- The 1970s was all about bigger and better. From cars to pant legs it sure delivered on being bigger. The decade was full of events and items that made this one unique time period to experience. Some of the styles have even come back around into mainstream and popularity. There are so many things to discuss when speaking of the 70s but in today's video we will revisit some of the things that made this a great decade. Hopefully this will bring back some good memories and may the 70s live on forever!

Tang the drink mix brand was formulated in 1957 and first marketed in a powdered formula 1959. Sales were poor until NASA used it in 1962. Following the lunar landings in 1969 the sales really started picking up in the 1970s.
But NASA didn't really use it. They had a disgusting flavored drink that had vitamin C in it that the astronauts hated but some how later on Tang got marketed as "what the astronauts drink".
GRAPE!!!!!!!!
Just subscribed, yeah!
Thank you for watching and subscribing.
...then one of the Apollo astronauts mentioned on the live mid-afternoon broadcast from space that the stuff 'will never replace orange juice'.
Born 1964..... living in today's warped society, I never would have imagined how much I miss the 70's & 80's. I remember getting on my Schwinn krate bike and cruising around all day with my friends. Hearing my mom say "be home before it gets dark!". Special times.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
Dude i hear ya. I would never imagine the crap music id have to endure later in life when i was 10 in 77
Listening to kiss boston disco and even these cheesy pop and love songs
Same here. Born in 1968 and find today so depressing. Glad I was born then and experienced the good times and feel sorry for kids born today.
@@pgzzz i would say every generation feels their rearing yrs.had the best of times music art tv movies toys games friend relationships..wait..
Yea ur right it sux now
Born in the 70s but I completely agree
I was a child of the 60's, a teenager of the 70's, and in my 20's during the 1980's. I have always felt I was very lucky to live during this time. I really enjoyed your video! Thank you.
Same here deniseparker!!
Ditto! Those were the best of times. I feel sorry for kids today who don't know what they missed.
That's exactly how I feel too. We were so lucky to have been born when we were.
Child of the 50s, teenager in the 60s and young adult in the 70s ... and older than dirt in this new century 😏
Me too!! ❤
Drive-in theaters, dial telephones, avocado green, banana bikes, muscle cars Etc I would go back to those days in a heartbeat
When are we leaving I'm ready! Those were the best times ever
Me too
I'm ready also!!!
If you remember "Somewhere in time", (with Chris Reeves, and Jane Seymore), he had coins from the day, to go back in time. I've been saving 60s coins, for when I can go back, and buy a new GTO.
Me too big time much better quality of life., and no pc BS
Born in 67. The 70s and 80s were the best times to grow up in. I feel bad for kids today. They'll never know what they're missing.💗
Agree they never knew innocence
People born in the 20’s and 30’s say the same thing about you. Everybody thinks their childhood was the greatest.
Me too i am from 1967
@@chiwawa130True but technology has truly changed so much that kids experiences and interactions today are much more dissimilar than what occurred in the 1920’s - 1980’s.
72 here and you are So right. Tell my kids all the time
Man, I miss the 70s,waking up to my Grandma’s breakfast, the smell in the morning of freshly cut grass,Saturday morning cartoons, the musical acts in the evening time,please take me back ❤
Totally. I remember loving Friday nights because my mom often served tuna noodle casserole, which I loved, and The Six Million Dollar Man was on at 8:00!
@osiawideman, same here. I loved to go spend the weekends with my grandparents. They had a nicer house than my parent's did. They had color TV and we didn't. I loved waking up to my Granny cooking breakfast, Pawpaw cutting grass, and watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. Then we'd go outside and play. I have an uncle that was only 4 years older than me. My mom was the oldest of her four siblings, so really my uncle was more like my brother instead of my mom's brother. We grew up together. We'd play baseball or basketball, ride bikes, or play hide and go seek. Or if the weather was bad we'd just stay inside and play down in the basement. We always found something to do. Sometimes we'd stay up late and clean the house even though there really wasn't much to clean. I'd polish furniture with pledge furniture polish. I'd clean the bathrooms. It was a gift to my grandparent's. We'd help in the garden sometimes too. Things were different with my parent's though. They didn't get along to well. That made life hard at times. Then my dad past away when I was only 10 years old in 1979. That really turned things upside down. Anyway, at least I can remember some good times back in the 70's. 😉😊
I agree with every word you said I'm miss all of those things
@@bonniebrown6960 Thanks for sharing your story. I especially could relate to playing in the basement on a rainy day and my friends would come over. I still have most of the toys we played with back then. From Hot Wheels, to Tonka trucks, G.I. Joe, Evil Knievel, my SWAT Police playset, Six Million Dollar Man, Atomic Man. They were all kept neatly stored in a storage room in our house and brought to my house for display after my Mother's passing. The memories.
