We continue our look at rock in the United Kingdom this week with a look at the other side of England's youth: the Rockers. In essence, two groups of teens dominated the English rock industry, the Mods and the Rockers. Being distinct in nearly all of their nuances, these two also preferred distinctly different groups. The Rockers adopted the Teddy Boy styles that had captured the youth before them, and, for most Rockers, the music that they received from across the ocean, rock and roll.
