It can be fun to look back on what life was like in the past. Modern ages are fun, new technology is interesting, but it is also cool to go back to the world's roots and see how things used to be. Society has changed drastically in the past 60 years, and nothing looks quite like it did back then. Everything from fashion to music to trends to design and everything else has evolved or changed in some way.

The 1960s were a revolutionary time in life. The 1960s were also known as the 'swingin' sixties,' which is a pretty perfect name for the decade, considering the vibe. There are so many '60s memories that have been documented and shared online so that no one forgets what the decade entailed. From small, everyday moments to big, life-changing events, nothing has been forgotten.

So, for those who either want to indulge in some 1960s nostalgia and take a look back on what the old days were like or for anyone who is unfamiliar with the decade and wants to take a peek at what it held, here are 25 throwback photos from the 1960s. This is how people lived 60 years ago.
