Unbelievable Boomer Kid Activities That Would Never Happen Today
Rocking Mutton Chops

Sporting mutton chops was a way to show you were part of the “in” crowd as a Boomer kid, especially in the rebellious 1960s and 1970s. These thick sideburns, reminiscent of 19th-century styles, made a dramatic comeback thanks to rock stars and movie icons.
Mutton chops symbolized a break from the clean-cut look of previous decades, becoming a way for guys to flaunt their individuality and edginess. However, as fashion trends evolved and facial hair styles became more varied, the mutton chop craze faded. Today, you’re more likely to see a well-groomed beard or mustache than one of these quirky sideburns.
