Always the simple question on this site..... ;)
The sixties were about challenging authority and boundaries; the space race was the geek version, the counterculture and rock music were the cool version.
The seventies were about "live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse." John Belushi is a good poster child for the 1970s. See the film "Looking for Mr Goodbar" - excellent portrait of the 1970s.

A new generation learning their identity and just how different they were from their parent's generation.
