What was it like to grow up in the Seventies in America? What was the culture like? What was popular? What did you do for fun? We hear a lot about life in the Sixties but not nearly as much about the Seventies, so how was life in the decade before the '80s?

The gas crunch.

Odd/even days at the gas stations. And all of 'em were full service.

The best Rock 'n' Roll ever. Pop music was pretty good too, 'cept for that one little fad called Disco.

Our family was introduced to cable TV in 1979. I think by then everyone had a color TV, even though you could still buy a B&W one fairly cheap.

Touch tone phones became hip.

The Brady Bunch.

I was born in 71, so I was a little kid in the 70s. Naturally, my perspective would be different than that of someone who was older.

We lived in a big neighborhood full of families and we kids were outside ALL THE TIME. (That can't be stressed enough.) We kids ran in packs in the neighborhood and were always playing games or riding bikes. Our parents didn't really know exactly where we were generally...they just knew that we were in the neighborhood with the other kids and we'd come back before dinner. In the summer, we all went out again after dinner to play Spotlight (hide-and-seek with flashlights) in the dark.

Where I lived, the sport every kid did was swimming. We all swam (competitively) in the summer leagues and then in the winter, we swam with the Y leagues. Football, basketball, and baseball were standard, too. Soccer was unheard of. (Seriously...I'd never heard of or seen soccer until the 80s.) Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts -- beginning with Cub Scouts and Brownies -- were fairly big. And we all ran road races. They were everywhere! All our parents ran, and we kids ran, too. I just did the 1 and 3 mile fun runs. My mom did the 10Ks. My dad and brother did the 10Ks, the half-marathons, and the short triathelons.

Pizza Hut was probably our favorite place to go as a group.

In the summers, the local movie theatres did weekly movies for the kids. Our parents would drop us off at the theatre in the morning (with our paper-bags of home-popped popcorn) and we'd watch crazy, cheesy movies like "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger." In the summers, we also camped. In my neighborhood, there was a huge group of families that banded together and camped every fourth of July for a couple weeks -- tent camping, power-boating, water-skiing. I always hated it when my parents bought generic sodas to take with us, but the grape soda was okay.

My favorite candy bar was a Marathon bar: a foot-long strip of chocolate-coated braided caramel. The wrapper had the inches marked off. Banana popsicles were also a fave. In the summer, we all got snow cones from the ice cream trucks that came through the neighborhood.

Every room in our house had carpet that was a different color than in the other rooms...like a patchwork quilt. Very ugly! Most of the rooms in our house had wallpaper. We had flatware with wooden handles -- very popular in the 70s -- and macrame was EVERYWHERE. We got our first microwave in the 70s and it was HUGELY exciting. Cable television came into our lives for the first time then as well.

We had AWESOME Saturday morning cartoons and watched them faithfully every week.

Our parents smoked like crazy, and drank a fair bit, too. They got together regularly with other couples to play bridge.

We didn't have babysitters. We came home from school -- rode the bus -- and were alone until our parents got home. If our parents went out at night, we were generally left to fend for ourselves. I don't recall EVER having had a babysitter.

We had a totally rockin' 70s van with the plush shag carpet and velour captains chairs.

Tetherball, Lawn Darts (!!!), Spirograph, Mouse Trap, Operation, Life, Battleship, Lite Brite, Monopoly, Uno.

HeeHaw

Eddie Rabbit, Kenny Rogers, the Oak Ridge Boys

Every time we saw a VW Beetle on the road, we kids would punch each other: "Punch bug BLUE!" "Punch bug RED!"

Amongst my friends, we had no perception of status symbols. We were all the same. Clothing didn't matter, looks didn't mater. I don't recall there being a lot of racism, but there also wasn't a lot of blending. There were a few black kids in my classes, but not many. I got into a fight with one black girl who called me "honey-child" because I thought she called me a bad word. It was her tone of voice, I guess. We slapped at each other, girl-style, and then the next day she taught me a hand jive that became our favorite thing to do on the playground.

Oh...playground: Red Rover, Simon Says, and jumping rope. All huge. And every time I hear the song "Celebration" I think of being in the 4th grade and having a jump-rope competition at school. In PE, they taught us square dancing. (I loved it!)

I was born in 1970.

-Video arcades and video games Atarii in particular. Pac Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong....
If there is one thing that screams 70's it's this.
-In some areas cable TV
-VCR's started to come around

Baseball was still really popular, the world series was a big deal.

Dukes of Hazard, Fantasy Island and SNL was actually funny back then.

