That's what really interests me: how did the culture spread and mutate?
Record producers grooming would-be bands? California kids with English
clothing sources? Liner notes? I think that before video, music televsion,
etc, record sleeves and liner notes must have been the primary vector of the
mod (or any youth culture) virus. Thanks for the info, I feel just a
little bit less seriously misinformed.
