Born in 71 and remember leaving the house on my bike, without a phone, and being gone all day riding around town with my friends. Just had to be home before the street lights came on. It was the best time!
Lol I was born in 1970, I remember that, my Dad was strict about being in before the street lights and saying hello to the elderly neighbors 😂 good times
I was born in late '91 but I kinda relate lol, I had my first phone at 11 in 2003 but I was one of the very few kids to have a cell phone.
I used to ride my bike to the gas station to buy smokes for my dad when I was 8 or 9. They didnt even think twice, just sold me the cigarettes lol.
T P lol I got my first cell phone in ‘94 it looked like a brick 🧱
Steady yeah I remember that All you needed was a note 😂😂😂
It would be awesome to go back to the 70s with the income of today.
Heck yeah. I might even be able to afford to buy a house then! Lol
Now where is that Delorean?
Gary Vallone Oh my yes!!
Ur old
I'd rather have the income of the 70's where I can afford a house without PHD or 10 years as a master tradesman.
I was a teenager in the 70s I still miss it everyday we had morals and ambition then and the music couldnt get any better
Same
Ok boomer
But somehow music has gotten bad
@@dogedude3859 stfu zoomer
Sounds too fun
I'm 19 and heavily obsessed with the 1970s so this is a big help
I Love Roger Meddows Taylor
i love roger too
I wanna go back and meet freddie bc why not :>
My advice would be to make friends with people who grew up then.
Watch Dazed and Confused if youre interested in high school life in the 1970s
Katie Jevons me too
Man, whenever I watch these nostalgia videos I feel like I’m Forrest Gump. We had every decor that is pictured, every newfangled invention, every toy, all the music, every fad when it came out. It’s like my entire life is a timeline on these videos. I can’t believe what a picture perfect upbringing it was and I didn’t miss a thing.
I wish kids today could experience what it was like. Strong sense of family and community and music and society. A real communal feel, not distant and removed and isolated like we are today.
I am born in the 2000s and wish that too. Although the others aren’t like that :/
Your parents must have had some $$.
@@denaaryeh9503 2008 here and I totally agree.
one of my best memories I going to the Illinois state Fair. in one area there was Elton John performance that was a packed house and I could only see the concert from the open doorway of the theater and at another part of the park was an open venue with bleacher seats featuring Donnie and Marie with plenty of empty seats in-between people. both concert were free.
I also wish I could experience being in the 70s, 80s and 90’s
If I could choose to go back in time I would choose the 70's hands down.
Me too... the 1870s
I was gonna say I'd like to go back to the 60s first, then I realized I coulda been drafted!
@@vincenthighwind7622 Not if you were born in the 60s.40s and 50s,you would have had a high chance for Vietnam. You would have been a young adult,late teen.
Nope I’ll go to the 90s! That’s the best decade.
@@hammeringhankaaron7468 I second that
My mom was a non working mom in the 70s and I am glad she was . She did do volunteer work once in awhile .
We had togetherness . I can't imagine being a latch key kid , as they used to call it .Coming home to an empty house
When you get a lot older , and your parent's time grows short on this earth , you cherish the time you spent with them growing up
Me too my mama was always there for us I can't imagine my mama working outside the home;daddy worked and we had everything we needed went to Florida every 2 years on vacation ;I wouldn't trade my 70s childhood for nothing;now both daddy and mamma have passed so yes I cherish my memories
I was a latch key kid. It was awesome! I feel sorry for kids whose parents were around all the goddamn time lol.
@@angrykermit3192 yes as I had a working mother I was sooooo appreciative of her time with us. It was cherished and respected not abused. My peers who had stay at home mums, especially the females were disgusted by their mothers especially if they had no tertiary education, they were so disappointed in them and yet they were unable to function without them. It bred emotionally needy children who never ever learned independence. We should never celebrate subjugated and abused stay at home mums.
The reason kids are so messed up nowadays is because they’re raised by the media instead of their parents. Independence can also lead to degeneracy if the right social structure is not provided.
My Dad was a latch key kid in the 1920s! You and I were blessed with Moms that were home for sure! My Dad grew up to be responsible( even if he did get into mischief with his friends once in a while!) He was a great Dad,miss him!
