Speaking as someone who was six years old in 1976, the only color I remember from the ‘70s is RedWhiteandBlue!
Truly, we always had great Independence Day celebrations with a fair and fireworks and 1976 was even better. We painted all the fire hydrants on the street to look like Uncle Sam and the kids decorated their bikes with red, white, and blue streamers and we had a parade. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Locate a turntable? Amazon can deliver one within 2 days, or I could just YouTube those bands. |

As youngest during that time, I remember it being a dark time. Parents had to/needed work. Music was mostly 60s music.
Really not a good time |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The broads looked pretty good. Lots of flat asses and big bush though. Cars sucked Music was amazing OP has issues Temper that with the fact that cool 60s and 50s car were dirt fucking cheap and everywhere. And though they weren't as fast as todays cars....... NASCAR still had cars that resembled factory offerings.  Dirt track cars were awesome, none of this slab sided sheetmetal shop shit of today.  Attached FileNHRA was still awesome.  Another edit; And pickup trucks were every bit as barebones and basic as half of Arfcom fantasizes about....

I was a teenager during the 70s so that may color my perceptions but yes the decade largely sucked.
Early 70s music was great. Technology sucked. Think 8-tracks and cassettes. Most cars also sucked and disco definitely sucked donkey dick. Whoever said people weren't as fat is spot on. Pussy was really hairy also. Yuk! I did like bell bottom pants and hot pants on women. Funny the things one remembers. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was born at the end of the decade, but every time I see or read anything about the decade, it seems like a very grimy time. The griminess you saw in recorded memory was mostly from the media's preoccupation with the leftist hippie movement. The term "dirty hippie" was legit. Thing is most young people were not full blown hippies. I personally only knew a few. One female cousin, but she was just a pothead hippie. Sort of the same way the 1950s are popularly "remembered". Most young men were not "greasers" like The Fonz. My folks came of age in the 50s. Dad was a "biker", but he usually had on nice clothes when he rode his Harley or Indian. Did have a pic of him sitting on a bike wearing a white blazer, slacks and polished shoes. Look at the aftermath photos of Woodstock. Odd thing there, I never saw those photos until the internet became popular. That Summer of Love event trashed to place. |

late 70's/early 80's were awesome, I remember being 8-10 years old, when my aunt would come home from college and we would go hotrodding in her mustang on the drag and pulling into sonic blasting LZ at 11.
I also had sitters who were the hottest girls in High School who took me anywhere I needed to go. no real rules. parents didn't worry. crazy times. |

1976/1986 Man I wish I could loop those years and live them over. So far those were the best years of my life.
Living single, partying all the time, running and gunning and getting paid for it. All the women that didn't seem to have issues at the time that just wanted to have fun. No real bills. No commitments. Those were great days. |

In the 70s if you liked cars from the 60s they were everywhere and a LOT of them fairly cheap since they guzzled gas. The used car lot down the street in every town would look like a Barret Jackson auction now.

I was born in 70 so my perspective is that of a kid during that time.
The one thing that really stands out in my memory, that people don’t understand today, is the amount of trash that was everywhere. Beside the roads, in the parks, everywhere. Littering was just a thing you did. When someone was done with a fast food bag, they’d just pitch it out the car window. Glass bottles broken everywhere, pop tops that would cut your foot open. It was like that everywhere. In some ways it’s a lot cleaner these days. But in other ways it’s not. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Also wasn't the crime rate like double what it is now? Maybe in the northern cities but not in TX. It was common to not lock the house or cars at night. The 70s were a lot of fun. We had great cars, great music and tube socks with stripes. The entire BMX thing was born then too and I hit it perfect. |
