People blame the 1960s for just about everything these days, but it was the decade when all that post-war furtiveness and small-mindedness was finally blown open, and opportunity really came knocking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the Sixties in some ways is a barrier to young people today. They think of it, you know, what we're doing is not that. But it's partly the myth of the Sixties. It always felt embattled and small. It always, almost always, was a small group of people relative to the opposition around.
People get so tired of the '60s.
Certainly there's a huge appeal to the '60s, because it was such a big turning point to everyone. It was the era of change, the boiling point. People rebelled against things - the hippies, the feminists, the protesters. All these things just built up and boiled over. I think people can relate to that today.
It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex.
The 1960s were really a life-changing time.
I don't really remember much about the '60s at all. You know, 1970 is the first year I remember pretty well.
I didn't like the '60s because it was too important what people who had nothing to do with the war thought about it.
People talk about the '60s, but they were merely a mass production of what the '50s had begun.
The '60s was a time of unthinkabilities.
Many things happened in the sixties, but the period is no more significant, better, or more 'political' than today. It's time to turn the page.