You left out one thing... Not having a care in the world.
I was 20 in the 70s, and now I'm 70 in the 20s. Absolutely, the best decade.
I was born in the 50's and grew up through the 60's and 70's. I really wish there was a way to go back. The 70's were the best time of my life.
Mine too
I was born in the 50'c. And grew up through the 60's and 70 cs and I must say 1970cs definitely was the best time as ever. Wish I could turn the time clock back with he time machine ‼️‼️😉😉👍👍
Yeah...me too. Gravesend Bklyn, Great Food, Goregious Girls, Yamaha Mini bikes, & Rock n Roll! Best times Ever! Very Fond memories. God Bless...😊
I'm 70 yrs and I tell you all. The best times were in the 70's music or otherwise. Been there, done it!
I was born in 1963. Growing up in the 70’s was the absolute best time ever hands down! The tv shows, cartoons, clothes, the hair and most definitely the music. I miss it all. Thanks for the memories.
You're welcome welcome thank you for watching!
Hello.I loved wearing the shiny silky polyester shirts.
@TinaHayman we are the same age! So true!!
I agree
Thanks for creating this video. This was my childhood. The nostalgia is very delightful and comforting.
I told my high school students recently about how TV stations "signed off" for the night. They played the National Anthem then went to static. They had no idea what I was talking about. 🤣
Bet you received lots of blank, confused looks in response.
Ours played a song theme called Good night sleep tight as a view of the sunset was shown
@@davidhibbs6989 That is also the song Lawrence Welk used to end his tv program during that time, too. My grandmother used to watch him.
Nope, sorry, I was wrong, that was a different song titled "Adios, Au Revoir, Ah Weidershein." 🤣
Poltergeist
I can't lie, watching some of these memories about/pertaining to life in the 60s/70s,I usually end up crying through about half of the clip(s). I miss everything about those times,and I mean miss everything!!!
Just remember, you are not alone. In the end, all we have are the memories. I remember thinking when I was living through those times how amazing it was! I also remember doubting it could ever be better in the future. Then 9-11 really changed things for the worst. But, I still have a lot of hope for 2025 and beyond.
I was born in 53 and had a great life in the 60s and 70s I would love to return to this life style.
So was i😊
I remember in the 1970s all the middle aged people complaining about rising prices and the old people complaining about "kids today" and how society was going to hell.
BAAAAHAHAHA😂 Sea Monkeys!!! 🦐
are you the Michael Quinn that lived in South Raleigh (caraleigh) if so I'm Michael liggins, do you remember me?, we all have gotten old!, miss those good old days!
Born 1957. Truly, truly the Best era to grow up ! We had remorse & Respected our Elders ! Cannot even compare "then" to "present" times !! 🙏
Born in 1954 oh what memories.
I was born in 1958! What a great time to grow up in. So many wonderful memories.
@@theonewhomjesusloves1005 more like 2018
@@hnl4838 what do you mean, 2018?
@@theonewhomjesusloves1005 you re not born in 1958 no way with that profile
Born in 1970 and those were fun, carefree times, playing outside until dark, creating our own fun, riding bikes and skating, drive in theatres, disco music, and lots of freedom. Today’s world is unrecognizable in comparison and those days were definitely better to grow up and live in.
Hello how are you doing, hope you are having a great time and some wonderful moment with your family?
It's unbelievable what America has become, from the 70s to now.... our grandparents would scold us for sure
@@handle-schmandle not even close, lol....
Those were the good 'ol days !!
I am 59 and totally agree, i am from France
I was born in 1955 and the 70's where the absolutely the best! I'm glad I was a teenager in the 70's .
I'm a 1955 kid, too..ahhhh, memories!!!
Born in 66 I have such fond memories of the 70s & 80s....such great times 😃❤
Born in 64 in France and when i was 10, i just find out all American series i keep on watching everyday, like bewitched, skippy, flipper……and so many others ……!! J’adore . 80s with Disco was super too……!!! Where are all this enthousiaste and joyful societies ??? 🫣 i keep on living in this time because of this music and series that that’s the only way to stay happy, healthy in mind and body 🤷♀️😃
Me Too! I live in Georgia. I Love France 🇫🇷 plan to watch Tour de France starting Saturday!
Did you wear Sperry Top-Sider/Docksider she without socks ? What did your feet smell like ?
