quote: Mod lunatic, it's a shame you've got into Mod because you want to be different, stand out and be stared at in the street. This gives the Mod scene a bad name
what she actually wrote was
quote: so for a while, i just dressed really weird because i like to stand out. i enjoy having people stare at me on the street! then, precisely one year and one day ago, i had a self-renaissance when i discovered the who, who eventually got me into mod
So in summary she got into mod through The Who - not out of a desire to be different. Anyway, whats so wrong with getting into mod for that reason? As long as someone gets into mod, surely thats the main thing.

Re: were back
Hi Mystery, Daddy Rolling Stone, no I wasn't being bitchy and it wasn't a personal attack on Modlunatic...it's just an
attack on what she said.
I'm fed up to the back teeth of people saying "They want to be different" as it kinda paints the Mod scene as being a "Freak Show" which is insulting. As far as I'm concerned this scene is full of some very cool sussed people and it's a shame that some others view it as a launching pad for their obsession with wanting to be different.
Just for the record I can't understand why anyone would want to be stared at...I live my life as normal as anyone else, I just happen to dig a scene. Mystery as we were saying on the phone I think it's great younger people getting into it if it's for the right reasons but I've seen people come and go when they get bored and go onto their next thing.
Once again...wasn't trying to be nasty and mean but I have to speak my mind! That's all! It's my view and I'll stick to it!
Peace xxxx

Re: were back
I agree with you completely Kitty. It always scares me when people say they want to be different and stand out. To me that means they're not happy with themselves or confident enough. That's why I wouldn't wear a Parka covered in targets with Mod written all over me. If you don't know I'm a Mod then you don't need to know.
Ok, whose gonna be the first to point out that I stand out when I'm dressed in Purple or Red or any of the other bright colours I wear? Well, the answer to that is I do it for me and no one else....
I did think you came across a bit harsh though Kitty, it doesn't matter how you get into Mod. In the beginning when I first got into it I wanted the world to know, but as you go on you realise things...
--- ooops!...... did I err???

Now *that* is true. I think that Luna and others that have said the 'wanting to be different' thing, mean that they don't want to follow all the crappy fashions that are fed to them through MTV etc. And that led them to mod. But it could have led her/them to punk, goth or whatever couldn't it? But she chose mod

Re: were back
Maybe a bit harsh Jeff but the amount of times I've heard people saying they want to be different always makes me blow my lid! Wasn't trying to be intentionally harsh.
I'm not saying that I'm a perfect but some people's views are questionable and I'm confident in the fact that I dig the scene for myself and not because I feel I want to go against what is considered the "Norm". As far as I'm concerned the music I listen to is "The Norm" and I have no angst about it whatsover.

Re: were back
Yeah but Mystery just because you don't like the other music genres on the telly that shouldn't mean that is the catylst that veers you towards the Mod scene. It's as ilogical as saying "I hate apples and pears but I'll put up with oranges as they don't taste as bad".
But as you say....if it's what gets people onto the scene then that's something. Just seeing programmes on the telly was the catalyst for me... I thought the singers were amazing, the lyrics to die for and was generally knocked out because I simply liked it and not because I was trying to be different or anything.
Peace (again) xx
