Miss the 70'😢s we had fun,walked every where,it was no sets,house parties,sit outside all night, sleep with your door open,it was young innocence, but safe neighbors watched over your children in, I really miss those days
There was also the war in Viet Nam. Dozens of leftist groups like the Weather Underground and the Red Army Faction routinely terrorized American and European cities with bombings, kidnappings and robberies. There were airline hijackings and, as a kid, I remember seeing airport security in Europe armed with fully automatic weapons. Who can forget the deadly hostage crisis at the '72 Olympics in Munich? How about Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland in the same year, escalating "The Troubles" to new heights (or lows)? If you were old enough to be watching the news, there was insanely violent sh!t going down all the time. I agree that it was overall a much simpler time to grow up and I don't dispute your description of your particular neighborhood. But let's not kid ourselves. The 70s was also a very violent and cynical decade.
I was born in '65 and I have always felt the '70s had a magical feeling that I've never been able to recapture. I know the '70s was also Vietnam, Watergate and the Energy Crisis but as a kid those things weren't a part of my world.
Grocery items had price stickers on every can or box. I used to take the time to put the prices upwards when I unloaded my cart. Produce was weighed in the produce section by a clerk who stuck a price label on just like they do in a butcher section.
I liked the shorts back then..I think they looked better than the ones everybody wears now down to the knees..I bought a Brand New Pinto in 1976 .I drove it for 14 years until somebody ran into me..I didn't get blown up..Only thing I didn't like about it was the heater didn't put out much heat..Wish I could go back to those days..The World is crazy nowadays. 👍👍
I was in elementary school when they introduced the metric system. We were all sweating bullets over learning the new weghts and measures. Luckily it went away as fast as it appeared.
Jamel this is what we were wearing back in the seventies we had no problem with wearing shorts shorts every body men's and women where wearing them my friend you would like being a teenager back in the seventies we had great music and styles
70ss was the best! Music was an important part of your life! No internet, so concerts were highly anticipated and inexpensive! I saw Grand Funk, Black Oak Arkansas, Chicago, Cream, Doobie Bros, Allman Bros and many more! I think what made music great in 70s was the explosion of genre’s fro ROCKNROLL to folk rock, hard rock, funk, singer-songwriter, southern rock, etc….. Great time to be a teen🤪😎
There were grocery stores by my grandparents that had customers write down the prices on the items but mostly they had they had to price every item with a price tag gun, today instead of prices it is usually a date code
Any older diesel car will run on vegetable oil. The thing that really screwed Ford with the Pinto is that someone unearthed a memo between Ford accountants and engineers where they had calculated the cost of a few bucks to relocate the fuel tank VS paying out settlements to people injured or killed in fires, and they decided it was cheaper to leave the car as it was and pay the settlements.
I seem to recall something about a fix that involved no more expense that adding a piece of plastic at some vulnerable point. And that was "too expensive".
And I was born in 1960 and 64 years old I lived through the 60s 70s and 80s and was a totally different time in this world much safer than have to worry about getting kidnapped you can walk wherever you wanted everybody in the neighborhood took care of everybody else and you actually had people that knew everybody on the block back then it was true socializing not as fake as social media
One of my memories from the 70's is I was in a Pershing Missile Unit stationed in Germany during the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack..We were called out on alert.loaded up the equipment and convoed down the autoban towards Munich.. After about 30 minutes of travel we pulled off to the side of the autoban for about 7 hours then uturned and headed back to base.
My early childhood was in the 70s (began my teens in 1980), and it was such a magical time to be a kid. Of course, I didn't have all the worries my parents did, so that helped. ETA: Those short denim shorts look like they would chafe. I wore the kind with the white piping. Wait. I thought HBO became a thing in the early 80s along with Cinemax. Guess I was wrong.
Yea...ANY motor from that era will run on vegetable oil. Watched a show about survival that showed how to go to restaurants grease dumpsters to get the oil in case of armageddon-type circumstances....
Jamel… “The shorts” (at the start) reminded me of the gag Robin Williams once said “men wearing pants so tight you could tell what religion they are” 😂😂😂. Once you crossed over into “painful testicle separation” level & virtually needed the jaws of life to get them off… Your shorts were WAAAAAY too tight 😵😵😵
Never had shag carpet, Never saw american family first time hearing about it, no one cared about jaws 2 we did not watch it, Asteroids was before space invaders and we played it all the time, glad to say I never fell for exercise gear fads and never bought any to this day,
Country music didn't like a West Coast California artists winning the award if I'm not mistaken the next year Australian Olivia Newton-John won the award the next year
It's funny how people see things differently yes men in blue jean cut short look feminine and silly but men that wear baggy hip hop shorts that drop below their knees looks like they're wearing dresses
I was born in 1970, and let me tell you, the 1970s were a really, really weird decade. The first half was a fashion wasteland--the clothing was a possible (or probable) war crime. The second half was cocaine-fueled corporate craziness. So glad I was a teen in the 1980s instead.
I was a teen in the 70s and you really don't know what you're talking about. But I'm being nice. Because could i can say a lot of bad things about the 80s And the music of the 70s Are probably the most covered by many bands of today and the number of great bands that were FORMED in the 70s ARE SO MANY GREAT BANDS, The Eagles 1970 Queen 1971Abba 1970 Foreigner 1974 Van Halen 1975 Boston 1976. Kansas1976. ACDC, Tom Petty 1975, Bto1972.The Cars 1978 ,2Elo 1974 Paul McCartney and wings 1975. Kiss 1974, Journey 1976, White Snake 1978. Blondie 1977 Hall N Oats Ambrosia, and there were so many other bands to mention, SO the 70s were VERY GOOD FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
THERE WAS A LOT OF CRIME IN THE 80s AS WELL And there was waaaay more cocaine in the 80s and all the hair bands in the 80s were very overrated and sounded the same im 63 so i was in my 20s in the 80s
I knew about all of these EXCEPT the color purple being associate with Donny Osmond. I had never heard that before. Then again, I was never a fan of the Osmonds.
Born in’66 Growing up in the 70’s was awesome…especially the music!!!
lol. No. Before UPC’s , cashiers knew item prices!!! Trip huh?!