Born in 1961 and the 70s were the best childhood a kid could experience
@@Alvarez486 absolutely ❤
Remember Wolfman Jack and The Midnight Special. 70's were the best days of my life.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
CLEARASIL
Yes and Cousin Brucie in NY!!!
I can relate to every single thing you mentioned. I was born in 1968 and I wouldn’t trade growing up in the 70s for anything. How I wish we could go back before all this technology, the world would be a better place and life would be simple again.
Yes it would. It was a great decade. Thank you for watching Brian!
Born '68 too
I was born in the 50s and was in my teens during the 70s but my main adult life was in the 80s . Best time of life was in those 2 decades .
1970s and 1980s
Before the all access internet existed and killed the magic
I totally agree with you Brian and have said the same myself. I too was born in 1968.
I wish I could go back to the 70s, American was a much happier place back then.
Actually, economically America was grim in the 1970s but still fun for children and teenagers.
The economy didn’t really turn bad until ‘77 or so. The early 70s still had most things pretty affordable, despite the invention of the latchkey kid signaling the end of the single income still allowing for a very comfortable home life. But we were still able to not have to worry so much. Late 70’s, very different picture.
I remember very long gas lines....
Born in 1964 and 100% a 70's kid! Good times as we lived in our vivid imaginations and derived great pleasure from the simplest of things. Thanks for the memories!
Born in 1952. The 70s were great. Life was great. It was simple. People actually talked to each other. All these so called modern conveniences have done nothing but destroy society. You can have the present. Good luck to all you young people, you’re going to need it. I really wish a young person today could go back for a couple of weeks and experience what it was like. It was a different world. A better world
Yes, indeed!
Amen brother
That's a fact! Imagen if we could time travel to back then. I know I would for sure
20 in 1972?!
Got drafted went to the nam still though the 70 were great
The 60s and 70s, such a different time for kids, I miss those days and would go back in a heart beat.
Thank you for watching!
I agree and wish that my kids could experience that gentler kinder time.
Let's steel doc brown's time machine, and we will destroy when we get there!!!👍👏👏👏✌
in 64, my grandmother had a heart problem. So she was sent home to die. Unprepared, I stood at the foot of her bed and watched her die.. Today you can get heart surgery
@@harryjones2420 Yup, who is updated technology and in medical care we all live healthy now. Back then without technology that we have now it was a struggle.
Born in 1960, the 70' were the best years of my life. Still miss them....
Born in 62. Grew up free of worries. Could go anywhere without worry as i knew someone would help you if needed. Not so much today anymore. Miss those wonderful times. Loved that we had to work to buy my first car. Took good care of it. 👍👍😎😎😎😎
👍❤💯
Those Saturday morning cartoons were the best, such good childhood memories!!!!
Miss those days!!!!!
Born in 59, the 70s were the best times of my life. I think about them often. Can't believe how everything has changed, not for the best. 😢
you also had monster shows and monster movies
Born in 1960. I was recently discussing then and now with a Gen Z person. Times were definitely easier. And to think our music is still played and loved by so many generations.
We will always have the best music .I was in 7th grade in 74 our music was music real musicians who actually played instruments.singers who actually could sing.😎🎸🖖🥳👍😁🥰those were the days.
My 35+-year-old daughter thinks music started in the '80s. Hah.
Born in 83, listen to music from late 50s to early 90s. I would have to say that I prefer music from 65ish to 89ish though.
Same here! Class of 78 California, La Puente high school, graduated with a 1.8 GPA, can't pass with that nowadays lol
One of the best jokes I heard recently..
"Is it just me getting older, or are grocery stores playing really good music these days?"
I was born in '66, and I remember EVERYTHING in this video.
Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. I'm so glad that I was lucky enough to grow up during the 70s! I can't imagine missing out on those days!
"Basically, that means you were Dad's remote control". LOL! Soooo true!
I grew up in the 70’s and it was the Best time of my life.
Things were so much simpler and safer.
I loved every minute.☮️💟
It was a great decade. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
Totally agree Mam👍👏👏👏✌
Times actually weren't safer. We just didn't have the internet and 24 hour news. There was a lot of crime back then too.
No kidding ,,,, NOT NOW LOL
@@sfuterfas I agree.. it felt grittier back then..maybe a bit dirtier maybe even creepier. (I was a little kid in 70s San Francisco) but I also felt more warmth.. if that makes sense
The 70’s were the best…friends hung out, families ate dinner together, food wasn’t as processed as it is today, and the list goes on….
It was a great decade! Thank you for watching!
