Growing Up in the 1960s Means You Remember This

VISIT THE RECOLLECTION ROAD STORE

Growing up during the 1960s meant that you experienced first-hand some of the most important moments of the last 100 years. The decade was also full of details that made your childhood special, and some of which make you yearn for the past. This video revisits some of my older videos, compiling them into a longer, more comprehensive presentation. So, please enjoy this compilation of If You Grew Up in the 1960s…You Remember This!

12:10 It's probably hard for a young person to imagine what a HUGE deal it was to see something in COLOR on your HOME TV.

Put cards on your bicycle fender so that the spokes hit them and made a clacking sound...

We seniors were blessed to have grownup in a golden era. The nostalgia is real.

[louismcglasson]

We had so much more freedom than kids do today; thus, we enjoyed life more.

I know so many people say this in the comments, but… I would give anything to go back and live in this time.

I remember the sadness and fear immediately after JFK's assassination. On Feb 9 1964, Ed Sullivan helped change the world by introducing The Beatles. Still a fan after all these years. Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek-- loved them all back then, still love them now.

For kids that grew up in this 60s, like me, 67 years old, i often dwell on the wonderful childhood we had. Although I'm older today, i wouldn't swape those days for anything. Thank you, my beloved parents, for making a child's life so great!

The America in which we grew up no longer exists. I miss it.

Something that most kids were into, was rushing home after school to watch DARK SHADOWS at 3:00. The show started in 1966 and and became very popular until it ended in 1971. This little tidbit would be cool to add into another 1960's Recollection Road video. 😊😊

Made this old broken down marine smile seeing things I’d forgotten about

[dxradioman]

I was lucky to be born in 48, so I got to live in both the best decades of 50s and 60s.

0:50 That little girl is drinking from a hose !! Oh, the HORROR !!
Yeah, back then, we all did it. And we're still here, 70 years later.

A great time to be a kid ! In the summer we would be out the door by 8:00 am not back until dark. Playing baseball, building forts in the woods, riding our bikes gave us the freedom to go where we wanted. What was great about the 60`s as a kid, No social media! No cell phones !

[johnbethea]

As a combat veteran in Vietnam 1966-67, the news kept our parents so scared every night.

[MarkTurner-vsuc]

It was so much better its indescribable. 60s, 70s, 80s. I was there. It was nothing like this.

[mariahsmom]

Never understood why the Jetsons didnt last longer.it was a great show!

[suzannemckenzie]

Born in 1953. Yes to all. Except Howard Johnson. We didn’t go out to eat. Did anyone else have ‘bubble’ rings in the 60’s. Plastic rings with a dome of solid plastic instead of a stone.
The candy! Penny candy and gum. 3 cent candy bars.
The freedom we had to explore and make mistakes. It was a blessed time

[questfortruth]

Compared to what this country's devolved into today, it seems that it was heaven!

[smokeynewton]

I was born in 1952 and grew up in the 50s and 60s. Not only did I watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, I saw them live at the Indiana State Fair in 1964. I was 12 and yes, I had Beatle Boots. It's hard to imagine just how much the world has changed if you weren't there. And not for the better.

[davidmick]

Born in '62, everything in this video is taking me back to the best times of my life. Drivers license in '77....gas was 42 cents a gallon and a bottle of coke 10 were the days my friends, i wish they'd never end.