The 70s were the best for all ages on sooooooooo many different levels
I was born in 56....The 70's ROCKED!❤
80's were ok for being an adult but born in 63 the 70's are the best.
Don't forget about the mid 1950` YEARS
💯💯💯💯💯... EXACTLY!! 12/63 here
I was born in '65 and I have always felt the '70s had a magical feeling that I've never been able to recapture. I know the '70s was also Vietnam, Watergate and the Energy Crisis but as a kid those things weren't a part of my world.
‘64. The 70’s were the best.
Born in 64 this was my time Best time ever
Born in "65, i loved the 70's. Great time to be a kid. Didn't know til later sucked for adults under Jimmy Carter. But best times of my life
Before bar codes grocery stores just entered the price in the cash register. It didn’t keep track of what was sold, just how much it costs.
Yeah n the cashier's actually had to know how to add n subtract to give correct change...Try THAT now...SMH as I 😆 lol
I can still do it!
Grocery items had price stickers on every can or box. I used to take the time to put the prices upwards when I unloaded my cart. Produce was weighed in the produce section by a clerk who stuck a price label on just like they do in a butcher section.
When I was little, I had the Donny and Marie dolls with their whole performance stage set. His doll came with a pair of purple socks. Lol!
Happy memories of my childhood!
My friends who were cashiers without UPCs, they had to memorize all of their prices and product locations
I liked the shorts back then..I think they looked better than the ones everybody wears now down to the knees..I bought a Brand New Pinto in 1976 .I drove it for 14 years until somebody ran into me..I didn't get blown up..Only thing I didn't like about it was the heater didn't put out much heat..Wish I could go back to those days..The World is crazy nowadays. 👍👍

I was aged 5-15 in the 70s! Definitely my decade!😊
Disneyland in Anaheim California opened in 1955. Disney World opened in Florida in 1971
I loved the late 50s and 60s too.
There were grocery stores by my grandparents that had customers write down the prices on the items but mostly they had they had to price every item with a price tag gun, today instead of prices it is usually a date code

We could drink beer at 18 for a brief shining time.
I'm from 1973 but I remember some of this 👍😀
And I was born in 1960 and 64 years old I lived through the 60s 70s and 80s and was a totally different time in this world much safer than have to worry about getting kidnapped you can walk wherever you wanted everybody in the neighborhood took care of everybody else and you actually had people that knew everybody on the block back then it was true socializing not as fake as social media
I remember we had a Ford Pinto, my dad would let me sit on his lap and drive!!
If I could of seen beyond the 70s I would have taken more advantage growing up then.
o yaaah

Jamel i was born in 1960 So im a huge 70s fan all the way

Wait. I thought HBO became a thing in the early 80s along with Cinemax. Guess I was wrong.
The clerks had to type in the cost of each item being bought.
Can you imagine that now? People would be switching price tags!
Yea...ANY motor from that era will run on vegetable oil. Watched a show about survival that showed how to go to restaurants grease dumpsters to get the oil in case of armageddon-type circumstances....
That’s why some people can walk around in body paint
I was 10 in 1970 saw I remember all of it.
It was bio-gas (a mix of. Gasoline and USED vegetable oil).
I bought a brand new Plymouth Duster in 1975 for 3,400 dollars.
My neighbor used vegetable oil that was used in restaurants to run his car. He would collect it from different restaurants.
Hi Jamel, I grew up in the 1960s but I'm sure I will remember?
Could you do one on the blk experience in the 70's
lol. No. Before UPC’s , cashiers knew item prices!!! Trip huh?!
Was in my teens only dislikes disco
Anytime before Reagan in America

Can I send you a music video request?
5:37 Juicy Fruit is chewing gum, not bubble gum. There's a difference.
Never had shag carpet, Never saw american family first time hearing about it, no one cared about jaws 2 we did not watch it, Asteroids was before space invaders and we played it all the time, glad to say I never fell for exercise gear fads and never bought any to this day,
American Family only lasted 12 episodes in early 1973
Country music didn't like a West Coast California artists winning the award if I'm not mistaken the next year Australian Olivia Newton-John won the award the next year
Sorry why are you posting this? You showed this already 😊

@@theodoreritola7641 I'm not talking about the music. I'm talking about fashion and what was on television.
you must have been very young in 1981 thats when AIDS STARTED
THERE WAS A LOT OF CRIME IN THE 80s AS WELL And there was waaaay more cocaine in the 80s and all the hair bands in the 80s were very overrated and sounded the same im 63 so i was in my 20s in the 80s

Rock music was everything in the 70s not John Denver or Donny Osmond. A small percentage of people listened to them. It was mostly rock music.