I always thought that the 1970s should really have come after the 1980s, when everything went back to preppy, conservative style and design. The 70s were like living on mars. Loved it!!!!
LB M I always thought 80s was liberal era and the 70s were conservative.
Publius Maximus Manlius It’s the other way around. Reagan was the President and his conservatism defined that decade
Ranel Gallardo The seventies was the last of the progressive modern era. We’re more advanced technology wise today but somehow were less modern.
Publius Maximus Manlius it was the opposite , the 70s was liberal , sex drugs and rock and roll and 80s was back to conservatism
Fashion-wise the 1970s is considered a mistake.
Going on a trip back in time, who’s with me?!
Me
Racsism
Hell yeah count me in :)
Me
Already there (and then)...come join me :)
The thing is, people had to get together back then, they didn’t have social media. Social media was going to the mall and arcade, then to Burger Chef or Shakeys pizza. Simpler times and way more satisfying to me anyway.
Susan Ryan 😂
I don't remember going to Burger Chef. In southwest Fort Worth, Texas, we had a Mr. Quick burger stand for many years. And a few yards away, was our Dairy Queen. Those are where we went for burgers, fries, and shakes.
Yep and roller skating every Friday night
I was born in 1997 and i still wish even more so today I was in the 70 and 80's
omg shut up ur literally watching this on youtube
I grew up in 70s and 80s it was GREAT time i miss it dearly and my family
Having been born in the 1940's, I was already an adult during the 1970's. I was impressed with the facts as presented on this video. It even touched on a major concern of the period, inflation. The cost of everything just about doubled during that one decade. I was lucky because my income increased in the same proportion. I bought my first house, a brand new 3 bedroom/2bath ranch style, 1200 square feet for $33,000 in 1974...Sold it in 1980 for $58,000.
Don Neary and how old are you
BulletTron That’s not a very nice thing to ask.
Cerberuski why?? That’s perfectly fine to ask.
@@bullettron6375 He's in his 70s by now.
33 thousand dollars in 1974 is the same as 180 thousand dollars today
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s graduating in 1982 and I remember every single thing this video showed. While looking at the then fashions and some of those horrible kitchens like our avocado green kitchen 🤢 it really was a fantastic time in America and we sure did have the best block buster movies back then, in fact , it seemed like we were going to a block buster every few months. We did not have anything like today but we were much closer as a family. I miss those nightly dinners , going up town for a CMP ice cream or just to get a glass bottle coke out of the Coca-Cola chest at the gas station and the the evening block buster movies every night at the movies on NBC ABC and CBS, and of course as corny as it sounds, the Waltons. And then the 80s brought a whole new decade for us to also enjoy. My very first job was at McDonald’s at the mall ( yes the 80s was the explosion of malls) and then I went to the “gap”. We were lucky to have lived during the last best decades in America . I am sickened to see what has come to our county and the new generation... I don’t recognize America anymore
I chuckle at TV, we had 3 or 4 channels. Something to watch on each channel. Now you can get 500 channels & there us nothing to watch. My town was to small for a Blockbusters, but we did have privately owned stores.
I really miss the NBC, ABC and CBS weekly movies. Nobody makes TV movies anymore. All the stations just make reality shows and really bad sit-coms. Even the weekend kids cartoons (before they were cancelled by educators) were great compared to todays offerings.
I was born in 1965, and grew up in the 70s & 80s. I would go back if I could.
I’m the same age, I agree 100%
Microwaves were very expensive when they were first introduced, and were not widely available until the early 80s.
False...microwaves were already available in the 70s..I know??? I was THERE purchased my first microwave from Montgomery wards in the mid 70s like 76 or 77.
I agree. We didn't have a microwave until probably around 1984. I don't recall knowing anyone in the 70's that had a microwave oven.
@@bqkmg2037 Nobody said they weren't available. They were however, extraordinarily expensive in relation to what wages the average person brought home. By the early 80's, I was making enough to comfortably purchase one.
