I graduated in 76. It was a great time! It was a society of people and not technology. Walking down the street, people looked at each other, not their cell phones!
Wow, I actually got to see Star Wars right there at the Chinese Theater, well, back then that was the name, 1978 I think it was, what a day, and yeah that opening scene with that huge destroyer is still very much alive in me ❤👍😁🛸
@@carolanndenton5933 On Halloween night or night before I watch The Original 1978 Halloween and the original 1950"s " The Thing ". The 1950s thing was what was showing on the TV at young Tommy Doyle's house while Laurie Strode was baby sitting him and the little girl (actually actress Kim Richards little sister)
@@SteveStevens-sp7ly Maybe so, but the worst of the '70s was better than today's best. And there's nothing today that can compare to '70s progressive rock.
Yeah, there were a lot of other things this video got wrong that you would only know about if you lived in the 70's like I did. The word Groovy was a 60's thing that disappeared by about 1973.
Hip huggers actually rode on the hip, not the waist. If the belly button wasn't at least 3 inches above the top band of the belt, they weren't hip-huggers.
I saw Duel when it was first presented on TV. The local tv station had technical issues at the most exciting moment of the show. They preempted the next program to show the last ten minutes of the movie.
I used to answer the people who would say, "It's NOT about the SIZE of the boat, it's about the motion of the ocean," with, "Exactly right, but the BIGGER the boat, the BETTER the motion!"
LESS TV CHANNELS: By the 1970s the higher frequency channels were coming into service. Although there were 3 "main" networks there were quickly new channels emerging on the higher frequencies. For example in my Boston suburbs in the 70s channels 27, 38, 56 and 68 popped up. Plus....late at night if you had a TV antenna on your roof or in your attic you could find about 4 more in the suburban Boston area like channel 9, 10, 12. They came in a little fuzzy but still quite watchable. RANDOM FACT: If you had a tunable receive dial on the higher frequencies (as opposed to a click in place dial like on channels 1 through13) if you carefully tuned back and fourth just a hair at a time up around 68 you could hear cell phones/car phone in the dawn of the cell phone era.
Even though I was a little kid in the 60s, it seemed like a great decade. The Beatles, muscle cars, and the space race. The 70s were wierd, but normal people didn't dress as shown here. My friends and I wore plain jeans, but bell bottoms. By 1975 I owned a 60s muscle car.
Man, I was 10 in 1970. Living on a Naval Air Base. My teen years were neat. Music became more important than TV. I'd be in my room listening to my records and the radio. And, going to the movies on base. I'd walk 1/2 mile to Admin side, in the dark, by myself and be home around 9.00pm. Never saw nobody else. Or, I'd go to the Youth Center and hang out. Go to the bowling alley and get a burger and fries. Go to the gym. My buddy(?) and I, we'd rent a bow and arrows and shoot arrows into the sky....IN THE FOG! Lol. Or do some 5 finger discount at the toy shop, or store. Then I got to high school. Led Zep, KISS, Elton, ELO. Disco was coming of age. A girlfriend, Cross Country, soccer, track. A long time ago.
What won't they understand? Times were different. The victrola wasn't from my time but I understood that it was how people listened to music. I understood things changed and processed. On another note. The 70's and 80's, 90's and early 2000's were good times. We moved around more.
@@mcmlxii4419 I'll take the '60s and '70s. The '80s weren't a great decade for music, or for the arts in general IMHO. The decade was characterized, for me anyway, by a bizarre cheesiness that can't be described. You had to experience it. And then, of course, there was Ronald Reagan...

I was there. Some of the things you said about the 70s weren't very nice. Now days is so many times worse. And don't get me started on song lyrics of today. Everybody didn't go to key parties only swingers.
This is like a propoganda video about the seventies, a bit creepy.... Normal life wasn't like that, some stuff was there, some extreme people did those things or sometimes in the weekends, mostly hard working and doing day to day stuff, kids playing outside (or fighting) and going to school.

You buy a set of encyclopedias and a year later some information would be out of date. Some encyclopedias companies would send a single encyclopedia book with updated information. As for changing tv channels, sometimes the knob would break off I would have to use a pair of pliers. Talk about the 70s makes me feel old since I grew up in the 70s. I graduated high school in 1975. Im now 67.Next year will be 50 years since I graduated.
I suspect this video's creators came from a small cross-section of society. I was skeptical of the Fashion section but the Lyric of Songs chapter ended my viewing. I do NOT think the words "Sometimes when we touch" are offensive in 2024. This implies there are no cringe-worthy lyrics today.
Sorry for the very late reply. Thanks for your comment. I didn't mean to offend your memories. I remember as a kid hearing that song over and over again on those "best of the 70s" infomercials.

it was very difficult to find any photos with "hip hugger" jeans. I had to settle for low rise jeans instead

My parents graduated in 76, so my kid's grandpa still had long hair when they came around 30 years after he graduated
Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the late reply. So lucky to still have hair!
I was 2 in 1970 and throughout that decade i totally miss it. School was fun. Life was fun.
Keep those wonderful memories alive!
First comment. I saw Star Wars in theaters 13 times in the 70's. It was awesome.
One of those once in a lifetime experiences...glad you got to experience it!
Close encounters was another great one.
must have been a rich kid. I had to beg to see it once.

EXPLICIT LYRICS IN SONGS: Any Rap song is far more lude and not only that violence against women.