Also this:
Cigarette vending machines everywhere, and everybody smoked everywhere. Even hospitals.
Up until 1974, women wouldn't get a credit card separate from her husband.
Leaded gasoline was still a thing
Drinking and driving deaths were 6 times higher than they are today
The mortgage interest rate was 8-10% and about to jump about 16 in the 80s.
Infant mortality was 20 deaths per 1000. Today it's still a pathetic 6 per 1000, well behind every other industrialized nation.
@@stupidd6513 yup, the 70’s were great. Men were men, women were women. I’m so glad I grew up in the 70’s instead of growing up with a bunch of wimps that don’t even know what bathroom to use.
@@williamsporing1500 That just a perceived problem in your own head.
Remember when Boomers threw a fit over:
Corporal Klinger dressing as a woman?
Milton Berle and his cross dressing skits
Flip Wilson loved dressing like a woman. Tootsie was a good movie about a cross dresser. Mrs Doubtfire? Bosom Buddies? Heck, go back to Some Like it Hot. Did exposing yourself to those images confuse you as to which bathroom to use?
How much time are you spending pondering what is inside a stranger's underwear?
@@stupidd6513 ?
Born in 1958 remembering the good days. I want to go back fun times
School House Rock, Mr.Rogers, Sesame Street, Electric Company, and Zoom made a huge impact on me. TV was interesting back then compared to now. There were a lot of family oriented shows such as Eight is Enough, The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, and Family. I am glad I grew up in that era.
Born in 54 , so I got to enjoy the 60s and 70s. Special decades !
Thank you for watching Nason!
Dang dude your old lol. I am jealous of you though. The 60’s and 70’s seem so cool. Wish I could have experienced it. Life seemed like it was more fun then.
Born 1959, july 8th.
@@ghettomist1575 You would have loved it.
Hey my sister was born in 54' maybe you knew her? Rare name... ANN 🙄
I was born in 1970, I got very emotional watching this. It definitely put a smile on my face and made me laugh at times. Thank you for making me forget about the present for awhile.
I was born in 1970 as well. I'm grateful that was when I grew up ...I remember when the 80s started in the Reagan era and I could feel a huge change that was not for the good. The preppy era...I wasn't a fan,at all!!!!
Years ago my nephew asked, uncle, what we're your TV remotes made of? I replied, we didn't have them. He roared with laughter.
I was born in 62,so yeah the seventies was my era,I loved it,some of the best toy's were made in that decade and cinema,music, remember NME,to be young then was amazing.
Born the same year. The seventies were the best days of my life. Especially when you see how far society has fallen.
I graduated from HS in 1978... I'd give anything to go back in the Wayback machine and spend a day with all my old friends... it really was the best of times :)
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories!
Me too, And I been missing hanging out with my old friends too. We would buy beers and watch Orielly and Jonathan and the Bruins fighting the Canadians. ,The whole house would be shaking. ,,Good Times.
I had a blast as a teen in the 70s A BLAAAAAAST
@@47tooter ....the Bruins were fighting everybody lol. Sabres fan here
I graduated in 1978 as well….we grew up in the best of times!! Our music was the best! B
I was born in 1966. The 70's and up to 1985 were some very memorable significant times.
Things have sure changed since then. Thank you for watching!
Same here. Miss it all.
Me too.
Anymore 66er's here?
What happened in 1986?
I cried watching this video I miss those days and I wish I could go back and be a kid again.
Just reminds me of all my friends that aren't with us anymore, the older people were right when they used to say that life goes by quicker than you think.
The older you get, the shorter life becomes. Life is short, folks. Live it fully.
Now we’re the older people telling today’s youth that life goes quickly
Amen
@@jrnfw4060 I remember when a High School year lasted forever, and then I was nervous about encountering new people for the next grade
@@alexshatner3907 That is so true! The experience of time was sooo different when we were young. I’m 56 now and it’s scaring me how it just hurtles by now!
I love how diverse the music. There was a feeling of freedom I fear we will never feel again.
Your right
Song : Seasons in the sun
As a teenager in the 60s I never got much freedom. Had to always ask permission to go anywhere on my own, and more often than not, it was denied. I heard "NO." way too often. I grew up with "NO," whether fair or not.
Not just a "feeling" of freedom, we had actual freedom. Something modern generations can't comprehend. You could get on an airplane without ID, get on a bus without ID and travel across the country. etc. etc.
