didn’t see many hippies with martinis and old-fashioneds.

didn't see ANY hippies or hip-wannabees. Disco gen rejected the hippie gen, which was lamented in liberal college papers at the time.

not martinis >> but screwdrivers, Sinapore Slings, pina coladas, gin&tonics, Sloe Gin Fizzes, & Daquiries.

yes the punk/crak bands killed disco WITH the help of Urban Cowboy . Jeans came back with a vengence and the forever disappearance of under $20 jeans became the norm.

Yay! This is something never brought up, and I thank you.

It’s 1 of the big problems with putting all those people under “Baby Boomer” umbrella - they were totally different.

I hate hippies and the ‘60s culture (which to this day they still can’t stop patting themselves on the back). Personally I see the ‘60s as the real fashion disasters, not to mention disaster in just about everything else. And I DO mean everything.
