Mom and dad jeans run rampant these days, giving our all of our parents a bad name, but there was definitely a time when your parents were cooler than you. Remember your awkward elementary school portrait where you couldn't quite rock that mullet and acid wash? While you were still getting your braces put on, your parents were looking GOOD. Seriously! Your parents were awesome and here's the newest in the line of fantastic user-submitted sites to prove it.


Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, and super awesome.

If your parents were this awesome (and they totally were) then send those shots over to My Parents Were Awesome and share them with the world!





[Ed. Note: In respect for full disclosure, we must admit that one of our Urlbots had something to do with the creation of this awesome site. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you take a look at the first photo in our collection. The resemblance is uncanny.]