@@Aryaba Wow that is so true, I had forgotten about that no ID needed
I was born in 1960. Being a teenager in the 70s was great, especially in the days before helicopter parents. I hitchhiked a lot and never had a bad experience, nor did we hear of any locally. There was always some story in the news from some town we never heard of with a hitchhiker disappearing, but that could never happen here…right? How innocent we were then.
I was a small child in the 70s, but so much of this resonated! I actually had a pen pal. Can you believe it? She was from Pittsburgh. I mentioned that to a much younger co-worker a few years ago, and her response made me feel so ancient - 'what's a pen pal?' she asked.
You’re right, and it was so cool to get letters in the mail! A whole different feeling.
Yes that used to be a trend. Some magazines for children, would have a letters page, requests looking for someone to write to. School also promoted this idea of write to someone, from another country. Sometimes they would come and stay with you and you go and stay with them in their country
Same here. I had a pen pal from France and one from Egypt. Yes, writing on paper with a thing called a PEN. 😁 Great times!
give her a dial phone to confuse her
I had a pen pal to hahaha oh the memories…
Those were the days! We didn’t know how good we had it back then but now, I wish we had those times back because we live simply and had a lot more fun!
Thank you for watching Janine!
You go that right.
Yesssss
Fun was the Best 3 letter word.
Agree
Born in 1967, and I remember all these things! Thanks for the memories!
Hello how are you doing, hope are you having a good weekend with your friends and family?
I was born in 1967 too.
I was born in '67 too! 👍
Man the 70’s were the best times to grow up , bell bottom Jeans , medal lunch boxes , going around the neighborhood with my friends on our bikes or walking around going to the corner store buying penny candy 🍭! Man miss those days
👍🎯💯❤
My Dad grew up in the 70s, I just loved listening to his stories. from that time
I am 55 and grew up in the 70’s and it was great!!!

@@jonkline709of course!!! So much better. We were living authentically ❤
THE 70S WERE THE BEST OF TIME. I WISH I COULD GO BACK SO BAD
I was born in 64, so the 70s were awesome to me. I still enjoy the music and sitcoms, and movies.
I’m so blessed to had my childhood start at 65 and grow through 70’s
Best years of my life 70's @ 80's!!!! Wish we could go back
Aww, ME TOO !
Us 70s kids were tough little guys and girls. What great, fun, simple times.
Thank you for watching Brannon.
"Conjunction junction, what's your function?"
"I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill"
I loved Schoolhouse Rock
The fact that TV shows and specials were only on at their designated time made them that much more special! It was exciting to get the TV guide with the Sunday paper and figure out when the Christmas specials you wanted to see would be on! We’d all remind each other at school and start acting them out from memory…
Such good memories.. I can literally smell the sandwich my mom always packed in my metal lunch box and
The smell of a freshly sharpened pencil or box of new crayons in my book satchel..
Such simple, easy times that modern kids will never have the pleasure of knowing..
You're right about that and all those things did have a distinctive smell! Thank you for watching Laura!
Ha. I can remember my lunch sandwiches as well. The trouble is 90% of the time they were bologna mayo with lettuce. Sadly every day I was stuck eating sandwiches with soggy slimy lettuce but as a kid. I was too dumb to think of a better way to ask mom to prepare the sandwiches. If I would have had mom pack lettuce in a baggie seperate from the sandwich my sandwiches could have been crispy everyday. Imagine eating a brauswager sandwich with slimy lettuce. In a way it has helped me as an adult. Cuz now day old Big Macs are no issue for me if I eat them a day after purchase.
@@jeffcarlson3269 I used to put a salad in my thermos and put the dressing on it before school so the salad would be soggy and wilted by lunchtime. For some odd reason I liked it that way. 😄
@@juneberry1982 hmmm... mom never made us salads too much as a kid.... and it was Not on my menu prefered list... but if you had your salad in your thermos... where did your milk go?... or did you buy the school milk..?... I think in the 60's-70's.. it may have cost 2-5 cents.. I can't remember... I sure enjoyed the chocolate milk that was not low-fat..from school.... we had the best chocolate milk in my area from a place called Robert's dairy.. that was manufactured right here in Omaha... I have never had such good tasting chocalate milk since those school days...
Ahhh, peanut butter & jelly sandwich on Wonder bread 😍
I was born in the late 60's , but man I loved the 70's ! Especially waiting on Saturday to roll around for some awesome cartoons ! Fun times man !! 😁
There really was some great cartoons back then. Saturday morning cartoons were exciting! Thank you for watching!
You're a 60s baby 70s kid the 70s is definitely one of my favorite decades that I was not a part of. im 23 but i love the music of the 70s 80s 90s, every decade but those decades in particular had a unique Style and those decades are more modern anything before 1970 is prehistoric.
