I've been consuming a lot of older American pop culture recently and one thing that struck me was the vast difference in tone the 70s had.
As a child of 90s (technically born in the 80s) I had a sense of the differences between 80s culture and 90s culture. I also mentally had some sense that the 50s were a different time, but my brain lumped the 60s and 70s together.
But going back and reading books, watching TV shows, and listening to music from both eras there's a notable and stark contrast between the two decades.
Frankly I have to say that the 70s are far and away my least favorite era of American popular culture. It doesn't fit my tastes at all, to the point where it almost feels like a 'lost decade' to me.
In short, I'd dread having to live through it if we were to revert.
