I personally had a good time growing up in the 70s. Maybe it’s because I lived in a small town.
I was a little kid in that decade. I vaguely remember some cool muscle cars that came out in that decade and there was a lot of good music.
Then again I also remember great big wide collars, shag carpet and disco....which were not the height of good taste.....
Me too
We had a ball. Fast cars, long haired girls in miniskirts

Same, except I was a farm kid that lived a few miles from a small town. Got my drivers license in 70, and drove into the small town 2-3 times a week. By 74, so many of the girls close to my age were married, that I began driving to a metro area 25 miles away to seek the right girl. Found her there in 77. Married her in 78. Yep, a great decade in that respect.
The Carter administration was horrible, to say the least.

Same here. I had a blast. I went from 11-17 in the 70s.
Kind of like me, things were tough but we had a great time growing up. I watched Mom and Dad struggle at times but they persevered and I learned about the destructiveness of liberalism, love of country and the importance of God in my life from my parents in this decade.
Dad would rail at the commie Cronkit when the news came on and about the idiots in government trying to follow the road to Marxism and how the Soviets were so wonderful. He was a Goldwater conservative. Right now he wouldn’t cross the road to vote for 99% of the Republicans in the House or Senate.
I remember that time fondly. No matter what was going on in the world, I was a kid, then a teenager, my mom was alive, and there were good times and bad. Not such a terrible time to little Boomer me.
