When thinking about the past, some decades are categorized in certain ways. Things have changed a whole lot over the past 50 or so years, and it is pretty crazy to think about how drastically everything has evolved and changed. It is even stranger when thinking about how relatively short that amount of time is… time is weird. There are some decades people reminisce about more, and the '70s are one of those decades.
The 1970s were an important decade and a pretty revolutionary time. Tons of major events and iconic people came from the decade to leave an everlasting mark on the world. The vibes were good, the design was bold and funky, and people remember the '70s as being a fun time. Generation X is the generation that is normally thought of when considering the 1970s.
The '70s are a decade to remember, and that can be done so through photos from the past. Here, we have collected 101 images straight from the 1970s for everyone to see and enjoy, no matter who they are.
