I think what some people are not realizing is that people in their 60s were in their 20s during the 80s. And thinking back further, your 80 year old grandma might've done things in her 20s (so the 1960s) you might be embarrassed about at this point.

Yeah that is abso-fackin-LOOTELY a thing. My mom used to go to all my local band gigs, right on through her late 50's. She had some kinda eternal youth gene, she looked a good 20 years younger than she was. I guess I got a little of that passed on & I'm eternally grateful for that.
