Their 1960s
decade refers to the years from
1960 to
1969, inclusive. The term also refers to an era more often called The Sixties, denoting the complex of inter-related cultural and political trends which occurred roughly during the years 1958-1974 in Western countries, particularly
Britain,
France, the
United States,
Italy and
West Germany. Social and political upheaval was not limited to these nations, but included such nations as
Japan,
Mexico,
Canada, and others. The term is used descriptively by historians, journalists, and others documenting our collective past; nostalgically by those who participated in the counter-culture and social revolution; and pejoratively by those who perceive the era as one of irresponsible excess. The decade was also labeled the
Swinging Sixties because of the libertine attitudes that emerged during this decade. Rampant drug use has become a
synecdoche for the counter-culture of the era, as exemplified by
Jefferson Airplane co-founder
Paul Kantner: "If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there."
