101 Facts About The 1960s 

When I think about the 1960s these following things: The British Invasion(The Beatles) Vietnam War, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK, and finally Woodstock.

Me: sees the title, automatic first thought is the Beatles.

Thank you for mentioning the Tlatelolco Massacre. As a Mexican, it's great to know that you guys are mentioning it as it could raise awareness on the event as it is often ignored outside of Mexico

I'm surprised, no mention of Woodstock or hippies

Welcome Motherfactors, thanks for watching! We had a liiiiiittle bit of sound trouble and Premiere not agreeing with us this week, so sorry if you can hear that! Think of it as a tribute to the sound quality of 60s music in all its crackly glory. ANYWAY, what do you think the most iconic thing about the 60s is? ✌️

Also, on the 23rd of November 1963 Doctor Who's first episode aired. Sam seemed to have forgotten to add that.

The first Bond film and the first Beatles single were released on the same date, October 5th 1962.

My parents marched with Dr. King. We had a few people who was armed only if they’re violent and they had to. They brought me with them ! I was a baby. I was smiling and happy.

*1960s:* The decade full of acid trip and hippies everywhere. *2010s:* The decade full of memes and millenials everywhere.

There was also the building of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961.

Fun fact: President John F. Kennedy's favorite novel was From Russia With Love, a James Bond novel, and later met with the James bond creator Ian Fleming, and said "I wish I had James Bond in my staff". Kennedy then got the chance to watch the movie adaptation of his favorite novel From Russia With Love in 1963 when it first came out (he somehow got to see it earlier even though the movie didn't release in the US until 1964). Rumors has it that it was Kennedy's final film before being brutally killed. Also fun fact: (This might not be a 1960's fact because it originates from the 1950's). The 1995 James Bond films Goldeneye was named after a rented house Ian Fleming was staying in when he wrote his first series of James Bond novels. ANOTHER fun James Bond fact: Originally EON was planning to film Casino Royale as the first Bond film but unfortunately Fleming had already sold those rights to another company, so they had to do Dr. No first.

Me, I'm more of a Zillennial. A combination of Millennial and Gen Z. In my personality, I feel like I was raised as the good natured child of the 1960's, the Baby Boomer era. I am sadly not considered a Baby Boomer. My parents are from the post 1960's era. Generation X. To me, they don't feel like rebellious folks at all. They feel like good natured people of the 1960's. I know Millennials aren't afraid to use their voices ect. But, This won't apply to disabled people at all. The young people have and are always considered apolitical and apathetic for political views. I find this very true. This applies to children of every single generation. Disabled people like me, have no taste in politics. I am only a part of Basic Rights. I'm no political idealist, no political mouthpiece, no minority, and no complex person. Raising my voice is good, but this badmouth about the government or criticism against anyone. Will backfire horribly, that would be a disaster. And taking it too far. Limits are sometimes needed. This something that goes against everything about me, and the young people stand for. That would be something for some young folks, and me. Feel ashamed and filled with nothing but regret. Despite me being a Zillennial. I feel almost nothing like a Millennial. I more than just a tech savvy youngster. I have memories about Counterculture, Hippies, John F. Kennedy, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and the Neoliberals as a whole. Trying to understand what were there motivation, from their time period. When I do some researching, this stays in my mind. There is a reason why I'm afraid to use my voice. I need to be careful and think slowly using my voice. I only raise my voice about social news, and internet topics when the time comes. This is what I truly am, this whole time. That's all I have to say here.
