"Tweener, also known as Generation Jones, is the generation born between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. Tweeners are primarily the offspring of the Silent Generation; mostly they were children in the 1960s, and teens in the 1970s.
Disco Generation born 1958-1960, this generation was in its late teens when Saturday Night Fever, Disco, and Charlie's Angels were popular. This generation wore cuffed bell bottoms, high-waisted pants, and platform shoes."
Of all the things I did in the past year, at one level, I found that watching the music video "Kiss Me" (Sixpence None the Richer) was most enriching. Since my mother and aunt are born after 1958, I found it pretty neat, but my father is born in 1950.

I seriously want a 90s comeback, as well. Shiny plain pastel and white leather, tall same color boots, Celine Dion & white blond & maroon hair, plain fitted lime green Ts, and all black outerwear.
The only things I like about today might seem like today itself at first glance, that you can do and wear anything and it's perfect and the designs encompassing every style and age.

i want a 30's come back. legal Cocaine and marijuana, free and open sex, making deals with a handshake, barber shop shaves, iconic gangsters, top hats, pin stripe suits and old timey boxing.

A big effing ditto there. Ahhh...to be livin' in those days...minus the depression.
Schecter, I'm a tad confused. A straigh edge shave is a straigh edge shave. Why do you call it fake?
Yes, barber shops still exist.
The problem is you can't shave someone unless you have a barber's license. A cosmetology license won't do. Most "hair" places are filled with people that have a cosmetology license and not a barber's license. The virtual perfection and ease of the personel razor has made barber's shave tasks all but antiquated. It is hard to find a barber these days.
A barber that actually and regularly shaves faces is few and far between. They are still around (There's are like 12 places in OKC that have licensed barbers) but there are many more hair styling shops now that do the majority of hair care.
The Beat/Hippie Generation in reality is 1958-1960.
The lines they cut for themes are too short. I don't see what's happened in the more recent past other than a "baby boom" + hippie or beat generation and their offspring.
You can mark off 1983-1988, as well, as an anime/Harry Potter generation. 1989-1990 as a separate class its own, "echo boom." 1991-1994 as a special Charlie and the Chocolate Factory age. The rest is history.
Lol, so it's like 1940-1960 is beat/hippie generation. 1970-1990 is like their echo boom. I personally don't want to be an echo boom, however, at age 22.
The Beat/Hippie thing I'm into still is the born around 1958-1960 thing. If you meant the 1940-1970, I'm into it, but in a different way.
Their offspring in the 1991-1992 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory time acts like a Beat/Hippie offspring.