@@bqkmg2037 Yes, microwaves were available, but they were very expensive and not many had them. You were lucky! Lol! Do you remember how much it cost?
we were solidly middle class, as were all my friends (some upper) and I never saw a microwave in a home until around the time we got one, like '81 or '82. Similar to VHS and Beta, they had them in the 70s, but there were not in common use until the early 80s. People can get fooled looking back to what the upper class had or what was in Hollywood. Remember the "cell phone" in Lethal Weapon 1 (1987)...like an Army comms line...no one I knew of had cell phones until the bricks of the early to mid-90s..even if rich people or Hollywood had them.
My mom gave me at Christmas the handheld version of space invaders....bless you mom. And bless the 1970s.
I loved the 1970's. I was born in 1966 and the mid-to-late 70's were my favorite time. By 1975, the Plaza shopping mall opened in New Orleans East and my brothers and I would go there to play video games. The Louisiana Superdome opened in 1975 and was considered to be a state-of-the-art facility at the time and hosted the 1978 Super Bowl. I had a Casio cassette tape recorder and used to play music and tape myself on it, it was easy to use. Watched shows like Happy Days, Three's Company, and Battlestar Galactica. Saw Star Wars in 77 and had many of the original action figures. Disco, skateboards, afros, loved all of it.
Me too 52 going on 53, the late 70’s were amazing to me, I guess because we were coming of age.
I was born in 70 and I don't really remember video games (esp at the mall) until around 1980/81 (other than actual arcade old-timey stuff). It seemed by 1982, and certainly by 86, every mall had to have a corner space that was just an arcade. Sometimes two in a mall. Speaking of malls, remember when people smoked in them?
Great memories...born in 1970, right behind you. Remember when you'd go to a gas station in the 70s and they all had a pinball machine? Then PacMac in the early 80s. Those old cassette tapes were cool because you could record yourself and siblings...I wish now more than ever I had the tapes we made of us goofing off in the 70s.
I was born 40 years after you. That sounds like an awesome life!
@@carljohnson7168 2016?
Ah, the 1970s... The greatest decade in the history of mankind. May it rest in ☮️
No. That title belongs to the 60s. The 70s are a close 2nd though.
Definitely when it comes to music
Not really....the impending threat of nuclear warfare and serial killers.
Yay serial killers and pedophiles!!!! Hitchhiking
Lived it,was great till development took over my town,things started disappearing too fast and now I am surrounded by crypt-like structures and crazy mean people.Hope you had a good time then!😎💖☘🕊🌠🌟
90's is iconic, but man, no one can beat 70's and 80's. I was born 1998, wish I could experience the 70's, esp for the music phase
As 2000 born, same.
2004 here🥲🥺
You don't know what you missed!
These videos make me feel like culture has stood still over the past 20 years.
The rise of roller skating peaked in the late 70s. McDonalds had Sun night specials with $.10 sundaes and $.19 burgers
I was born in 64 and growing up in the 70s was soooo awesome.
Class of 77 here, thank you for taking me home again. 😥
A Teenage Bride 77 .2021 Single . Circle ⭕ if life
it was an interesting time
Like living on Mars, then the 1980s came and burst the bubble. lol
I am 11 and so obsessed with the 70s...
just some fucking nerd kid I think you need tape over that mouth.
I was born in 70. My mom was always home unless she was volunteering at school. Dad worked his butt off. I went off on my bike to just ride or visit people in the neighborhood. I went swimming at friends, picked fruit off of people's trees, had BBQs with friends and family, spent nights at my grandma's and great aunt's. There was always something to go and do. Summer school was a place to go and play games with friends. We knew all of our neighbors for blocks. We went trick or treating without parents for hours. Saw a ton of movies at the drive ins. Everybody looked after everybody. We had no fear of "running wild". We had an amazing life WITHOUT any electronics.
Yes....I miss those days ....born in 72
I wish that social media did not exist so that people could get together and have fun without checking their phones every two minutes.
Well thanks to Zuckerberg. 😌
They need too ban all technology it's like your living in the year 1300 remember the wages of sin is death
@@markfrost6961 ??
@@markfrost6961 what the fuck are you talking about?
phone bad book good
One of the best ever decades purely because everyone I loved was alive then.Things are fine but it's people that count 😄
I completely agree with every word.
Not everyone some of the people I love weren't even born yet in the 70s. Like all my kids
@@tolfan4438 I was gonna say that! haha You haven't met anyone you loved since the 70s? =)
I was thinking about that very thing today. You're so right.
