The late 1970s mod revival was led by the band The Jam, who had adopted a stark mod look and mixed the energy of punk with the sound of 1960s mod bands. The mod revival was a conscious effort to harken back to an earlier generation in terms of style. In the early 1980s in the UK, a mod revival scene influenced by the original 1960s mod subculture developed. There was some crossover with the 2 Tone ska revival of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The UK mod revival was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California. In the 1990s, Britpop bands such as Oasis, Blur and Ocean Colour Scene showed that they were influenced by the mod revival, in terms of music and fashion. A number of 1970s mod revival bands have reunited in the 2000s to play concerts.
