In the 60s and 70s, men began wearing their hair lonlongger as a way of rebelling against society, tradition, and rigid gender roles. They listened to rock music and had sex outside of marriage. (Not that they didn't before, but it wasn't socially acceptable) young people began drinking, doing drugs, having sex, and protesting. Those people (the baby boomers) grew to be young adults, the ad got married, got jobs, and had kids, just like they were expected to. Just like their parents did. Except they had already experienced a different sort of life.

changes, so what was acceptable when life was slower may not be practical

now.
