It was grungier in the late 60s... 70s was a period of cleaning up... then disco happened.

The 70s had some of the best music ever.  You're just ignoring it by focusing on disco.  Disco was pop for the 70s and pop always sucks.  
The 70s also had some of the coolest muscle cars ever.  You're also ignoring them.
But yes, the fashions sucked.

Horrible music? Horrible cars? I don’t think this is a topic we can discuss without coming to blows.

Late 60s were peak muscle.

70s were emission-choked shit.

No, the LATE 70s were emission-choked.  You're ignoring the early 70s cars.

No social media in those days, so you only experienced what was in your immediate surroundings.  And guns were CHEAP.

The hippies from the 70's are the politicians ruining shit now. It's funny that their mantra went from "power to the people" to "the government knows best!"

the drugs where quaaludes, booze and coke. 60s drugs were more interesting.

70s was a sucky decade. rolled out of rock into disco (one drummer for all tracks), polyester, heavy smog downed cars, herpes.

70s was the most boring, stupid decade of my life. only the covid-trump-craziness is worse and i dont expect it to last more than 2 or 3 years.

Horrible angry bush, like the kind that surrounds both front AND back. There is no good reason for that. I did the research, just trust me. Gross.

Lots of action in the 70s. No fear of aids. Lots of great bands like Lead Zep, Stones, Deep Purple. Lotta great guitar players. Ozzy was hot, etc. Making lots of $$ and having fun. Great cars then. 71, still had hot Mopars, Fords, GTOs, 442s, you name it. A great time. Great memories. None of this political correct shit. Not a period of rioting and mass killings.

Polyester is the most horrible choice for clothing.  EVER!

Yes. They were dirty and gross. America was shitty and ashamed. Then 1980 happened with the Miracle on Ice and Reagan, and things started getting better.

If I could take my current self (mid 40's, single, plenty of $ (even inflation adjusted) to any era it would probably be the mid '70s...

Just enough technology, still mostly analog, no AIDS, tons of drugs, I like the colors and styles of the era, the cars I like ('60s and older) are cheap and plentiful, I really can't think of anything I like/need from 2021 that I'd miss in 1974...

The 80s had much worse cars, better music (on average...the 70s had some of the best songs ever, but the 80s music was better in aggregate) and a much better national character.
However, 80s fashions sucked, too.

Wrong on the music kiddo.

If you were able to locate a turntable, you could spend days listening to some of the most iconic rock/blues/folk I have in my collection.


Stone's
CSN&Y
Traffic
etc.

My son marvels at the music we listened to.
