This is an amazing and fun to watch group of 1960s & 1950s clips. Don't turn this off without seeing all of them. The subjects change rapidly and you will get a sense of what baby boomer teenagers were like back then and what baby boomer teenagers witnessed. These clips are a portion of a documentary that I collected back in the early 1990s when I was doing a documentary series for television on the 1960s, the baby boomer generation. Unfortunately I cannot credit all of the filmmakers because I do not know who they are. So many commentators on my videos have attacked the boomers that I thought I would run this unique selection of clips to give a sense of how it felt to be a teenager growing up in the late 1950s to late 1960s, not only in the USA but in Europe and Japan. Things started innocently and grew more and more outrageous and aggressive and in some cases violent. Two forces were at work that affected baby boomer teens and college students. One was the cultural breaks with tradition – longer hair – different clothing – freer sex– minor school rebellions – less going to churches & temples – rock 'n' roll – drugs like marijuana – mini skirts - hippies in the USA and India. The memes included be different from your parents & live for the present. The other force at work by baby boomers was the political changes that took place during this period. A very small group of those who say that they participated in the political events of the 1960s, just about 35% of the baby boomer generation, thought of themselves and behaved like political radicals. They looked physically similar to the rest of the rebellious teenagers but in no way were they. These clips are quite amazing and include teenagers and college students talking about how they'd like to live their lives (I'd like to have a video rig today and interview what happened to these people), Governor Ronald Reagan, Elvis Presley and other rock 'n' roll rule breakers, leather jacket, acid heads in San Francisco during the Summer Of Love, the ever present possibility of nuclear war with the Soviet Union our arch enemy, and scenes showing (don't stop watching before you see this) what political radicals in France, England and Japan did to rebel against political and social systems that they thought needed changing. They became shockingly violent. Join my channel and get access to my perks: null
