The Iconic MUSIC Scene of May 1965, is Impossible to Find Today!

If you were not around in America during any part of the 1950s-1970s then you missed the show.:eyes-purple-crying:

There isn't any music "scene" today. It's just a bunch of minimally-talented drones in a hive.

The sixties were the pinnacle of not only music but fashion as well! Great time to be alive!

I was born in 1945 and in college in the 60s. What I know is we were for more serious about music, and it was far more important to us than younger people now.

I was born in 1960 and the world changed forever. 😊

I got engaged May 1965! We celebrate 58 yrs this October!

The mid 50s to 82 was the best era to live in

Born in 1950.. it’s a memory for me not something I have to imagine.. thank goodness! It was so much fun!!!!

I was 15 and I'm so glad that I grew up during this time!

I was only 6 years old, but I would come to know and love this music. With four older siblings playing music how could I not. The 60’s and 70’s can’t be matched. ☺️🤩

I was an 18 year old then. And I often say when asked if I could be that age again, would I? Answer: Yes..if it was 1965. No, if it was today’s world. No thanks!

I was born in 1989 but absolutely love the music of 65.

I turned 17 in 1965. To be blunt, in 1965 they created music, today they manufacture noise.

Back then everyone followed the music - now chasing money is the game. Prefer the music... 😊

I was 18 in 1965. I can't put my finger on it, but it was almost like something magical was happening. It was in the air. Did I mention that the band I was in, opened for Jimi Hendrix the first time he performed in DC. I guess I did - and Yes, he was that good!

I was born in 1965...my older sisters were born in 1950 and 1953. My house was filled with great music. The oldest was a Monkees fan and the middle child was into Carole King and Mowtown. Then came me...I was into a lot of 70s music including Disco!😮 "Mr. Holland's Opus" takes place over my entire lifetime. As an adult, I became a NYC cabaret singer. I sang anything from the 1930s thru the 70s. Good times!

No other time can beat the 60's and 70's.

I was 16 in May of '65 with a fresh new driver's license. It was a great time to be a teenager.

I remember 1966 hearing Donovan Sunshine Superman as a 5 year old at the public pool. Todays music SUCKS. The Beach Boys, the Monkees, the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks will never be topped. Color TV came out in 65, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Gilligan's Island ....I loved Jeannie!

I love the nostalgic look back on music, fashion & pop culture of the 60s but what really blows my mind is how little money it took to live a middle class lifestyle compared to today. I know what my parents paid for their first house circa 1970(under 20k) & it now lists for 1 million. I was only 5 in 65 but I have a lot of memories of the decade being very optimistic about the future (at least in America which recovered from the war much faster than the UK) The 70s were very different after multiple assassinations, Vietnam, Watergate, gas crisis, rising crime rates..the 60s were a special time & deserve to be remembered.
