What were the 1970s about?
"If the decades are characterized stereotypically, the '50s were uptight and fearful, the '60s were turbulent and optimistic, and the '80s were crass and commercial.

AI Answers says "The vibe of the 1970s was a mix of rebellious youth culture, political turmoil, economic uncertainty, and a sense of disillusionment with the establishment"
I've been going through some stuff at work where I haven't felt excited or energized or inspired.
But also https://www.reddit.com/r/AskOldPeople/comments/i92pjl/what_were_the_70s_like/ seems like a lot more personal of a take on things.
Everyone.. was on drugs. People were going to the moon, guess that's pretty cool. There was a lot of crazy driving.
I really enjoy this music because the nostalgia is high and the music is so smooth.
Looking forward to watching this movie again.
