huey, dewey and looey were donald duck's nephews
I was young ..that was the best
37/40 this time. Donald Duck nephews. Love this quiz. 😊💝🐘 🎅🎄
@@yvonnepetty3400 Thanks. I made it some time ago, but it is still getting lots of views.
The Worst,. Vietnam,. I was there, I lost Friends
Being able to run and play without fear of being taken or hurt by someone. We used to ride our bikes all afternoon all around our neighborhood, never once worried about being abducted. Walked to and from school…….. it was a great time to be a kid!
And where did you live ???
Here we had Myra hindley and the murdering swines she mixed with killing children 😡
You do know that it isn't the risk of children being abducted that's gone up, but the fear of it happening? I feel sorry for kids today: they have so little freedom & live these circumscribed, constantly monitored lives all because cable, and later the internet, gave us a 24-hour news cycle that needed to be constantly filled.
I remember that. I was born in 1960. Walking barefoot all summer long, not wearing bike helmets, playing all day outside without adult supervision.
🦕
1960s were the best years to be a kid.... when kids could still be kids. There were no, computers, no internet, no cell phones, life was lived here and now as it happened.
It was also a great time for teenagers
Best comment, and it was still a time of innocence and Disney magic. I remember it as a wholesome time. Many of us didn’t even have a TV or a house phone.
100%
Just the best time to be alive
and we could come home bleeding, but if we didn't have broken bones , we just cleaned up, sat down and had supper
The 60.s were the best times ever,so lucky to have lived through those times
I agree a wonderful time in everything
I was a baby in the 60's so sadly don't remember much.
Unless you got drafted and ended up in Vietnam
You were lucky to have got through them, never mind lived through them.
If nothing else, the free sex! 😁😁😁
So much to remember about the '60s. The sense of freedom to try new fashions, listen to new music, and strike out to forge your own path in life. Those were good times. Far more upbeat than today.
It comes and goes Sue,I know Alf 75
@@alfching2499 Maybe we were a lot more innocent then. The '50s and '60s were far better times than the turmoil of today. Take care and good luck to you!!!
I grew up in the sixties . it was adifferent world back then. Minimum wage was one dollar an hour. Now i know people who are getting jobs at factories starting out at eighteen to twenty dollars an hour . People were so laid back then. Even the police were different . They seemed to really want to protect and serve back then .
NO. THOSE WERE VERY BAD TIMES.
You knew the words to all the hit songs and you could dance to them. Clothes were colourful and arms weren't covered in tattoos.
The best thing of the 60s was the MUSIC 🎼🎶🎵
🎸🎸🎸🎸Yep! Never been better.
Yep, the music and my knees still worked.
The best things of the 60s were the music, no computers, no internet, no cell phones, no social media. the worst things of the 60s were the assassinations Of The Kennedys and the Viet Nam War.
@@josephasner171 Music was so eclectic, Motown to surf music. British pop, Credence Clearwater and even folk music. Heavy metal was just beginning so much to enjoy.
@@davew4998 🧎♀
The best thing about the `60`s is that I was a youth,
😉😅 me too
The worst thing about the 60s was that I was a baby and didn't get to see it.
I was a teenager respect to all
Graduated high school and entered college
Absolutely!
The best of the best in the '60s was the music. The muscle cars were fantastic, women's clothing was colorful along with go-go boots, and I bought my first car in the '60s - - a 1967 Chevelle Malibu with 327 HP.
I bought my 1966 Chevrolet super sport . What a great ride that was. Lots of fun
I was a teen in the late sixties and now i sit and think about all the Camaros and Mustangs we took to the scrap yard . Cars that even thought in various states of condition would be worth a lot of money today , but we were young and thought that the good times were going to last forever.
Got my first car in '67. A '62 Chevy Corvair w/2-speed automatic on the dashboard.
@@europeon2wheels89 Mine was a62 Impala in 1970
The best thing about the sixties was I met and married my husband. I would not exchange growing up in the sixties if I could. It was an incredible time to be alive and young. I hate it for all the youth who have come since and what they missed out on. Other than the Vietnam war life was wonderful. I wish I could put into words to explain how special it was.
Vickie Taylor: I feel exactly the same way. The Sixties were a wonderful time to be young. The vietnam war the draft abd the assassinations of the Kennedys are the Only Things I don't miss about the Sixties. Other than those, it was an incerdible time to grow up and be young. if time travel was possible, i'd travel back to that Time.
