Beat Music (60s) | Evolution Of Genré
Although the 50's had a light growth in musical diversity, I think it were the 60's that lead to a stylistic explosion in the western hemisphere.

Modern Jazz was nearly out of date when the Mod culture started to take over London, Britain and eventually the whole world. Even Japan found itself in some mod revival hype in the '80s ("Bōsōzoku"). Before I continue with the actual "Mod-Music", let me draw you a more detailed picture of the subcultural correlation...
