No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Who (circa 1966).

The Who were a new kind of group, not for the traditional female audience, but for a new constituency of disenfranchised and often volatile young men. For [Who guitarist Pete] Townshend thought that mod was ‘an entirely male system. And what’s interesting is that this was running concurrently with Beatles gigs, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders gigs and Rolling Stones gigs, at which you would have a few mod girls and loads of silly women screaming their heads off. Who next week would be screaming about somebody else.

‘So the tone of the times was one of, not so much experimentation but … we are talking about a generational cusp here, there’s no question. What’s interesting is why at that point pop culture and everything else changed. The first manifestation of it was kids who were born in 1945 and getting to that age, and deciding that they want to enter manhood using a different set of semiotics. You grow up with people that have a fixed way of looking at their lives, and if it doesn’t work for you, you have no option but to redraw.’

— Jon Savage, 1966: The Year The Decade Exploded.