I am 73 and was a teen from late 62 to late 69. It was a great time to grow up in the west.
The...60s...where...the...best..and..going..in..the..early...1970s...cars...clothes..partying..all..the..time...i..had..a..1968..

@@lyndafreier4090
Go and see an optician.
you just did!
I was 13 in 1960 and 24 when it ended. Drafted for Vietnam in 66. An incredible amount of epic stuff happened in those ten years.
Thank you for your service during turbulent times abroad and above all else domestically!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
LBJ sorta ruined it all for alot of Us...67, 68 Nam
Better late than never
Thank you for your service
To all Nam vets
Wow you saw the best and the worst
The first country, to land a spacecraft on the moon, was the United States. They Landed a spacecraft in August of 1969. Neil Armstrong, was the first man to.step foot on the moon, and Buzz Aldren, was the second man, to step foot on the moon.
The worst fashion craze was the “paper dress” Huey,Dewy & Louie were Donald Duck’s nephews…The 60s were a time of change and not all for the better. War, drugs, assassinations…..but it still feels better than now!!!
What about the paper knickers a thumbs down definitely?
But one thing the '60s was the turn of the century which we experienced that and everybody else missed it
The best thing about the 60's; young people found their voices. The worst part was the loss of innocence.
The Best Thing about the 60s was not having mobile phones and Social media,we grew up naturally.
I loved living in the 60s. Great music (Elvis at the top 1960-63 and again68-69), great films, and a great sense of freedom and endless possibilities…
Best thing about the 60s I was young and healthy, the Beatles the music, long hair and the fashion ( mainly !, )
Grew up in the sixties. Youth rebelled against old restrictions and beliefs. We had the best hair and certainly started the best music. Rock and roll is in my soul!
I, too, love '60's music. But please don't forget,:. Rock n Roll started in the '50's!
@@hoperesnick1453 Rock n Roll was a fad that lasted a few years. Real music started with The Beatles in the early 60s.
Everything about the 60’s was Wonderful!! I could ride my bike Anywhere on Halloween could not only go up to most any house (as long as it was in Our neighborhood) but gettin actual Homemade candy & stuff!! Free to roam the woods & fields behind our house without worry of a killer or anything!! It was the Best!!❤✌️
The best thing about the 60's was THE MUSIC. Brilliant quiz..thanks.
Agree about the music--and affordable to see it live! $4 to see the Doors at the Hollywood Bowl vs $650 to see Taylor Swift in San Francisco now.
EVERYTHING was great about the sixties! I was just a wee girl loving life, and I had my whole life ahead of me. I'm in MY sixties now and I still love life!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Everything WAS great about the 60's... as long as you were White.
Even with all the ups and downs
Me too, in my 60s now & still digging the trip!
@@curtischildress9580 am so fed up with negativity. I can't do anything about Putin, climate change or any of the other evils of the world, although I wish I could, but it's pointless worrying about them. Do what you can, that's all you can do, and live the best life you can.
I missed 3 and guessed correctly on 3 more. However, the 60's were the best era to be a teenager. The cars and the music being the best. The Vietnam War being the worst.
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the 60’s. Spent all our free time bike riding all over the neighborhood, playing softball, hoops if the neighbors had one, otherwise using the one on the school playground, drinking water fro the closest neighbor’s garden hose when you’re thirsty, sitting under the closest streetlight after dark telling ghost stories….”ah those were days my friend we thought the’d never end”. ❤
I loved the 60's, best music, fashion and I graduated 1969, last of the sixies!
I am 68 and I had a blast doing this quiz! I am looking forward to more🥰🇨🇦!
That's great to hear. Thanks for watching 😀
Was born in1946 but still missed 15! I guess that's still pretty good for my age! Married in 1968. Best think to me was the new Motown music coming out! Worst was Kennedy's death! Was shocking!!
I was a teenager in the sixties. Best things were the music and fashion .
Exciting times.
Ashamed to say I missed three of the questions. The best part of the 60's was the music. By far the most talented musicians of any generation. Influence: "a little help from our friends". The worst were twofold, assassinations and Viet Nam.
perfect answers. I got 3 wrong too...Mary Quant? lol. Peace :)
I got 4 wrong and was thrilled with myself. I was very much into Romper Room, the Friendly Giant and cartoons for the first part of the 60s. That was followed by Batman and the Monkeys. At the end I was into Star Trac. Just one question dealt with those subjects.
