This one always starts a debate: what do you genuinely miss about everyday life in the 1970s, and what are you glad stayed in the past?

Family connection.

Born 1961 grad 1980 didn't know how good we had it. Sneak out at lunch  before or after school and smoke a doobie. Best music 1965 to 1985. Had a pinto wagon with jensen Tri-Axles speaker  damn that thing could crank Boston skynyrd Nazareth zz top just too many to name. Cruising up and down the main drag God I miss those days.

These take me back to happier and appreciative times in my life and didn’t have any depression then.

I remember in 1973 at 16 driving my 64 GTO to work at lunch time in high school. Work experience let us out early 11th and 12th  grade.
I worked at a Phillips 66 gas station. I remember the lines. Odd and even days. I made $1.75 an hour. It was great. Plenty of money to support
my car and pay for the prom. Mom and dad were secure. Dad worked a blue collar job welding at a factory. Supported us all on the one income.
My money was for me that I made. Pumping gas and changing oil in cars. Mom and dad my brother and I We were happy.

1970 was by far my favorite year.

The timeline here aligns with my life. I absolutely agree about many of the things stated here, but I'm not sure that I was personally happier then. The social connections of those days were impowering, but you were never satisfied with your standing within those groups. Loneliness played more of a part of my life than it does now. Almost no one was in therapy, not because they didn't need it, but because there was a social stigma and largely not available in some areas. If you were just like everyone else, you were gold. I had trouble being like everyone else, but celebrate it today.

I bought my first brand new car in 1971. It was a Camaro with a 350 and a 4-speed, and it stickered for just over $3,500. I got married in 1975. We bought our first new house in 1977. It costed $24,000. I didn’t make a lot of money, but you didn’t have to. We bought the house we live in now in 1978 for $28,000 and it is currently worth about ten times that! We have three children, and only one has managed to buy a modest home. She has been struggling financially and we have had to help her several times, or she wouldn’t have been able to keep it! Yes! The 70s were a great time to live. If I could, I would go back in a heartbeat.

The 1970's were awesome! Best time of my life! Society has always had it's share of issues but for me the 70's were amazing!

If you wore a helmet while riding a bike…you were picked on. 😂😂😂

Helicopter Parents ruined childhood.

@3:46  What in the hell are we looking at?

Watergate I though it was Nixons paranoia when he said the CIA framed him, now after what they did to Trump not so sure.

the 1970s was great, the days when baby boomers made money then got older and turned their money into corporations  putting a price on everything making things that were free or cheap disappear.