@@MrDewayne You SHOULD talk to people WHO grew up in the 50--60's. It was JUST as good as the 70's, MOST would ever say it was Better.
I was born in that same time frame and like everyone, loved to watch cartoons. So I recently discovered Metv, a nostalgic tv network that just added three hours of classic cartoons from 7AM to 11AM every Saturday morning. They show lots of great old cartoons, and they're not worried about being all politically correct, they just show them. I'm now in my 50's and I watch cartoons every Saturday I can. Give it a try and get back in touch with your inner child, or something like that.
Me too!
Yep I grew up in the 70s .. it was the best you name it. Best music ever. Staying out all day on the weekends and coming home when the porch came on. Cool clothes cool cars you name it.
Born in 64. I rode my bike everywhere and played outside all day long. Life was good.
I can relate to ALL OF THIS. I miss the 70s.
It was a great time! Thank you for watching!
Just 48 more years and you can relive it all over again 🤣

@@stupidd6513 whenever one of these videos are posted, someone has to chime in and try to ruin other people's memories. Sure, no era was perfect, but compared to today's bizarro world, the 1970s wasn't such a bad time to exist.
Best decade ever. Freedom, the beach, parties, friends and fantastic commercial music - Bowie, the stones, Elton john
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
The adult world had its problems, but kids in the 70s
had a great time.
And NO cell phones recording those good times!
Sixties: JFK, MLK, RFK....Beatles....enough to make the 60s the best decade 😄
At UFO concert SA convention ctr rolling a party joint looked right SAPD leaning on rail watching me laftd at me and walked away I would've been shot today
Being born in the 90s and growing up in the 2000s, us 00s kids were the last kids that had any personality development or culture. These kids have no chance nowadays. But even then, I wish I could have experienced the 70s and 80s as a kid/young man.
Oh they will have a chance. Just a new generation. There is a difference with each generation, makes us all unique!!
born in 2003 i always wanted to know how it feels to live in the 60s/70s and the closest i can get is by buying vintage clothes and listening to rock/funk and stuff
Listen to radio clips of 93 KHJ from Los Angeles. You will be visiting the 70s LIVE!
I haven't stopped smiling since the video started. The memories! From beginning to end!
Song : you make me feel brand new,,,,And always and forever
I would give up everything just to go back in time and relive my entire childhood….kids today can’t even imagine how great it was to grow up during the late 70’s and 80’s! It was truly a magical time…at least for me
I WASA BORN in 1960 The 80s were ok But 70s were SPECAL
Incredible time to be a kid for sure
Agree
Me too
Born 1966 I'd say they were Wonderful safe fun times unlike being a kid today.
Best era to grow up in.
I miss the 70's so much.
It was a great decade! Thank you for watching!
Born in 1969. This was like jumping straight into my memory banks. The products. The attitude. The spirit. You did a great job of capturing the essence of the era.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoying this one!
I was also born in 1969. My early years were like an acid trip... all the colours... and the Sid and Marty Krofft cartoons. Good times for sure!
Remember the bottles of soda in the vending machines with the long skinny door?
The soda was SO cold and refreshing! .25 cents for a 16oz GLASS bottle.
I was born in late December of 71, so my experiences in the seventies was limited. I do remember some of it, especially Star Wars.
I was born July 1971! I remember EVERYTHING since I was 2! Nothing before though. Good times good times.
@@theadjuster151July of 71 as well❤❤❤
Born in 1960, the 70’s was my best decade. Lord help what this country has become.
Everyone over 30 was nostalgic for the 1950's. That's when nostalgia became an industry.
Born in 63 and I remember all of this. What made me LOL so hard was talking about being dad's remote or having to stand there holding the antenna because the reception cleared up. It really took me back. Heck we still have one of those yellow refrigerators. It will likely outlive me.
Those old refrigerators were meant to last. My dad has a deep freezer from the early 60s still running strong. He has go manually defrost it every so often but it's no big deal. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
@@RhettyforHistory ah yes, the ones with the lockdown handles, also referred to as "coffins" for good reason.
This is actually an upright one. My grandparents had one that was on the ground but that one was much more difficult to thaw so it was sold.
Nice 70s collection, should've included "mood rings" though. Good times.
Those were a big item! There always room for another one as there was a lot!