Veronica,
Your comment was spot on. You are my spirit animal. I am a kid of the 1970’s. I miss them too.
The 70s and 80s seemed like such a fun time to be alive.
When I look at this video I remember how my father and mother worked hard hours to take care us 7 kids. Luckily I had older brothers and sisters to watch over me...My parents made it easy for us to enjoy our lives in 70s..I wish I could've give back more to my parents as much they gave me..
I was 10 in "66. My life & friends can be partly summed up in 2 movies. A short titled Skater Dater, & On Any Sunday. We did a lot of different things, unlike today, would often stay for dinner & overnight wherever we ended up. We had to call our parents by 6 & tell them where we were. A lot of freedom, as long as we communicated.
the 1970s were a transitional decade be it positive or otherwise
I never saw a microwave in a house until around the time we got one (maybe 1982?). But I keep seeing references to them being around in the 1970s. I guess everything is late to the middle or lower middle class. I remember when we first got a push-button phone, and then a phone that hung on the wall, then a cordless, and an answering machine...then I was an adult and moved out !
Obviously I'm bias, but I think time has proven that the music of the 70s has stood the test...and is still standing.
The sheer number of bands and songs from the 70's that are still loved today is mind blowing and will never be bested by any other era!
Something from every genre and era does that
And yet you were too young to have experienced it
Except for Disco which sucked!
I was born in 1964. I spent the summer of 1976 with my Uncle on the Air Force base in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I would cut the military lawns for $5 a pop so as to take my little "girlfriend" to the bowling alley so we could have the greatest tasting hamburger and french fries in the world! Just outside the base there was an amusement park and fishing piers where I could go fishing. The base had a fast pitch softball team and I'd go to their games and enjoy the best hotdogs and coca colas in the world. I remember making my Aunt mad for not making up the bed, and my uncle made me stay inside for almost all day long!! I never forgot to make up the bed again after that traumatic experience haha! Life in the 70's and 80's were amazing. Even after school and beginning the career life, those times seem so much brighter and simpler and seemed to be a more fresh and cleaner life compared to today. Thank goodness we're all still here to reflect. I am thankful for that.
Same
This was the coolest story I’ve read yet. Sounds like heaven compare to today
I bet those hamburgers and french fries tasted so good because of the pride you felt at being able to pay for them from your own work.
I use to go to Myrtle Beach twice a year when I was a teenager. I remember those jets from the Air Force flying by the beach front, also going to the Pavillion on the strip at night to meet girls...this was and still is the best memories of my life!
@@armyretired28 that's awesome.
It was so fun being a kid in the 70's. Loved it all except for the polyester!
Agreed. I remember getting bad carpet burns on my knees and hands while playing on polyester carpets. Ouch!
Love those wild household decor colors!!! Bring em back!!! "More! More! More! How do you like it? How do you like it?"
Michael Bacon Now that song is stuck in my head lol
Take me to the 70s, please!!!
Damn, I wish I was a teenager in the 70s
@Chairman of the Board That doesn't matter because everyone has the approximate same life span. At least I'll die knowing how much better the world and life can be because I don't recognize it anymore today -- freer and more fun with less rules and restrictions and cares growing up. I'm sorry kids today don't know what they missed and think this is as good as it gets.
It was the best of times.
i was thiteen. this video omits the darker side of this decade. women were burning bras setting up the militant feminist movement we see at the apex today. roe v wade made me feel like getting married and having babies was somehow wrong. so i went to college....still not sure why since i married my high school boyfriend and had babies. i did graduate college before that, but i didn't learn much. thank God it didn't put me in debt for life ! as it prob would today.....the birth control pill was the liberating lie of the decade. women thought this was great for them but it ultimately led to them losing any semblance of femininity and men started to get soft. this is the worst decade in my opinion.....the beginning of the end. women are being sold the biggest lie ever. i loved the 60s !!! and am glad i was there to live it.
@@lauraanderson7358
If you were thirteen in the 70s how in the world were you able to enjoy the 60s so much? You were just s baby
@@rsie9526 it was the music. loved it. soul music, brittish invasion, beach boys......young people are sensitive to music. it was awesome. it takes a while for the super fresh stuff to trickle down, especially then. i was 10 in 1967, i wasn't a baby .
