The term “60s” is a popular slang with varied meanings within the rap community and urban culture.

Firstly, the 60s or sixties may refer to the period of counterculture in which free sex and drugs were rampant. It was a decade marked by rock and roll, hippie culture, and rebellion. One might use it by:
