(2,969 posts)And from the few '70s items my parents had that I grew up with in our house.
My sense is that it was a very disorganized decade, which had both good and bad aspects.
The way things looked was ludicrous though. I don't know what they were thinking, other than just trying shit out at random and misfiring massively. Did people think washing their hair was bourgeois or something?
Movies were very naturalistic and honest though. Which is, again, both good and bad. Sometimes the effect was that they're insufferably tedious; but sometimes they reveal very important things that aren't shown anymore.
The TV shows I've seen from the '70s are absolute garbage though. And I wouldn't be much interested in a '70s car either - some of them looked cool, but they were poorly made and had horrific gas mileage.
