Parents Who Were Cooler Than Their Kids (35 pics)

We all love the vintage stuff today, from clothes and music and wish we had grown up in the 60s. Our parents are the ones who started all these things we admire and love now.

Recently we saw some pictures on the internet of some parents when they were young and hip, and it is pretty much safe to say that they were about a hundred times cooler than us. Maybe it was all the psychedelic rock, Mustangs, and mullets.