And the fashions for me.
@@danatowne5498 h
Me too. But I say it is SO worth it to be old now, just to have been young then.
Surprised I answered so many correctly, was thinking the 70's was more familiar. My mom wore a beehive (for decades,lol). Worst was the Vietnam War, Kennedys being assassinated. Thanks for the upload, always fun.
Ah, the 60’s! I lived through them too. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times….
Thanks for pointing out that bell bottoms were sixties clothing. So were platform shoes (witness Sly and the Family Stone in the Woodstock movie). A lot of seventies fashion goes back to the sixties.
The best music ever and juke boxes at all the soda shops and everything else
The best thing about the swinging sixties was being in Liverpool where everything happened, life was great
Best part, music!! Best groups ever!! Losing JFK, Bobby and Martin Luther King.and bay of pigs. No bee hives hairdos but I do remember ironing my hair between a peice of wax paper to make it straight. 😁 I miss the 60s sometimes.good quiz!!🕊🇺🇸🙏
Vietnam
The U.S. did not lose the Bay of Pigs; the U.S.S.R. blinked first. It was scary.
The 60 were the golden years. Best decade of my life.
They'll be another 6os in 38 yrs time,don't spose it'll be like mine was Alf...76
WORST OF OURS. The years of comunism. The UMAP. Go to Cuba and you will love it.
The Fab Fifties were the best. The hippies spoiled the Sixties as things went downhill in the Seventies.
I was a little girl in the 60s. The worst was all the civil unrest and assassinations that occurred.
The best things of the 60’s was the music.
The worst was the Leisure suit
I forgot about the suit oh yeah I'd like to see some of the BOD Y
you guys have now in that suit
🤣💚
You can't blame the leisure suit on the 60's. The 70's are to blame.
@Bob R - You are WAY OFF! Leisure Suits were mid to late 70's. We (I say "we" because I was born 1950, so my teen years were in the 60's) had Bell-bottoms and Tie-dyed shirts.
@@lilivonshtup3808 My late husband wore a leisure suit for our wedding ceremony back in 1975 and you are right it definitely was the 70s and it was maroon
Has anyone ever seen a good looking leisure suit? I mean - really?
I was born in 1949 so I spent all my teens in the 60s. Although I live in the UK I still did reasonably well scoring a respectable 33 out of 40. Thanks "Quizzes 4U" and greetings from Scarborough England. ❤
I ALSO WAS BORN IN 1949..DECEMBER 1. THE SIXTIES WERE MY PRETEEN AND TEEN YEARS: HIGH SCHOOL AUGUST 1963 TO JUNE 16, 1967 AND COLLEGE AUGUST 1967 TO MAY 15, 1971
THE SIXTIES WERE THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE!
By the late 1960s my sister and I were REALLY into the music and attending every concert within our local area. I miss that time in my life.
I lived in London for four years in the 60s,a wonderful time,without knowing how wonderful it was,I got 35 out of 40,it was the best of times.
'60's were great, except for the 13 months I spent in the 1st Cavalry in 'Nam. But the best were the girls in their mini-skirts, Woodstock and the endless parties. It is said that if you can remember what you did in the 60's, then you didn't really have a good time. I had a great time but I'm not going to tell about it.😊
I spent my childhood in the 1960s. Primary school level. Beatles fan, bubble gum chewer, Dinky toy cars crazy, Elvis Presley movies, Star Trekker, skinny freckled faced kid.
I still remember the 60's. I still get flashbacks man.
If you were there, growing up in the '60s as I did, you'd know that the '60s are very hard to forget. 😂👍🏻❤️
I had a partial beehive hairdo. You had to rat your hair to make it puffy. It was hard as heck to undo all the tangles afterwards.
I was born in 51 and I remember the 60s well when everything was fun . There was an explosion of new types of art, not just music but painting and sculpture and world music like Ravi Shankar sitar player. There were plenty of jobs and the government helped apprentices learn skills. Everyone was smiling unlike now where cheerfulness is smothered in political correctness . Come the 80s it all changed and the gloom settled over our country.
Back when unions were strong and a young man just out of high school could join a union, get given a job for on the job training and attend apprentice school usually once a week. Then came Reagan, broke the unions, cut pay which led to lost benefits.
Yes is was a good time but hard as well. The Vietnam War was brought to us every night on the news as well as all the protests.