Big cars were around then, and they were reduced in size around 1978 for fuel economy. I remember shortly after I turned 17, it was around this time of the year in 1973, when my father had to wait in long lines at the gas stations. Gas prices were around 32 cents a gallon earlier in the year, then I remember gas shortages in the spring and summer of '73 caused gas prices to jump up to... 69 cents a gallon! Then came the October war in the middle-east between Israel and it's neighboring Arab countries, and the OPEC oil embargo that followed because of the United States' support for Israel. That caused even more gas shortages and gas prices shot up to around a 1.00 a gallon.

Cars from the 1970s - The performance and the quality of cars from Detroit went downhill around 1974 because of tough economic times, and due to the OPEC oil embargo, the so-called "Big 4" auto-makers had to compromise on performance and reduce weight to improve the gas mileage. I know when the 1974 Mustang II first came out, it was a joke, and it looked like a big Pinto, with a 4-cylinder engine. They also put the 302 V-8 in them, but they were pathetic and nowhere near in the level of performance compared to the ones that were made up until 1973. Car models like the Chevy Vega, the Ford Pinto, Dodge Dart, Plymouth Valiant, Chrysler Imperial, AMC (American Motors Company) had the Matador, the Pacer, and othes that competed with the models that were made by the other big 3.

Music of the 1970s - Most will probably put that in one word - Disco! Not me, I hated Disco, in fact I had a t-shirt that had the famous caption "Disco Sucks!" on it! - Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, The Village People, KC and The Sunshine Band, among many othes were the big Disco stars of that era. The popularity of Disco eventually diminished in the early 1980s. Rock 'n Roll was still king however, the big bands were Led Zeppelin, Reo Speedwagon, Bad Company, Chicago, Jethro Tull, The Eagles, and a new type of Rock 'n Roll came about in the early 1970s. It originated from the South, and appropriately called "Southern Rock", with bands like Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatchet, The Charlie Daniels Band, ZZ Top and a few others. Also, in late 1977, a new band came about that gave birth to a whole new style of Rock 'n Roll, when Van Halen's first album came out. Eddie Van Halen showed his flashy guitar style, with David Lee Roth's high-energy vocals, along with Alex Van Halen's drumming, and Michael Anthony's bass, who added to the rhythm section.

Movies - The Godfather, Star Wars, Jaws, Saturday Night Live, the Airport series of movies, which were sequels of the original Airport movie that originally came out in late 1969 or 1970, continued with Airport 75, Aiport 77, and Airport 79.

TV Shows - Big hits were Dallas in the late 1970s, along with S.W.A.T, the Love Boat, CHiPs, and Fantasy Island. There wee a number of the so-called "sit-com" (situation comedy) shows, although some were not really considered "comedy", but they still offered some laughs for the entire family. Examples of such shows were The Brady Bunch, and The Partridge Family. Others like All In The Family and Three's Company were also very popular back then.

Fashions - Bell-bottom denim jeans went away around the early 1970s, but the denim remained, and the bell bottoms went to the Disco fashions. The "Plaid" pants were big back then too.. everytime I see myself in an old picture that was taken around 1975, and dressed in plaid pants, I laugh!

That's what I recall from the 1970s.

When they began, Vietnam was still going on but the hippies were starting to thin out. It took pot a few years to grow mainstream (by my early high school years late in the decade it seemed like I was the only one not smoking it). Then Nixon got in trouble and resigned. I got a pretty good laugh over his later rehabilitation, given how deeply and nationally he was excoriated. In a sense, he was the initiator of the modern political climate, where the good of the nation has ceased to factor and the only thing that matters is beating the other guy. This was confirmed when Ford promptly turned around and pardoned him.

The energy crisis was just unreal. What most people do not realize today is that in terms of relative purchasing power, the $4/gal spikes a couple years ago were probably less dramatic than what we saw in the early 70s, with gas lines around the block and rationing in place. Just as when gas was hovering around $0.80 in the late 1990s, it was actually a lot cheaper than the $0.25/gal I remember as the lowest price in my lifetime's awareness (late 60s). As ever, most people simply have no idea how to compare costs and values from one era to the next.

One big kerfluffle was the gas pumps. They were not digital--the numbers rolled on a spindle inside--nor were they equipped to show prices over $0.99.9. When gas cleared a buck a gallon, just about every gas pump in the country required a retrofit. What a goat rodeo.

A lot of new stuff came along: the desktop digital calculator (we were awed), video games (wanting an Atari in the mid-70s was like wanting a PS3 a couple of years back, only more so because there was nothing before it), and the fadeout of party lines. (Yes, they were a prime tool for snooping on your neighbors' conversations, and yes, that did occur. It was a punishable offense to fail to yield a party line if someone declared an emergency.)

