“There were people in our time”: retrophotos of parents who are cooler than their children

A lot of people are now obsessed with vintage, from clothes to music. And anyway, who wouldn't want to live in the 60s? However, we often forget that our parents grew up at the time where we now want to be.

Internet users share photos of their parents when they were young and carefree. And it's safe to say that they were much cooler than us. Perhaps the reason for this, as one of the users said, is that "they grew up on the street and did not know about memes."
