: The 50s WERE the decade of when they started to be popular. The 60s they were just even more common. What made denim jeans in the mainstream with teens was the likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando looking cool wearing jeans in their movies. That's when the youth majorly took off with the jeans. In the 60s, jeans were the norm with teenagers I'd suspect.


    Marlon Brando and James Dean were seen as controversial in those days... teenagers loved them (especially the girls :) ), but most adults weren't endeared to them. Jeans did start to become mainstream throughout the late 1950's and 1960's, although they weren't considered TOTALLY mainstream for the young folk until about the late 1960's - early 1970's (I think). Even until the mid-late 1960's most girls wore skirts and such

    And what I also meant that by the mid-late 1970's on into the 1980's, it became 'normal' for anyone (adults as well as teenagers) to wear jeans.

    Well, the bottom line in all of this is the characters in the Golden Spider story are not wearing jeans! :D
