It's pretty interesting to think about how much has changed over the past few decades. Society is so much different now than it was in the 1960s, and relatively speaking, the '60s were not all that long ago. It's fun to take a look back on the old days to see what life was like all those years ago. Some people have nostalgic memories from the 1960s, and others are just learning about the '60s for the first time. Either way, it is cool to see how much everything has changed.
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. Each year contains some of its own memories and moments, and 1966 is a year many remember with fond memories. The swingin' sixties contained a lot of groovy music, funky color palettes, and a whole lot of fun.
So, here we have collected 30 images from 1966 that encapsulate what life looked like back then. It is impossible to capture it all, but some of the essence and vibe can be represented through these images.
