Well... I assume the question is actually not 'were you parents cooler than me when they were my age (mid 50s)' and is instead, 'were your young parents cooler than you were when you were young?'
The first one is about the same - my parents in their mid 50s were much like I am, but my younger parents were dorks. Mom use to talk about her 'rebellious' streak when she was a kid. She'd let her socks fall around her ankles!!! Can you imagine the horror??? Socks just hanging down around her ankles! Drove her mother batty (which is why she'd do it)