Carter got elected just as the post-Vietnam national malaise was settling in. It lasted into the early 1980s. Might have been the worst president ever for the time in which we got him. Inflation up to double digits. Interest rates for borrowing up in the same neck of the woods. People with decent credit and income who do not buy houses now, at today's depressed mortgage rates and prices, simply have no idea of the historic buying opportunity before them, perhaps because it was before they were born. Carter's focus was to rag on the rest of the world to have better human rights. (Everyone ignored him.) That didn't do jack for our flopping national morale. The modern deification of the troops? Unthinkable. Did not exist. The military was outdated, had too many druggies, and the junior officer corps in particular was shaky. Good thing the Soviets didn't invade West Germany in 1976--they probably would have won. Happy Bicentennial.

Then comes the second defining event of the era after the energy crisis, the Iran hostage crisis. On top of that, we couldn't even make a rescue attempt without a desert disaster. In 1979, "person who burns flags" became synonymous in many minds with "Iranian" in many minds, and the term "Iran" acquired a lasting toxicity akin to that which "Jane Fonda" has with Vietnam vets. Every night on the national news, Walter Cronkite: "And that's the way it is, this 300th (or whatever) day of captivity for the American hostages in Iran." When I see Iran talking about getting nuclear weapons, it proves to me that they understand us as poorly as we understand them. They truly believe that we think like them--like pragmatic Near Easterners interested in bargaining, who understand the game. They have no idea. A lot of us in those days felt so infuriated that we would have welcomed and endorsed an air attack on Iran's population centers with weapons of mass destruction (not a chance under Carter), and some of us (emotionally, if not practically--and not everyone looks at such matters with a practical side) think it's long overdue. That generation--mine--is now starting to run the country. If Iran had any idea of how much lasting loathing it created by taking and keeping the hostages, and how gladly some people would open up on them even thirty years later, they would turn pale. They would immediately shut down anything and everything nuclear. They would not do the least thing to give an excuse to people who, at least on an emotional level, would love a pretext to even that score with modern weapons. I'm not saying this is the right idea for us as a nation today (at least not with my rational side...), just pointing out what kind of fire they are playing with. If they knew, and they are sane (and I think they are, at least when it comes to their own survival), they would throw a bucket of water on that fire and never light it again.

That's part of the reason the 1980 Olympic ice hockey victory meant so much, why everyone can remember where he or she was when we beat the USSR (probably glued to the TV; it should not be forgotten that we still had to beat a tough Finnish team to win the gold). We felt like a country that couldn't do anything right, couldn't even stop a bunch of radicals from invading our embassy and humiliating our people, couldn't rescue them without screwing up, completely demoralized. Then came the Olympics and something finally went right. I would describe the 1970s as a time of national pessimism, a sense that we had already lost the Cold War and were just waiting to be the last non-socialist country in the world, a time of things going wrong and government unable or unwilling to do a thing to fix them. We know now, of course, that it didn't all work out that way. But that's how it felt at the time.

I disliked the 1970s deeply. I remember them as a nearly unbroken string of bad news, failed leadership, and general impotence. I'd never want them back again. While we had a lot more freedom as kids--we were essentially still as free-range as kids of earlier decades--I for one had the sense that my parents' generation had completely boned the pooch and was going to leave it up to mine to clean up. And looking around at the people in my school, it seemed pretty obvious we would be too drunk, stoned and lazy to do that. (What I did not foresee was just how much worse they would screw it up; how, presented with golden opportunities, first the Boomers and then their successors would botch them.)

I graduated from high school in 1981 with a general sense of worse things to come, a very dystopian view of my country and even humanity. When the Berlin Wall fell, this dystopian view shook quite a bit--maybe I'd been wrong. Subsequent events proved that it had just been a temporary hiccup. I soon realized that our national psyche had to have its Emanuel Goldstein, a focus for regular sessions of the Two Minutes hate, and if the Soviet one were gone, we'd need a new one and we'd create it as necessary. Without an external enemy to direct the angst toward, it would find its direction inward, and a lot of people had a lot invested in that not happening.

Born in 1966, but the 70's were a blast

Everything that was said in above posts. We would play football all the time and I would pretend I was Roy Jefferson of the Redskins or Roger Carr of the (Baltimore) Colts. My friends had a big oak tree in their yard which had a rope swing that went back and forth about 70 feet off a short hill, one time I slipped off and nearly went through a wooden fence but wound up with a slightly sprained ankle.

