    this is a blast from the past. It's funny how for folks who didn't live through it "web browsers" and "parachute pants" are contemporaneous, whereas having been there, parachute pants were more 1985 and browsers were 1994 (high school vs post-college, for me - different worlds!)https://twitter.com/_TamaraWinter/status/1060976661330620417 …

    Today is my parents’ 27th anniversary! When they married the Cowboys were becoming America’s team™️, the Soviet Union was dissolving, Ross Perot was the populist threat to the establishment, web browsers were just being introduced, and inexplicably, parachute pants were a Thing.

        The phrase America's Team was coined in 1979. That year "America's Team" lost to the Steelers in Super Bowl XIII. Their self-proclaimed title didn't help them on that day....

        I have students whose perspective of the Challenger and 9/11 is "contemporaneous". (That's elementary school vs. college for me). They're starting college next year.

        I'm sure I'm guilty of this too I'd have to do some work to order Korean War, Sputnik, Berlin Airlift, Marilyn Monroe's dress blowing around, Frank Sinatra stepping out of the helicopter, and Beatlemania

        Parachute pants were a thing until ~7th grade for me, so early 90s in my area.

        Two different interpretations of "parachute pants". The early '90s models were hugely baggy, also known as "Hammer pants". The early '80s version were derived from flight suits, with lots of zippered pockets. And were often worn delightfully tight.pic.twitter.com/onqZlYrYml

        Them young whippersnappers are just so cute, with their wide-eyed amusement and anachronistic references.

        And the Cowboys as America's Team was more of a 1970s (elementary school!) thing
