In the 1960s, two British youth subcultures emerged: Mods, who rode scooters, wore suits and listened to blues and soul music, and Rockers, who favored motorcycles, leather jackets and rock/pop music. In the late 1970s, the punk rock movement sparked teenage rebellion through provocative fashion inspired by bands like Crass and the Sex Pistols. Common activities in youth culture since the 1980s include skateboarding, stunt biking, playing instruments, gaming, social networking, and consumerism.
