What might be even more surprising is that, reportedly, 99% of those messages have no impact.

Rare, Vintage Photos Of Mod Women In The 1960s
In the late 1950s, a new subculture in fashion and music (particularly jazz) began to spread throughout Britain. At the time, the men and women who were spearheading the movement were called “modernists” because of their dedication to modern jazz. By the 1960s, when the media caught wind of the culture, they began to use the term “mod” to describe everything from their fashion to their music to their motor scooters. London quickly became known as the epicenter of this movement, which made a great impact on pop culture, and which eventually began to spread to other countries in the West.
