I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a very vivid memory of the way my parents spoke, and the 50's that I grew up in are closer to the 20's, I think, than today in many, many ways.
Most of my memories of the Sixties are ones of optimism, high spirits and confidence.
I feel that we are currently living in a world that is similar to late '50s, early '60s kind of world.
The 1960s were really a life-changing time.
In the Seventies, we still had dreams and hopes of Utopia, but by the end of the decade, the world had shifted to the right.
I was born in the 1980s, so learning about the late 1960s was really fascinating, not only just because of the way things looked and sounded but because of what was going on in society at that time.
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.
When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.
I remember when I was growing up. My great wish was to understand who I was and how I fit in the world.
I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s.
