Hey I know the feeling!! I'm 17 and none of my friends are into the Mod scene, so they don't really understand why I like it. But don't lose hope, there are definitely like minded people out there!!

Scarlet - Go and look at the Young Guns website. It's for Mods and scooter riders under the age of 25. Two young members of our scooter club Josh [18] and Laurie [18] are both on the site.

Enjoy.

I'm 15 and I've been a mod since I was 12. Pretty much all of my friends listen to house music and modern R'n'B (I don't even see how it's R'n'B)

Like it or not it's the modern R'n'B of it's time. Strip it down to it's bare roots and it's still R'n'B...Four beats to the bar. Mind you if your looking for what we regard as real Soul/R'n'B/Funk check out stuff like Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings. Brilliant stuff.

As for House Music...is it real House Music or just crap pop Dance Music?...I used to love the real stuff from 87 to 92. A lot of us where raving in those days. It was fun.

Thanks for the tip! I don't know. The "original stuff" started 10 years before I was born so

I keep getting told R&B is not rythm and blues now and it now stands for rythm and bass innit

Put it this way. In the U.S.A. there was an R'n'B chart in the 40's long before there was any Mods. Now the R'n'B of then does not sound like the R'n'B of the 60's so it's not going to sound like the R'n'B of today is it.

Ignore the charts and take a look around. There's some good soul full stuff out there.
