Actually, I think you may be mixing your metaphors.  The poodle skirts 
were much earlier...in the '50's....I never had one because my mother 
made all of my clothes and wouldn't let me follow fads ("If all of your 
friends were to jump off of a cliff, would you follow?").  The tie-dyed 
shirts and platform shoes came later...mostly in the 60's.  By then I 
could determine my own fashion, so owned both!!

Yes, that was my exact intention.  Just as tuna noodle pizza might seem "period" to future re-enactors of the mid-twentieth century, so poodle skirts and tie-dye might seem appropriate period garb to them.
