A lot of us are obsessed with vintage stuff nowadays, from clothes to music to generally wishing we had grown up in the 60s. We often forget, however, that our dear old parents were the ones who started all those trends we now admire.
Internet users are now sharing photos of their parents when they were young and hip, and it's pretty much safe to say that they were about a hundred times cooler than us. Maybe it was all the psychedelic rock, Mustangs, and mullets. Maybe it was the fact that, as one user commented, they "played outside and didn't have memes." Either way, the days of peace and love certainly look a lot more blissful than where we're at now.
Scroll down to take a walk back in time, and if you've got photos of your parents looking too cool for school, add them to our list.

The Soviet Union was quite open for foreign tourists by the way and there were many and many of them visiting. It's Soviet citizens who were unable to travel abroad and if they were, it was only to the countries of the so-called Eastern Block (Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, etc).
djinnjeannie 8 years ago
Americans still don't travel overseas much, fewer than half have ever owned a passport. In the 70s that number would have been smaller. My Dad and plenty of his friends visited Russia in the 60 & 70s. It wasn't that exotic a destination to Scottish folk.

My Dad Teaching Math In Southern California (Late 70's/Early 80's)
Pamela Grove 8 years ago
Has anyone besides me noticed the overwhelming majority of these "cool" pictures are of teens or young adults in the late 60s, 70s, and early 80s? This is MY generation as I graduated in 1979. We WERE a pretty cool bunch and I think we did pretty good in the world. We may not have saved the world and humanity as our grandparents, the greatest generation, did in WWII but we saved parts of it. We brought mankind into the digital world, went to Saturn and Pluto, Uranus and Neptune. We've done more to save the planet and reverse the damage to our skies, oceans, animals, and habitats begun in the Industrial revolution in the 19th century and continuing until the 1950. Those hippies with their dirty hair and beads most likely saved the whale from extinction. We've saved and brought back the Bald Eagle, got rid of DDT and lead paint and more other things than I can name. We are pretty cool and we aren't done yet.

The guy to the right looks like he's about to punch his friend for grabbing his girls a*s.

If so, he must have had something special undercover, and used it well, because he is nothing worth looking at up front. ;D

No pictures but let's name everything. The very first is she's a single mother who became pregnant after being raped. The strength to take on a child by herself at 23, that's a strength I do not possess. She went to Europe twice because of her singing voice, 1st she represented Wisconsin (only a couple from each state won the seats), 2nd was through some program Jimmy Carter started. She rode a motorcycle that she won on the radio. She took a spiritual journey from WI to California by herself with her dog. She appeared on the cover of Time because her factory made the magazines. She hurt her back lifting those magazines, had 2 spinal surgeries and went back to school for computers. And lastly, I have a bad immune system and have been sick for 22 years and she's been my caretaker, doing everything I ever need while working to put s roof over my head and food in my belly. THAT is why my mom is so unbelievably cooler than me.

"#75 My Parents in 1977" is Roger Moore and Barbara Bach in The Spy Who Loved Me. They were nobody's parents together.

Looks like they removed the contentious picture because my #75 is indeed "some dude in a marijuana mangrove"…but I don't have a #80…

If I can add one piece of art to this article I would be more than happy. Here was my sexy af mom with her lover from that time. In the summer of 1982. She was 21 years old. :) 22279119_1...4c8d51.jpg

These old photos are fantastic! They stir up my own memories of those days growing up...the cars, clothes, hair. I have a pic from 1971-72, my sister Brucene Smith, Miss World USA, with Bob Hope on his tour to entertain the troops. Bruceneand...07aae9.jpg
