1. Music Festivals
Music festivals are so common these days that you could likely find one for every week of the year. It all started in the late '50s with the Newport Jazz Fest, and it's likely that your parents attended the coolest, arguably most popular fest of all time: Woodstock.
2. Clogs
3. Vinyl
All the cool kids collect records. Why? Because even though it's a "vintage" technology, the sound it creates better represents what the sound would be like if you were sitting there listening in person. Music at its purest.
4. Skinny Ties
5. Pompadours
Originally credited to Madame de Pompadour of the 1700s, it wasn't until Elvis rocked it in the '50s that it really reached modern popularity. Nowadays, the style is making a comeback, rocked by anyone from pop stars to hipsters.
6. SLR Cameras
7. 1977 Photo Filter
For all of those that stick with digital photography, there was a photo filter created to make photos look like they came from 1977. It's not just cool to dress and be entertained like your parents, but you have to capture and filter your photos like them too.
8. Audio Programming
9. Fangirling
Everyone's had a fangirl moment...even celebrities. Thank your parents for surviving Beatlemania and making it socially acceptable to go mental when your favorite star is in your proximity.
10. Big-Eyed Sunglasses...
11. ...and Round Rim Eyeglasses
12. DIYs and Crafting
Are you really surprised? Almost everyone has their own online shop these days (or has at least thought about creating one). Sewing, crocheting, and just general crafting are making a steady climb back into the realm of cool. Even adult coloring is a thing now.
13. Miniskirts and high boots.
Two trends that emerged at the same time (in the '60s, of course) because as hemlines shortened there was a desire to still have legs fairly covered.
