do you know anything about the 1970's?

Question

Fashion, music ANYTHING

Answer 1

pot and bell bottoms

Answer 2

Yes. I do as a child. Music were songs like Down in the boondocks,Creedence Clearwater Revival, Smoke on the water by Deep Purple,Three Dog Night, the song Pieces of April. Jimmie Hendrix and Janis Joplin still prevailed. The Vietnam War was at a close. Richard Nixon was President. Woodstock was alive. Armstrong walked on the moon. Fashion were bell bottom pants and tshirts with logos. And smoking weed was the rage among the hippies. Too many bands to mention all the great music of that time.Those were the best of times and the worst of times it seems. Many changes took place in those years.Terrific things happening when you are 7 years old.

Answer 3

Well as you have seen in previous answers the bell bottom pants and hip hugger as we called them were very popular. the shirts tended to be like the baby doll style, similar to what came out in 2006 in some fashion stores. Seersucker material made a big hit in the fashion industry, anything from pants ,jackets, or full suits were made from it. Free spirit was heavy, part of the hippie era was going Strong. The free love type of thing the flower child born of free love. The music, The Beach boys, Stevie Miller Band, Led Zeppelin, RDO speedway Simon and Garfunkel. Just to name a few. The Vietnam War also happened. You will be able to find all kinds of history there. Hair fashion, there was none guys let it grow long and girls basic long parted down the middle. At that time of my life I was a teenager and there was alot of pot and alot of drug abuse. Mushrooms and acid were right up there with the pot scene ,also alot of toole oil sniffing . Hope this answered some of your questions.

Answer 4

The fashion is hard to explain, a good movie to watch to get an idea of the fashion is Dazed and Confused. The music was pretty cool...depending on your tastes...there was the mellow stuff like "dream weaver" by Gary Wright, funk like Curtis Mayfield and George Clinton, disco, hard rock (Alice Cooper, KISS) and pop like Elton John and BeeGees, also country music had quite a few hits. Movies there was Star Wars, Cheech and Chong. TV--Charlie's Angels, Hawaii 5-0, numerous game shows, Diff'rent Strokes, Facts of Life. Hair styles...the "Farrah" which is wavy with the sides kinda like wings, mullet, afro, long and straight. To get more ideas see That 70s Show or VH1 has a neat thing called I love the 70s or something like that.

Answer 5

Yes Women's Rights Movements were coming into affect, Gay Rights Movement came into effect, single parent households began to occur, and withdrawal from Vietnam were some thing of the era. Also the infamous Battle Of The Sexes between Billie Jean King, and Bobby Riggs happened in 1973. Just so you know also Billie won that match against Bobby. Overall the seventies were a time of change and new development as some problems like racism were beginning to be fixed in the sixties. So it's kind of like a little of some stuff left over from the sixties also like hippies while focusing on some issues that have not quite been addressed yet like some of the issues I addressed earlier.

Answer 6

I was born in 1964 and so in the 70's, I was an emerging teen. I remember how best selling movies stayed at a single theater for months (Star Wars stayed at one theater for 3 years!) because there was no such thing as video and the only way to see any rated movie was to catch it at a theater. I remember the wide neckties and bell-bottomed jeans. Slick, silklike polyester shirts with long, pointy collars lived a short but popular life. Children walking arm-in-arm or hand-in-hand or boys with arms around each others shoulders was common, innocent and a non-homosexual act of comraderie. Men wore thei hair a little long and women had "flat" dull hairstyle...except Farrah Fawcett.

Answer 7

It was the period of the first oil crisis. It was also the time when the US started to access its losses and lessons learnt in the Vietnam War. Space travel interest also waned when the last ship returned from the moon.

It was also the beginnig of Islamic extremism. There was also a growing fear of communist expansion and the continuation of the Cold War.

Dress code had also become more casual with more people dressing in T shirts and jeans.

Things were also becoming more Japanese with the introduction of cheap but durable Japanes products like cars, electronio devices, etc.

Hope this helps.

Answer 8

Yea, I grew up in the 70s. In fact, I'm kind of lost in the 70s and back then, music was my thing. It was the time for Rock-n-Roll and some of the worlds greatest rock artists lived, played and died. A time of bell bottoms, head bands and sandals. It was when the establishment was the enemy (yes I know they still are the enemy) and it was the time of peace and love.


Damn, this is making me home sick.

Answer 9

Crushed velvet, long vests with beads, hot pants, anything by 'the Spinners","The Stylistics"or, the "O'jays". The 70's also spawned Disco. 'Nuff said!

Answer 10

Rent the movies 54 and Son of Sam, they are set in that decade.

Answer 11

Dad and Mom made me in 1970 and I was born in 1971. :) hehe
