The OP comes across as someone who is of the "We are good, you are bad" kind of person, which is BS. While there are fashions, trends, issues, etc., that can be used to describe the era of each generation, they do not DEFINE them. As I said in another part of this thread, I was in grade school and junior high in the 60's. I was definitely aware of the Vietnam war(we ate dinner every night while watching war footage and listening to body counts), and the protests (which I agreed with), I was wearing my dresses and going to math and English classes, not living in Haight-Ashbury (and even there, not everyone was part of the "great" unwashed).