Born 1968. Was 7 in 1975. Super fun time to be young. People were very polite.
my dad was born in 1963 and I’m obsessed with history so i want to know what it was like for him as a kid. nice
I wish i could live in the 70s and 80s life was so good happy simple
I was born in 1985, but to see how the people in the 70's lived back then is fascinating.
No internet, no smartphones etc etc..
1920's to 1970's Very Interesting! Thank You!
Anyone remember making a chain out of soda can tabs? Or saving your empty Pringles tubes?
Best years of my life!
My mom starting working as a teenager and only stopped a few years after I was born. I was told that my dad made a decent living on his own but my mom liked working. She didn't like just being a wife and mother, she needed more.
I can't believe how bad inflation was back then. No wonder why most everyone was complaining about prices. Being born in 1968, my childhood was in the 70's and teen in the 80's. Those were some of the best times of my life.
the music was absolutely amazing. especially queen! they have so many incredible songs.
The 70's was bar none my favorite decade closely followed by the 80's.
This decade was my childhood!
I love the house decor
Avocado Green and Haverst Gold was the popular colors for appliances back then fft
It was the Wood Age. So much wood paneling it even appeared on the sides of station wagons :)
@@wayneworley1293 Early '70s that is, by '76 orange and brown were all the rage.
I loved the fact that my mom was able to stay home to raise us, while my dad worked. After we were mostly grown up, she went back to college and earned her PHD. Miss both my parents very much.
My Dad won a VCR in the late 70's, they cost like $500 at the time. We were the only family on our street with a VCR. On Friday and Saturday nights, we would rent a movie or two and there would always be 2-3 families in our living room watching the movie and eating popcorn. The adults would be on the couch, love seat, and like 8-10 kids would all be on the floor around the 25" console TV.
Wow, sadly I didn't get a VCR until 1983.
I bought a JVC VHS player with it’s fancy remote control connected with a cord for $600 in 1982.
I really miss those times,I was born in 73, and it was more fun and challenging then it is today. No cell phones or any social media at that time. We learned to enjoy life and we had to make friends and look for them instead of in fb. Too bad it's not like this anymore
Are you serious? This is a much better age for women than the 70s!
This video needs more views.
I love the decor!! I think the worst was the early 90s
Thank you Sarah for saying that ! Even today décor is boring, everything is white ! Whatever happened to rooms having color ?
Yes it was
Nah 80s styles were the worst. Miami Vice pink and real suits. Pepe and Guess Jeans. Swatches, parachute pants, Florescent shoe strings.
90’s in general were the worst. Such an awkward moment in history
2010s were the worst to be honest. 1990s to me was a renaissance like the 1970s.
I'm obsessed with the 70s even though born in late 80s.. that burnt orange yellow and green 70s colors
Cool eh, wish it'd make a comeback instead of the optical dullness we're having today.
The one show that you didn't mention was the show Emergency!
It came out in 1972. Just thought that you would want to know. Love from Marysville, California
Remember when my friends got a microwave oven in the late 70s, they were often referred to as “radar ranges“, such as the ones made by Amana. I thought it was a miracle that a cold piece of pizza could be piping hot in 30 seconds and yet the oven wasn’t hot.
I never heard of The Roots back then. Star Wars we went to the theater, it was packed! I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I remember long days playing outside in the summer. Absolutely precious memories for me. Nothing like kids today do, the internet killed so much specialness.
The inflation you cited was the primary reason many women chose to work outside the home. Two incomes were needed just to keep up with the rise in costs.
I was born in 1965. The 70s were the best time ever. I remember

Wish i had been born around 1952 instead of 82'. Wouldn't it be nice to have had my fun and career in the 60's thru 90s. I feel like millenials were left a lower quality of life. Slaves to internet bills and technology. Feels cheap and low class. i miss family times and friendships.
