Just found this little film on YouTube, which seems to indicate a mod revival in China – or should that be mod in China – as it didn’t happen first time around.

It’s a seven-minute clip that mixes old footage and snaps (Quadrophenia and Brighton Beach for example) with footage of Chinese kids on vintage scooters in parkas. The words are in English and Chinese, so you don’t quite get the full story, but it’s interesting to see young Chinese folk buying up vintage scooters, particularly Vespas.

Love Modculture? If you enjoy what you read or have benefitted from it and want to help with the ever-increasing costs of the site and newsletter, you can always buy me a coffee at Ko-Fi. Every penny is helpful and appreciated.
