It is quite amazing and pretty interesting to think about how much life has changed over the decades. Life is so much different now than it was in the 1960s. The 1960s weren't even all that long ago, in retrospect. It can be fun to take a look back at the old days, there is a lot that can be learnt from decades gone by, and all of that information is important. From a change in trends to fashion to music to films and just about everything else imaginable, everything is so different, and that isn't always a bad thing, but it is a strange thing.

The 1960s was an era of change and revolution. It was revolutionary in terms of social norms and everything else. Clothing, music, and recreational activities were becoming more obscure and people were a bit more daring. To get more specific, 1962 was a memorable year right at the start of the decade. The beginning of the 1960s saw a rise in bands like the Beatles and Bob Dylan. There was the sad death of Marilyn Monroe. There was the creation of the first Walmart. A lot happened in that year.

So, here we have collected 25 photos from the iconic year of 1962. These images contain representations of life, society, and many other happenings people might feel nostalgic for.