At least we got to experience the last parts of the good simple life. Which were the 90s. Remember Saturday morning cartoons? Nintendo afternoons? Blockbuster? It went down hill after 2000s
I know how it feels. I was born in November 2000 and for a while I wished that I was born in the 70s instead. But I think we should consider ourselves lucky because back in the 50s and the 60s the world was suffering from the effects of the Second World War. Racism and sexism was still prevalent at that time. It was the era when John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated. Life was much more harder and dangerous back then. Cold War already began (after WW2 in the late 40s) which ended in the 90s. Sure there are problems even today, but it's not physically as tough as it was back then (thanks to technology). Today people are more aware about things, and are open to anyone regardless of their race, gender or even sexual orientation. It is true that not everyone is same, but I think it is true for the most part.
By the way I'm really sorry if I sound like an arrogant person. I just wanted to share my opinion on it.
@@_sam_ddn unless we bring back the 70s lol
Embrace your generation. I'm 55. Its easy to look back with rose colored glasses, assuming everything was better. When it wasnt.The past had some good things and bad things about it, just like today. You are lucky to be young today. These are the best of times. :)
Samridhi Sharma pretty sure racism is worse now then it has ever been and that’s because the left continues to bring it up in every single conversation. Back then, life was simple. Black families were actually families and not ripped apart from the so called “benefits” that they receive now.
In 1975 my dad was a used car salesman, and my mom moonlighted as a local hooker to guys in our suburban neighborhood. We did quite well, sending me, my brother, and sister to college with advanced technical degrees. Everyone in our neighborhood loved us, and I had a great time growing up in the 70s. Boy, _those_ were the days!
My family would sit down and watch roots every night!
As a teen I am fascinated with the 70s and I want to do a 70s challenge to live a simpler more meaningful life, I honestly love the 70s energy and It would be so chill to live in this time
Wow, Jason that’s pretty interesting. 👍
That Will be a challenge! No pay phones,hardly any push button phones much less Rotary phones at homes,stores or anywhere.Older cars are almost vanished etc.Do some more video research as you are now.Learn about society,industry,hobbies,etc.Maybe you can find a 1970s bicycle.Now that would be a way to realize traveling in your own are w/out a car.Though many kids earned or maybe got a car then.Learn about clothing hair styles,the sports then. You could make it fun for yourself.Just keep looking around,talk to older people-47 and up in years.Go to thrift stores,garage sales etc.Blah,blah,blah...sorry so rambling.I wanted the aesthetics of the 60s and early 70s when I was in High School!😎💖☘🕊
I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and that’s the element that I’m nostalgic for (even though tech has made so many things possible and easier). All kids should have the experience of less supervision (in a safe way), more autonomy, more outdoor time, be able to make mistakes and learn without the internet having a record of every little thing! The ability to not be distracted by incoming stimulus ALL.THE.TIME. on screens! Having their ONE actual life only, and no “virtual” online life would be a really healthy thing.
$250?! Damn! Microwaves were expensive back then!
And if you only made 8 grand a year. It was very expensive. That why most people didn't get them until the 1980s when the prices came down. Jeez I remember when the first flat screen TVs came out 20 years ago. They cost seriously over 10 grand.lol
@@TM-em9ij And you could get them repared.
They also lasted way longer and were built like tanks
I make almost 20 grand a year and I payed that same price for a keyboard synthesizer.
I remember my mom paying 500 for ours
Ahhh, the fine decor like swag ceiling lamps, shag carpeting, harvest gold and avocado appliances and that Brady Bunch type of wallpaper.
I kept the wood frame/rattan panel sofa and swag lamp from my parents' basement...got it set up in my house now.
@@bossfan49 seriously? 👍
I love the 80s, but I think its essential to see the 70s to understand the 80s
What a cool video. I remember it just like this. You really captured the era. Great Job. Cool. To the Max. To the Maximum.
:27, that picture was way ahead of its time! A caucasian housewife and her son with two supposedly interracial children. And that icemaker refrigerator was for the affluent. Most people back then had a refrigerator with a very frosty freezer where you made your own ice cubes with an aluminum tray you filled with water, froze, then released it with a pull crank after running water over it.
Thanks for your videos. I think the 70s and 80s videos would be great as a brief in schools to introduce nowadays kids to those decades.
As a teenager in The 70s it was the best,the prices for everything was so much more affordable the music was better just everything, some family members were still with me I miss them also!, it was for sure the best of the best of times at least for me !
Long live the 70s !!!
