Walter:
I recently watched Soylent Green with my 20 year old daughter. Her comment was, "This is too sixties for me."
Walter, I can definitely see her point.
Pretty much anything with Charlton Heston is too sixties! ..
even though it was 1973 :)
I think 1973 officially falls into the 'sixties'.. I can't remember either.

I think anything before the end of the draft and Vietnam counts as the 60's. :rofl3:
 
60's is a state of mind. Not a date.
 
:hippy:
Walter:
It's a time period, 1/1/60 - 12/31/69.
Yes and No.
Wikipedia says ..
"The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. The Sixties has also come to refer to the complex of inter-related cultural and political events which occurred in approximately that period, in Western countries, ... The term is used both nostalgically by those who participated in those events, and pejoratively by those who regard the time as a period whose harmful effects are still being felt today. "
This is basically how I would define it too. When your daughter said sixties, she may have meant the latter.

When I think of Charlton Heston (and I try not to), I think 60's.
