Then you remember hot pants!

Indeed I do. And fortunately hot pants and hip-huggers were in style when I was still in shape to be able to wear them. ;-)

The kids today probably don't have any idea that their "fashions", the hip-huggers and platform shoes, are nothing more than a rehash of what their grandmother was wearing in her day. Each generation wants to believe that they are on the cutting edge with their music and fashions. LOL.

My son told me once that since he wasn't born until the very end of that decade, he and many of his friends felt gypped out of getting to experience the 60's. I suppose there is some kind of allure; the music, the styles, the turbulent atmosphere of war protests, the psychedelic culture of that time period, that the preceeding generations feel they missed. To those of us who lived through it, it was just our "life".

Oops, I meant the "following" generations. :-)