Ahhhh....a time when we were taught "Family, no matter what"
8:09 is my grandparents living room straight up
Thick shag carpeting
Thank you for sharing a piece of history. This reminded me of a lot of things when I was growing up. I do appreciate it in uploading a video thanks again.
I was born in 1961, by the 70s I was old enough to remember all these things. Those were great days 60s - 70s.
Born in '66, I remember much of this too it was a fun time to be a kid.
i very much wish i was alive for this time period
The decade of my early youth. GOSH I loved some of these scenes. Thanks for the memories.
Great vid,,I live in UK had an American airbase near and I had American friends,worked in an American car spares place and visited the places where the us soldiers were based though many years later,,bungalows but enormous,,,,I'm in my 50s but luv and miss the 70s,,,
I remember when I was younger and my grandma would call me back home by standing on the porch and screaming my name lol
We had an obnoxious bell outside the back door that she didn't stop ringing until we were all home
I remember playing Space Invaders for the first time. It was in a fast food joint near where we lived that is long gone now.
Thank you for such an enjoyable walk down memory lane!
The 70’s was a great time. Things were tough but the music, movies & TV distracted us. Entertainment was at its peak.
Dam we really are living in shitty times... Kinda
Blame the last two generations
The 70's were great
These videos relax me so much
Great memories. Thanks. Pinball machines are often forgotten.
Love this video. Happy memories. T4S 🌹🌷 🌹
I was born in 1968. During the 70's my old man worked as a mechanic at Firestone. He could afford a house and 2 used cars, could feed the family, and still have pocket money. My mom stayed at home. We took a week long vacation every year, but I hated it, because it meant leaving the neighborhood and my 10 or so friends. We would play football, baseball, basketball, "guns" (play war), build forts, design obstacle courses and time each other with an analog wristwatch, watch Planet of the Apes, Godzilla ect. on the TV, go rollerskating.....I loved being a kid then. My parents are still married. 50 years and counting. America lost something along the way...
Loved the Mall especially the arcades!!
I remember the 1970's well. what a great time to be alive! so much freedom of expression and self 😀
1970s was the best decade. A more innocent, simpler time all in all
I was born in 1997 wish I was my age rn in the 70s
Excellent review of this decade I remember fondly.
The 1970s were less "Leave it to Beaver", more "Brady Bunch" when it comes to daily life...
I really hate that the only thing younger generations remember about the 70's is disco! Disco was only popular from about 1977-1980 when music changed to Punk & New Wave. I remember being really happy during the 70's even though we were still embroiled in the Viet Nam war and Watergate. kids actually played outside because we didn't have things like video games-until Atari later in the decade or cable TV, also later in the decade. Speaking of TV, it seemed like there was always something worth watching every night of the week. I wanted to be Mary Tyler-Moore when I grew up.
Actually, disco was kind of fun now that I think about it. Those retro clubs are very popular today. Besides, disco wasn't the ONLY pop music during those years.
@@SWLinPHX no it wasn't the ONLY kind, but it dominated the charts and the existing pop radio stations. A lot of radio stations and clubs at the time switched from rock to disco.
I was born in '73...my brothers and sisters were much older than me, so I related to them through their music and tv shows (remember only having 1 tv in the house?). I grew up watching all older show that were in syndication- Honeymooners, Andy Griffith, Untouchables, Twilight Zone, Rifleman, Hogan's Heroes, F Troop, MTM, Rockford Files, Little House, Bonanza, All In The Family, Sanford and Son, Good Times, What's Happenin', The Gong Show, Charlie's Angels, Welcome Back Kotter, The Partridge Family, The Monkees..... on and on.
@@bossfan49 TV was MUCH more entertaining, even with less channels. None of those "reality" shows, and paid advertising. Absolute trash on TV now.
My maternal (late) grandmother had yellow appliances in a ranch-style house. We lived nearby, in an A-Frame!
I had an orange bedroom! Vaulted/Cathedral ceilings, a loft. A deck. Excellent. A treehouse, too! Plexiglas windows.
We lived in 3 story house and my grandparents lived in the Aframe next door
thanks for helping me do my presentation!! 😊
Clothes were strange and loud in the 70's.. I had a few strange clothes myself, I was in my 20's then.
Dave Erhardt Yes it was a very loud time for clothing. But I sure miss that era