@@Dstrbrdgrnd Thank God for Ronald Reagan.
The sixties were truly the age of Aquarius. It's almost impossible to explain.
Yeah, if you weren't there it is impossible to explain.
It was a great and beautiful cultural flowering.
And now ? 😢
@@rootofecstasy I'm so happy that I lived through that period. I try to explain what it was like to young people, and they are in awe of what I describe.
Oh man the sixties. What an incredible time to be alive. Those of us born in the 50’ had a fantastic time in the 60’ & the 70’. Life was just so carefree. We would get up early in the summer go out all day and go home about 6ish for our tea. A picnic for us was a sugar butty & a bottle of tap water. 🤣🤣🤣👍
Good things to remember clothes, buying my first car, working, boys my long hair, meeting my soon to be husband ,fun . Bad things War, Racism, Drugs. Good times and bad times, but we miss our loved ones 💔 who have passed away.
This was really a trip down memory lane🥰🥰🥰thankyou
A lot of good (space program, Woodstock, some awesome cars) but also bad (assassinations, Vietnam), but overall, I had a great childhood in the 60's. Thanks for the quiz. I missed six.
"The Eagle has landed" I well remember those words! Missed 3 on this quiz and as always learned from it!👍
Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed.
@@larryjones8848 Thank you for the entire phrase, Larry. Getting old I guess...LOL. 😄
The best thing for me was learning to play guitar in the garage with the other guys....."House of the Rising Sun"........ Animals !! The worst was drugs & Vietnam war. I served in the USAF. Weapons worker bee 🐝
The Vietnam War was the worst of the 60's. It was awful looking through the newspaper!! Woodstock, the mood ring, baldy ring, my brothers not being drafted, Twiggy, Laugh In, getting a bicycle were some of the best things for me personally.
Thank you for sharing. I've never heard of a mood ring.🤔
1968 Tigers won the last true World Series.
@@Quizzes4U it was a plastic jewel with a heat sensitive chemical that changed colors with temperature, claimed to show how excited by your finger’s temperature. The same principle is used in thermometers placed on the forehead.
@@TomCee53 There was an insane craze in the 1970s for mood rings, right around 1975-1976 IIRC. Sorta went hand-in-hand with the disco trend.
@@xaenon
Exactly . Mood rings were definitely a 70's fad.
Born in 1958. Lots of turmoil in the 60s. Loved the hippies.
I remember the 50s very well. The best decade of all.
I was born in 1950 so remember the 60s well. Got 36 right. Appreciate your hard work and dedication.
Damn! I'm old enough to get everyone of those questions right without having to think about them. 😲
Know the feeling...🙃
Daze: Same for me. on question 40(The last question) the choices were Huey, Duey and luey are.(please forgive the spelling)
Living through these times helped... 60s.. Were the best.
I grew up in the 60s. Best music & bands...
I graduated! Loved the bell-bottom pants. The dark side; Charles Manson & his hippie murdering followers, Vietnam, loose morals, marijuana, but some great songs came out and are still being played today.
My favorite parts were the marijuana and loose morals! 😃
Now marijuana is becoming legal in some states. One reason they made pot a federal offence was that Nixon didn't like the war protesters but couldn't arrest them due to the 1st amendment. So he helped make pot illegal so he could arrest them for something else. Pot is still better than alcohol.
@@susanjerrell9220 LOL.....thnx
Some of the best quizzes I have found on youtube. I use them in my support groups for people living with dementia and they love them. Perfect format with the choice of answers, which helps to jog memories.
Thanks, that's awesome news. Glad they are helpful 😊
best thing about sixties I was young.
I always remember the Sixties with fond memories. The music was great!. Then I am reminded why the music is what it is. There was so much turmoil during the 60's. The civil rights movement, integration, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, the draft, VN, fighting 'the establishment,' politics, all kinds of protests from the very peaceful - to the riots, just so, so many issues that now aren't even issues.
It was mostly peaceful revolutionary time.
what issues aren't issues? It isn't gays, racism, or war
@@orestlozowskij4143 no it wasn't.
The best about the 60's was in 1965, the year I married my lovely wife and we are still married, 57 years later.
The worst was the assassination of President John F Kennedy.
BTW the Russians did land the first spacecraft on the moon but unsuccessfully, it crash landed as I recall.
Good quiz.
