Today, the Boomers take a lot of heat for being cranky or out of touch - but back in the day they were pretty cool.
Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s had its perks. There was a revolution in culture, style, ways of thinking, and just about everything else. Being in your teens and twenties back then meant hanging out after class, driving around in now-classic cars, and letting loose in contrast to their uptight parents of the previous generation.
Look back at the parties, festivals, and candid moments of Boomers back in their heyday.
