Analysis of The Jam - Going underground

Here is the song again,


In the video not only are there a lot of references to the 'mods' but there are also genre theories present and these are,

Distopia - It is not a song about what people wish was happening it is basically having a dig at the goverment in 1980 and the prime minister (Margret Thatcher)

Social inadaquacy - The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, the ric want more money and the people theya re getting it from are the poor

Weller is basiclly singing about everthing he hates and the libary footage of the atomic bomb is a refrence to Engalds commitment to the nuclar program in the 80's