Congratulations. It's not often to hear of a couple that has stayed together that long. However, I must disagree with you on the worst part of the 60's. The assassination of JFK was a terrible thing, but the Vietnam War was much worse. Over 50,000 KIA and STILL over 1,200 MIA.
@@reb1050 Vietnam was terrible I agree. However JFK got assassinated because he was going to put an end to CIA escapades like Vietnam. We only had 16,000 advisors there that he was going to bring home. Johnson ended up sending 500,000 troops. Johnson was a terrible president, and Vietnam was only one oof his bad policies.
Best part of the 60's - I was young, cute and living in New Orleans
Best music ever was in the 60's!!!
As I recall, the best things about the 60's was that we got our first tv, telephone, and indoor plumbing.
38/40. How come I remember this quite easily but have forgotten why I just went into the pantry? 😀👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Excellent score dear . Very nice job . 🇺🇸👍😎🇬🇧
I know that feeling. Well done.😊🐘💝
I can't remember what I did yesterday 😂
I never wore a beehive hairdo but my mom sure did. It was an hours long process, endured once a week at the beauty parlor. My sister and I got dragged along. The rest of the week she wore a foam contraption around her hair/head at night to keep it in shape and minimize damage while she slept. Thnx for the memory!
That's so funny. Thank you for sharing. I can't see that coming back in fashion any time soon.😂
You mean she washed her hair ONCE a week?? Eyewww!
My mom did the same and a manicure. She worked as a waitress
European "beehives" didn't look like that one though, think Amy Winehouse if you want to envisage my best friend!
@@zoyarajennursingh949 Yep. Once a week shampoos (yeah, ick)
Four wrong! I got six wrong on the 70’s quiz. I’m born in 1958. The 60’s were a very special time in human societal development! I’m so glad I lived it!
Peace
The draft lottery started on Dec. 1, 1969. Unluckily for me, I was drafted before that and started basic training on July 11th. During my six weeks of basic training, there were four historical events. Only one of them that I knew about at the time. Of course, the moon landing was the big event. July 20th was declared a national holiday and we got the day off and they brought a TV into the barracks for us. We all sat around and watched the grainy picture for hours.
The other three events I didn't know about until after basic. One day before the moon landing was the Chappaquiddick incident, which ruined any chance of another Kennedy becoming president. The Manson family Tate murders happened Aug 9th, and then Woodstock Aug 15th (my sister was there). In the span of less than six weeks, four big events. What a wild time that was!
I got them all. That pretty much dates me. More on Woodstock would have been fun since I was there.
You're a liar.
Q-35/40. A 1950’s Baby-Boomer here good times & memories but every decade of my life has been awesome!.Thank you for making my day a good one with your outstanding game Quizzes-4-U!.🌎🌍🌏
All the best songs were written and recorded and became hits on the radio. Now, a ton of those songs are hits all over again due to being used in commercials on TV. My son asked why do I already know the song when it's a new commercial? I said it's because all the songs were big hits back in the 60's. LOL I also made a record with Andy Williams in those days. Proud mama here.
Kids went out and played, explored, socialized. Watched classic television and listened to the amazing progression of rock and pop music. The family was the centerpiece. Dinners, visits to relatives, vacations. What wonderful memories.
Best thing - I was a teenager. Worst thing - I was a teenager. 😆
Same goes. I am a pensioner now. Great. I am a pensioner now. Too late.
@@peterlewis7228 😅
Born in '65 but I got them all right. I have always said I was born 20 years too late. At heart, I have always thought of myself as a displaced 60's child. God, how I would have loved to have been able to go to Woodstock.
HHMMM! I'm not saying you are prone to stretch the truth, BUT I'd have to be there to back your claim with money! Now, if you did that on the second try, OK, I'm with you!
@@palerider420 By saying that you are not saying I'm prone to stretching the truth, you are actually saying that very thing.
I don't think I've ever met you as I'm sure I'd remember one such as you. So I'm at a loss to understand how you could have the gall to judge whether or not I have the intellectuality to complete a not very taxing quiz.
It matters not whether you or anyone else chooses to believe it or not.
32/40, but I was born in '61. Remember some of those conflicts from the news, which our parents always watched. Thanks to them x
1960 turned 13, great music, great fashion (for the young) a real change was made. Movies and TV had great shows, many were made into movies eg Star Trek. Also it was the birth of colour TV.
The best thing about the sixties was the creativity that took place in almost anything one can think of.