Born in 1972. Growing up in the 70's and 80's were so much fun and exciting. From music, movies, television, and new inventions constantly being discovered. Remember when we lost our minds over Stove Top Stuffing, Fruit Roll-up's, Magic Shell, Capri Sun, Rubix Cube, Atari 2600 (Pitfall, Kaboom, Pacman, Asteroids, Centipede, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Tron... could go on for days...). We rode our bikes all day with our friends and all friends knew at dusk, it was time to go home and we weren't ever late. We didn't take a knee unless we were praying. We didn't receive trophies for merely showing up. Competition was fun and welcomed challenges without our parents doing everything for us. Concerts were actually watched and no photography was allowed in the venues. We only knew our teachers last names and didn't even know if they were married or had children the majority of the time. We pledged allegiance to the flag every morning in class before we started learning actual lessons like math, science, history, and art. We brought peanut butter and jelly sandwichs for lunch and couldn't find three people in the entire school that were allergic to gluten or peanuts. You may have had one friend here or there that was allergic to seafood. Grocery shopping was a family event (never threw groceries into your parents cart because that was considered bad behavior). Your parents could give you one look letting you know you were in trouble and needed to correct your behavior immediately. You valued your elders and listened to their advice. Word of mouth is how you learned about new music, shows, and events coming up. Going to the record store was a major event and you listened to all types of genre's. You could listen to one radio station and hear Johnny Cash, Donna Summer, Crystal Gayle, Rod Stewart, ZZ top, Whitney Houston, Kenny Rogers, Eurythmics, Culture Club, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Duran Duran, and Blondie without the need of changing stations. Twerking would've got you some serious grounding (our household called it "restriction" and you couldn't use the phone, watch TV, nor visit friends. Just do your chores, complete your homework, and have dinner). Your parents were parents, not your BFF. Grandparents were cherished and you wanted to be just like them. Teachers corrected bad behavior immediately and if they called your parents, you had a serious problem when you returned home. Detention was looked at as a punishment and your entire family would be embarrassed for you. America is and will always be the best country in the world. American exceptionalism was shared and we wore our flag with immense pride. Pronouns were used as a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse. Feelings and fluidity didn't matter, reality did. Our President (Reagan) referred to our country as the little shining city upon a Hill. Our military was honored and we thanked them for defending our freedom and rights. Kids grew up wanting to be Soliders. Police officers visited our schools and gave us great advice regarding avoiding kidnapping, staying off drugs, and becoming exemplary citizens. Overall, I miss those days and hope the younger generation can learn to appreciate more.
I was in my teens in the 1970's and I remember all of this stuff!
I grew up in 70s best times ever ,love to go back happy times
They were certainly good times! I'm glad I got to experience them. Thank you for watching!
Yup, the best time to grow up as a child . I believe it was the last decade when kids were real kids , playing out side from morning to dinner. Riding our bikes all over town and hanging at the neighborhood parks and doing different crafts there . They had park and rec teachers then for free and they played with the kids all day to dark and did crafts and lots of games. They don't do that any more. I remember eating breakfast as fast as I could so we could go out side with all our friends. We did not need all those expensive toys f today. All we wanted was our bikes,skate board and a ball.we played freeze tag, hide and seek, kick the can , and kick ball.... we built neihborhood forts in the woods and tire swings...
.we were fierce ,fast and knew how to have fun. When our parents called us in to eat we would eat as face as we could .we couldn't miss out. We all played together , the entire neighborhood ,boys and girls and we had a blast. Yes growing up as a kid in the 70s was the best and we had the best time of our lives ..
@@zazasworld8377 , kids were real kids in the 80s and 90s.
I was born in 1971 and this video is like a warm hug, Thank You so much 🥰
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Hi pretty lady!!!
I graduated in 1971. This video was a warm hug for me as well.
I Love Disco!
I usually fried in the Sun. Even Sunscreen didn't help.
I couldn't agree more. This decade was fantastic. I was a teenager then.
Born in 71, LOVED it, from what I remember of it.
Wish I was born in 61, so I could have been a teenager during that fantastic decade!!
I’m a 76 baby but so much of this is familiar to me as it all melted over to the early 80s.
I remember being so little but loving Star Wars and having my face painted as Paul Stanley from KISS. Honestly if I got hold of a Time Machine I’d go back to the 70s and never come back
The gold and green living room looked just like my grandmother's house! What a flashback rush ☺️
Thank you for watching and sharing about your grandmother's house. Seemed like everyone had a gold chair too.
Yeah he really nailed it on the colors of the 70's, so unique, kind of cheesie but at the same time cool.
Born in '67 Can relate to everything!!!!
Loved the 70's!!!! Awesome times!!!!
Easy living!!!!
Yes it was! Thank you for watching Mike!
