I was a teenager during the late sixties and it was a fantastic time to be alive as a young person. The fashion and makeup were so original and the music was great. I remember London as being a hub of colourful young people. Apparently it was chic to be British in those days.

I think you must have been listening to a different commentary than I was. As was traditional in 1967 the older generation were baffled and shocked by anything and anyone they didn't understand. The Puritan ethic still ran very deep mid-sixties Britain. Homosexuality wasn't legalised until 1967 and a broad sweep of the public was still strongly against legalisation. Therefore young men with flowers in their hair were considered a stepping stone towards sexual immorality.

A snapshot of a long-vanished period in English culture. Outside of London, it was still 1955. Jimi, Small Faces, Stones, Move Beatles, Who etc were brilliant. The charts were dominated by Ken Dodd, Engelbert Humperdinck, New Seekers, and other MOR acts. The image and the reality were two different things. Poignant to see Simon Dee at the height of his short-lived glory. He ended up as a bus driver for London Transport.

I remember the New Seekers. I believe they were put together by a member of the original Seekers from Australia. The New Seekers were okay I suppose. The two girl singers Eve Graham and Lyn Paul were pretty girls, but with mediocre talent and the same applies to the rest of the group. They were not a patch on the original Seekers who produced some brilliant songs. Their female singer, Judith Durham, had one of clearest, loveliest voices I have ever heard. This Australian group was beautiful and original and I remember feeling so sad when they broke up.

If you mean this current generation of people in their teens, yes you have no style of your own. It’s all a take-on or stolen from prior generations. The music is just 80’s synth with 90’s hip-hop and the clothing is “nerd” mixed with yuppie. I’m not old, but I have enough common sense to see this generation has zero originality. In fact, it’s not just this generation, but the one before it too. From the year 2000-present day, there are no stand out styles or decade defining attributes. Even in the early 90’s, they had a way of satirizing the 80’s and understood what defined that decade, and it was just five years before. But, if you try to do that today, look back at 2010, what defines that time? NOTHING… not a damn thing. People still look the same and dress the same, music is still the same. Your generation has no original ideas or style.

So there it was from the very beginning: the two sides of the Boomers. One side was youthful self-indulgence and creativity. And the other was the drive for career and money. As youth faded and the creativity was exhausted, what was left was the drive for career and money... and self-indulgence.

Ah 60's we had a man on the Moon and the best music. Concorde had its first flight. Boeing 747 also. Cars were superb like the jaguar and mustang . And 50 years before planes were made from wood and fabric cars looked looked like carriges. We thought that in another 50 years we will conquer space, but we don t even have the Concorde . Take that futurology!

My favorite decade ever ! People who were young during the 1960's (and especially in Britain) were so lucky. There's something so special about the 60s... People looked happier, healthy, dreamy,... Even childlike somehow (I'm saying this in a very good way). I love everything about this time, the music, the fashion, the lifestyle ! Also, I wish I could live in a world were people don't have cellphones, in a world where there is no internet but just human beings interacting with each other. I'm 22 but I'm trying my best to get rid of all those bad habits that reign everywhere now. By the way, I also notice that everyone was looking thin and healthy, not one overweight person in sight. I guess it's because people were much more active back then and weren't consuming junk food and such. Women had a small waist and were looking feminine and elegant. I will try my best to resemble them. Ugh, I'm being so nostalgic again...

People looked childlike because that was fashionable. The big hair& bobs, big eye makeup, a line shift dresses, tights, all the color, the poses of the fashion models , their body type. It was a return to youth. To look like a toddler or a doll.

It looks glamorous, and in many ways was; however, the reality for many was darker: There was tremendous inequality, many men earned very little in dangerous, dirty, or precarious employment, and women were paid even less. Women were expected to leave their jobs if they married, and were not permitted to do things we take for granted now, such as borrow money, rent a car or TV, without the written permission of a man. Advertisements for accommodation would openly state, "No dogs, no Irish, no blacks", and so on. The "rebellious" youth culture shown in this video was in some ways a protest against these bad old ways in society, and the grubby, grimy old Britain as much of it was then, as much as being an expression of youthful exuberance and new ideas.
