Fads and crazes of the sixties
How were the 1960s different?
People were breaking away from the more traditional ways of the 1950s. Bright and
colourful fashion, pop music and new technology defined the era as a time of real
change.
What was one of the strangest crazes?
Ant farms probably. These started when ‘Uncle Milton’ Levine took a clear plastic
box and made it into the first ant farm. People used to buy the farm, and the ants
were posted separately.
What did people use to wear?
Men used to wear tie-dye T-shirts and women wore miniskirts. Large sunglasses
were also very popular.
What did young people use to listen to?
The era is famous as the decade when bands like The Rolling Stones became
popular. While their parents were at home, teenagers were out dancing at music
festivals.
Did people have similar technology as today?
Well, some technology we know today was first seen or created then. One of the
first digital computer games, Spacewar!, was released in 1962. People also used to
listen to their music on records, not online like today.