38/40.🇬🇧
Couldn't remember the closing act @ Woodstock & I can't remember the other one I couldn't remember...!
The 60s is memorable for a lot of good things but there's also the dark side. Cuban Missile Crisis, racial discrimination, Vietnam.....
Agreed.
Doing these Quiz programmes keeps my brain alert. At 71 this wiz of 40 questions I puff my chest out and got 34 correct. I try to do any quiz questions at least twice a week. 😊
Thanks...got them all. Yes, I remember the sixties... the best was the freedom to explore myself and the world, and the worst was that it ended! Thanks for the quiz.
When I am asked about my college major, I still say sex, drugs and rock n roll. I'm 71
Well, I went to college for three reasons. 1. To keep from getting drafted. 2. That's were the pretty girls were. 3. That's where the drugs were. But because of the girls and the drugs, my grades suffered considerably and I got suspended (academic probation). I ended up joining the Marines as a way to prevent getting drafted. I think that decision was also affected by self medication. I loved the 60's, but I must admit, I did a lot of STUPID things back then.
@@reb1050 Can't think of 3 worse reasons for going to college tbh.
Born in 1951 so aged 10 to 19, the music is unique in that it has lasted and is still popular today (2022). There were tunes you could learn, words that could be heard and songs were generally 2 1/2 minutes long - to fit on a single 45 rpm record. This was the decade where young people learned to grow up and their actions set the route for the future. The Hippies and the Peace Movement led to the Vietnam War stopping, Woodstock set the pattern for the Isle of Wight and Glastonbury - which continue to today. That was OUR decade and I am proud to have lived through it and learned from it.
Born in 62 my memories are vague and mostly about sun and school vacations . I remember one thing that was traumatizing : my mother curling my hair like the young Shirley Temple .
The best phrase I have ever heard is: "If you remember the 60's, you weren't there." !!
Best thing: psychedelics, who can forget orange sunshine, purple barrels, peyote. The worst: Manson, end of the era of peace and love. I'm not a hippie or a burnout 😊 just grew up in that era.
Owsley window pane.
In junior high school my class mates talked about drinking beer while I was talking about pot. They thought I was nuts. Years later, when they started smoking pot, I told them about peyote. Again, they thought I was nuts.
@@bjbell52 I witnessed the greatest, most mind blowing sunset on peyote. At least I think it was a sunset....
Good range of questions and well paced.
Almost too easy! I am so pleased I grew up in the 60's - a great time to be a child. 50's weren't too bad but my recollections of the 60's are more vivid.
33 out of 40.
I was born in '71, so, kinda proud of that score!
"If you can remember the 60s you weren't there."
I got about 80% and I wasn't even alive in the 60s.
Oh wait, then I don't feel so bad, as I missed 11 of them. BUT, I was born in 1959' !!
Not really an excuse, I didn't venture off too much until the seventies! Now I know I probably wouldn't do too well with those years!

I always kinda thought that the first 3 years of a decade is basically a continuation of the previous decade. The early 70s is a prime example.
So you didn't remember then you either guessed or have learned about the 60s.

Great Quiz 👍👍
Correct. Thanks for watching.
The Sixties. Wonderful. England was still English.
MUSIC was the best EVER, Fashion was great and the general feeling was amazing to the young kids of the time!!! And I got into Motorbikes and still ride!!!
I was a child so obviously, I remember the 60s fondly because I was in my halcyon years. I had no knowledge of anything outside of my reach. Canada's birthday was 1967 and we had just immigrated here the year before so I remember the parties and picnics well. The 'worst' fashion was not a particular item but all the fabrics for kids were scratchy. A lot of nylon and polyester that burned the back of your knees when you sat in school LOL.
Thank you for sharing. I remember scratchy pullovers as a child. 🙄
The greatest thing of the 60's was Elvis Presley! I was a little girl and I still remember how charismatic and attractive he was. He was my very first movie star crush and still is today!
The cars and the music were fantastic, especially from 65-69
I was born in 1973, and I got 33 questions right. I have always identified myself with the 60s: cinema, music, cultural icons, dress fashion... I feel like I was born 30 years too late.
Good for you!
"Boney & Skinny" for the "Twiggy" options made me laugh.
Me too. I was just a child but I do remember Twiggy with her short hair.
I was tripping through most of the sixties so this test should be tough. Maybe I should have taken more, I didn't need the multiple choice 70 percent of the time and missed two.
