In some ways, the '60s were a reaction to the '50s and the intensity of the Cold War.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People talk about the '60s, but they were merely a mass production of what the '50s had begun.
Well, I actually grew up in the sixties. I feel very lucky, actually, that that was my slice of time that I was dealt. Let's remember that the real motivation in the sixties, and even in the fifties, was the Cold War.
The '60s was the end of the America that the rest of the world liked.
The '60s are my favorite decade - with the Cold War, the women's movement. And then there's the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair.
The '60s were an amazing time.
The '50s were terrifying with nuclear bomb stuff but boring in a social way, and then the '60s were happening, and remember, there was no AIDS.
I didn't like the '60s because it was too important what people who had nothing to do with the war thought about it.
The '60s was a time of unthinkabilities.
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.
I don't really remember much about the '60s at all. You know, 1970 is the first year I remember pretty well.