Several of the houses in the area had crabapple trees and we would sometimes have crabapple fights or throw them at the Metrobuses as they passed by our street. When it snowed, we would get into tons of snowball fights, throw snowballs at the buses or occasionally cars. One day my friend hit a VW bug and the woman nearly jumped through the roof, it was hilarious.

In school, we played kickball, dodgeball, all the tag games, basketball, and soccer. Our playground equipment was made from solid pipes with aluminum sliding boards (nice and hot in the summer). If we weren't playing games, we would build dirt and mud forts and use army men for simulated battles.

The big thing was pinball for us. I would load up quarters and head over to the ice cream store which had 3 machines, the 7-11 game in the same shopping center had 2 of them. We would go the the local mall which had 2 arcades to play pinball or go see a movie.

We would be out from the time we got home from school until way past dark. My mom was a switchboard operator down the street and my dad was out of town a lot so I had to learn to cook using gas when I got home. I would cook a hot dog on a huge fork over the gas or cook a frozen hamburger in a pan then pretend I was at Roy Rogers (that's a fast food restaurant BTW) and put ham and cheese on my burger.

Great music, I'll add my favorite band Foreigner to the mix. Hated disco, but I remember my first junior high dance and requesting "Disco Duck"

The movies and TV shows were great, as was the music. I think American culture hit a peak in 70's, becoming the envy of Europe and the western world. Our way of life, fashion and music was desired, but for the first time in a long while, our American products were not. We were in deep trouble after the 73 oil embargo, Watgergate and the fall of Saigon really cut down our national pride. Ford and Carter could do very little to stop the recession. Remember the "Save a gallon of gas a week" and "Fifty Five's a friend" commercials the government put out to conserve energy. Escapism and exploring the newly relaxed social freedoms brought from the 60's was a keeping the US distracted while crime exploded along with inflation and unemployment. Good thing Reagan came along when he did, but for Iowa there was to be no recovery for another decade.

However, being a kid in the 70's was GREAT, our parents had all the worry, we had all the fun. The decade was taylor made from the 60's to be a playground for the youth. Old people hated it and would always say "This country is going to hell", and for many of them, their life was hell. Their life savings was reduced to nothing with year after year of inflation. Unless they kept it all in silver or gold and cashed it in 1980, those lucky 27 people retired like kings.

As kids we played outside alot, in the summer we went swimming at the pool all afternoon for a quarter, later on 50 cents, later on 75 cents...... Many times I would wear a pair of goggles to scope out the bottom of the pool for coins, found a $5 bill one time. Nerf footballs were alot of fun at the pool. We rode our bikes everywhere, played ball, croquet, yard darts and had lots of fun. I remember around the time the Amityville Horror came out we got together with the girls and would scare up some fun with those ouija boards. Those without one had to view their future with a magic 8 ball.

Saturday mornings we watched cartoons till noon (Scooby, Superfriends, Kroft Supershow, Oddball Couple, Pink Panter, Fat Albert) and then I was outta there before my sister (Shelly) had all her friends over to watch American Bandstand (no turds allowed). Most smaller towns here did not have cable to about 1980. There really wasn't much in the way of video games until then either, so you got together with your friends and thought up stuff to do. In the winters of the 70's there were many years we had alot of snow. We loved it, if school was canceled it was the greatest thing to stay home and watch the Price is Right, then go outside and play in the snow all day long. We made forts, snowmen, slid down hills on plastic roll up sleds, made snow angels, had snowball fights, shoveled out driveways to earn money, we cheered for snow to come, the more, the better.

It really was the last decade you had to think up your own entertainment, like sneaking into the truck driver dude's garage and getting into the 15 boxes of porno mags he had stashed in there. Yes, the 70's was the first decade of smut and WOW, talk about getting a fast education. That was really a big deal to get your hands on a Hustler magazine at the age of 10. Man did I get a whack upside the head when my mom found them magazines stashed away in the basement. Would of been better for me if I were caught with a bottle of Jack Daniels than what happened when she found those dirty magazines.

Kids were developing a taste for electronics such as handheld toys, digital watches, poloroid one step cameras, 8 track players and later cassette tape recorders, calculators, 12" B&W TV sets for their rooms, people listened to AM radio the first half of the 70's, FM the second half. If you had a pioneer AM/FM stereo cassette player in your car in 1978, you were super cool. You would never even dream of having a VCR hooked up to your TV, they cost thousands of dollars back then. You could get a coleco vision tennis game later in the 70's for not too much money.
