Just a different birth year than the Leave it to Beaver group. Both are nostalgic for a time when minorities could be readily discriminated against, women could be treated like objects, and white men ruled everything.
The music might be different but the mentality is exactly the same.
I kind of thought the late 80s to mid 90s was cool.
Cool tech, social change, but no cell phone zombies yet.
Last vestiges of the original movie/music programming before it became all remakes and reboots and over-produced.

I was 18 in 1976. In many ways minorities had it better back then. It was before USSC decisions put stricter requirements on affirmative action programs.
Most of the civil rights advancements were in the 50s and 60s. I would say only homosexuals have made great progress since.
Of course the left has to bring race into everything.
As much as I love the 70s in some ways.....
1. The music
2. COL not being as expensive as right now
There is that other side
1. America financially, morally, emotionally broke!
2. Old New York rough and broke!
3. "Disco Dust"
4. Getting chased out of a "different" neighborhood
I know awful Jimmy Carter was elected that year, but 1976 is that sweet spot of the greatest time in this country. Right before we got all PC starting at the end of the 70s. After the war and immigration of schools.
You could actually discipline a kid in school and not be sued. You could have some friendly hazing in high school-college and parents wouldn't freak out.
No trophies being handed out for last place. So much more individual freedom.
It's another example of Trump being the greatest
Participation trophies are meaningless. No effect on today's youth that play sports in any fashion. Today's youth who participate in sports are more competitive, skilled and better then they were back in the 70's.
