    I went from a young teenager to a young adult in the 70's and I never set foot in anywhere disco was going on. That was the most embarrassing part about the 70's. The music that brought my friends and I together was music like Pink Floyd.

      There was a radio personality (Steve Dahl) who held a "Disco Demolition" event at Comiskey Park. I didn't get to attend, but I saw highlights on the news.

    The Chopper bicycle looked very cool and was a 3 speed. Those are the good parts. Now the bad. It was heavy as hell and the 16 inch front wheel made it hard to control. Literally all the weight was on the back and the front would kick out from under you. Even the guy who designed it later said it was a horrible bike. It was a cool bike. That is what counted.

    Ah, memories. I was a little kid to late teen that decade. I rode dirt bikes, collected beer cans, listened to CB radio, enjoyed the bicentennial, went to Six flags for the first time to ride the Screaming Eagle. I lived in the country. I didn't skate. I rode bicycles though.

    I was a younger teenager (13 years old) in the late 70’s in So Cal. I would take a bus to the mall with friends for 50 cents. We would hang out there all day. Try on clothes, maybe put something on layaway, eat, and catch a movie. No phones! If you needed to call your parents, you’d use a pay phone. We’d get back to the bus stop after dark and walk home. About half a mile. I would never have let my kids do the same thing. Not a chance!

  • @KadieCat
    @KadieCat 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I was a teenager in the seventies and lived in SoCal. I loved the roller rink. I had gold glitter skates from Sears. I want to add a few things to the list that I remember fondly. I had a pukka shell necklace and turquoise rings on every finger and silver bracelets. I had wing bangs and wearing Danskin ballet outfits for the disco! My bedroom was filled with posters that lit up the room with black lights. I was no allowed to go on a date with a guy who drove a van!! We all wore either wallabies, earth shoes or beach comer bills flip flops. I mixed matched my bikini tops and bottoms. I rode my bicycle everywhere everyday and had to be home before the street lights came on. We were the first family on our street to get a microwave. My grandpa started a fire because he put a can of baked beans in the microwave and blew it up! It’s funny now but at the time it was terrifying. It took me years to trust that it wasn’t going to happen again! Who knew? But I digress. I had a portable tape recorder and I would tape songs on the radio. Growing up in the seventies and being so close to Disneyland was epic. I remember hanging out at the CocaCola stage with Papa Do Run Run playing beach boy music as the stage lifted up from the floor. We met boys from all over the world. This video was so fun to watch because it reminded me of my youth and how many serial killers I dodged during that time period. Groovy!😊

      Class of '76 as well. And of all the crazy stuff that took place in Chicago during the 70's, the most interesting, and mostly annoying things were the "Bicentennial Sale" commercials that actually started airing in 1975...🤔

    With the exception of the obvious chopper model. All the other Bicycles were Schwinn Orange or apple crate bikes. They had a small tire up front and a large drag slick in the back simulating a dragster. I was sporting a Honda Trail 70 In 1970.
    It was not the best bike to jump ramps with due to the stick shifter.
    In 76 I bought a factory stock
    64 1/2 Mustang. And went surfing during the day. Discos at night.

    The smiling face didn't have "Commercial origins." The design was created in Worcester, Ma in 1963. It was created as a fun morale booster for the employees of a local Insurance company. The yellow face was supposed to be fun and cheerful. Pins were made and given to employees, but were never sold to the general public.
    Since Harvey Ball did not copyright his character, Hallmark started using the face in the 1970s for commercial uses. Hallmark actually tried to copyright the design and made a small fortune from pins, shirts, posters, etc. The creator only received a very small amount of money for the original art.
    Worcester, Ma has regular events, a mural, and even the Smiley on some of its street signs. Theres even a costumed mascot that shows up at ball games and parades.

    The Pet Rock was the greatest marketing con of all time. The "inventor" sold more than a million rocks to a lot of naive people when all they needed to do was walk out into their backyard or woods to find a "pet" for free. That just showed that people in America will buy anything, something that's still true to this day.

    "8-track tapes" forgot: "The distinctive and familiar sound of music becoming garbled, then silencing altogether, as the latest 8-track player's insatiable appetite for music cartridges provided an audible milestone that prepared a generation of young Americans to quickly make the jump to cassette tapes once they were introduced in the seventies.!"
