You all are a bunch of fucking wankers with no sense of history...
The oldest known media mention of the word "modernist" was in Colin
MacInnes' 1958 novel "Absolute Beginners".
That was:
- The year Paul Weller was born.
- Six years before the Brighton riots.
- 15 years before Quadrophenia the album.
- 16 years before the Jam formed.
- 21 years before Quadrophenia the movie.
- 43 years before the-goddamned-days.
Mod is for gray haired old farts not kids. How dare any of you call yourself
a mod! If you were one of the modernists that MacInnes referred to then
you'd be just slightly younger than my grandparents.
