A decade after the Second World War, the pessimism and hopelessness gave way to a new era in which young people became immersed in the new found phenomenon of "teenage life" and dove head first into the new cultural movements that developed during the 60s.

Mods and Rockers peacefully coexisted together in the UK, sharing the streets and the roads. That is, until 1964, when a massive fight broke out between the two groups. Chaos and wreckage filled the streets of the coastal city of Brigton and media were quick to dub these movements as "dangerous" and "decadent". And precisely because of that, their popularity increased exponentially among young people in the UK and all over the world.

Now, an exhibition here in Spain takes us back to the 60s to relive this battle and follow these movements throughout the years. To learn more about "Mods and rockers", we visited the National Anthropology Museum and spoke with director, Fernando Sáez Lara and curators, María Molinero and Susana Álvarez.
