30 Parents Who Were Cooler Than Their Kids

Whether we like it or not, the majority of us will become our parents one way or another - either from something as small as the way they laugh or perhaps something as profound as the same career path. Many of us crumble at the notion that we could share similarities with our less hip parents - but for the children of the parents in these photographs, the levels of cool exuding from their older generation are a thing they can only hope to aspire to.


Here is a photo list of times children came across old pictures of their parents only to find out their parents were cooler than them. So scroll down to check out some photo album treasures and upvote your favs. It might inspire you to ask your parents to show you what they were like when they were young!


Generational differences - sometimes it's challenging to get an explanation of what the previous generations were thinking other than "It was a different time." Progress is good but what are some things older people may miss about their youth? First, we have the style. There's a reason we love shopping at vintage stores - as compared with the some of the looks of today our parents had some pretty cool looks. Yet, when did Americans decide to trade in their tailored slacks for leggings? Casual fashion went through several milestones to reach where it is today yet in 1966 James Laver, a renowned historian of dress, told a group of fashion industry executives, “Clothes of the sexes are beginning to overlap and coincide.”


Millennials might think they're the most connected generation with all of the various media platforms, but that's caused less trust and isolation among those young people. According to a survey, 56 percent of those aged 22 to 37 would trust an ordinary person in the street, to tell the truth, compared to 77 percent of baby boomers." Levels of social trust have been argued to be a strong predictor of national economic growth, levels of life satisfaction and suicide rates," it says.


We all have our vices - but perhaps the younger generation has healthier ones. With anti-smoking campaigns like 'truth' smoking is not as widely accepted and not depicted in the 50's Mad Men style way. However, our parents grew up in a different time; for instance, it wasn't until the 1990s that smoking on airplanes was entirely banned.


Hipsters might think that they're a step ahead of the rest with their beards and man buns - yet just as it is with their vintage fashion sense, they have to pay their respects to the pioneers of long hair fashion. Long locks on both men and women became a trendy look in the '60s and '70s, Before that you would've been side-eyed for your unruly mane.
