30 Times People Found Out Their Parents Were Cooler Than Them And Shared These Pics As Proof
There probably was a time when you thought your parents weren’t cool. That’s quite normal for teens who care about their reputation and status among their peers. You know how parents can be sometimes.
However, interestingly enough, there will come a time when you’ll look at your parents and think “huh, they certainly are cool,” despite them being at that very same, or very similar age in their lives that you were when you thought they weren’t all that cool.
Well, people on Twitter have been doing just that—being in awe at how cool their parents actually were back in their youth (or young adulthood) and sharing pictures.

Not too long ago, writer Adam Serwer tweeted a picture of his parents from the early 1960s. In the picture, the two are seemingly in a restaurant or bar of some sort, having some drinks and socializing.
And now that Adam is all grown up, he felt forced to admit that his parents were actually cooler than him. Around 19,000 people seemingly agreed that they are indeed cool by leaving a like under the photo.
Others started sharing pictures of their own parents and other relatives being cool, artsy, photogenic, what have you, from when they were young back in the ‘50s through to the ‘80s.

More weddings should be like this. A genuinely happy couple with less fuss.

Love that her dress and veil are blue. It was an "in thing" to have different colored wedding dresses.

I don't really like sharing personal pictures, but if I didn't have that anxiety, I would have shared an image I have of my great grandmother in her youth (around the 1930's), all dressed up in her ballet wear and looking like a real classic beauty. I never got to meet her, unfortunately.

Can I just say that the fashion of the 40s-early 60s was so awesome?! Sometime I think I was born like 50 years too late.