I remember the 70's. To me it was a greater time than I was living in than today!
Born in 57.The 70's were the best decade
"I'm just a bill yes, I'm only a bill and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill..." Will forever be in my brain!
Lol. Me 2. I always felt bad for the bill. But I catch myself singing that dam song.
@@salvatorerizzo8640 glad I'm not alone!🤣
Don’t forget, “Conjunction Junction, what’s your function…”. I found the entire set of these on DVD and played them for my kids years ago. Just classic!
@@kanenomoja yes! and yes! But the "Bill" is forever in my brain! 🤣🤣
@@pamelas1002 me, too!! Such great stuff.
Born in 72, watched re-runs of 60's TV sitcoms religiously, enjoyed riding my Huffy bike, saw the first Star Wars movie in the theaters in 77, played with all sorts of way cool toys, fondly remember 70's kid shows like The Muppet Show and New Zoo Revue, looked forward with eager anticipation to birthdays and holidays, played little league baseball, started taking guitar lessons, enjoyed hanging out in my uncle's apple orchard, was fascinated with anything related to dinosaurs, loved watching those old Godzilla movies, etc. This list could go on and on, and it just proves what an awesome decade the 70's were for me. I wish I had total recall and could remember every last detail of that time in my life!
It was a great decade and you definitely have some special memories associated with it. I feel like it was completely different than how things are now for kids. They certainly have no idea how it is to wait for the Muppet Show to come on. You certainly couldn't play it anytime you wanted. Same thing with Saturday Morning Cartoons. I was like you in that I wanted a lot of old shows in syndication. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I was also born in '72 and was also into a lot of the things you mention. Star Wars was a huge of part of my childhood and still a big part of my life....the pre-1997 Star Wars, that is. Before it went downhill beginning with the Special Editions to today's Disney Wars, which I will never acknowledge as canon or consider it as Star Wars at all.
That was my youth area also was born in 1965.
Giant robot , sigmund the sea monster , porky’s lol ..
Don't forget Lancelot Link Secret Chimp, The Banana Splits, H.R. Puff n Stuff, etc!!!
I loved the 70’s! Sometimes I think I’m still stuck in them 😂
Born in 59, my kids and grand kids make fun of me all the time. My tube socks and coaches shorts the music I still listen to. How I miss the 70s.😢
I wish I could go back in time to that decade. It had bad things, sure, but domestically it was wonderful!
Loved this, what a flood of great memories. I need a time machine, I want to go back! 😊😊
Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad it sparked some memories.
I know right? I just commented the same thing.
Get a life!!
Tang was gross it didn't have a. Orange like taste it tasted like Tang@!!!
Ditto!!!🤗
I was a teenager in the 70's in Germany, bell-bottom jeans,disco dancing,Bee Gees... Best times of my live. Thanks Rhett for this cool video. Stay safe out there. 💕
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching. There were a lot of good things from the 70s. I've sure seen a lot of girls this year wearing the bell bottom jeans.
Army brat, Leighton barracks Wurzburg Germany. Where were you at?
@@gideoncampbell8335 I was born in Germany.
Same here. 1967
Me too (teenager in the 70's)
Graduated from high school in '73. Great time to be alive. We were still a fairly civil society. I truly miss those days. They weren't perfect, but dang sure better than the dystopian nightmare we're living in now.
I was born in 1958, the 60s and 70s was so great, man I miss those years,
58 baby here as well.
Born in early ‘62.
The 70s was an amazing decade of family, friends, and memories made!!
I’d go back in a heartbeat !!!
Thanks for the memory trip😀
I remember all of this.. I even had a mood ring.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memory of the time.
I was born in May of 1965 and the 70s were awesome to grow up in! Spider bikes, skateboarding, riding in huge cars (without seatbelts), the many different toys, cartoons, American Bandstand, Soul Train, and many other great shows. Just too many things to mention!
Such great memories!
It was the best decade! 8 track,bell bottom jeans, clackers and shag carpet 😍
I graduated in 77 and I can remember all of this and more! Wonderful time to be in!
Yes it was! Thank you for watching!
Same!
I'm glad to be born in 1964. Simplicity was the thing. I liked the music and television. We have imaginations. I wouldn't want to be a kid now. My two children were born in 1991 and 1996 and I made sure their childhoods were good. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
People were creative in the 70s. Today, we just sit back and let technology do almost everything for us. Mindlessness! And I see it as dangerous.
I turned 14 in 1970, it was a great age to be. still some childhood left but old enough to enjoy the music and times as the decade and my age increased.
