1970-1979

I think of the '70s as spanning from 1971 to 1979.


I think the '70s is one of the few decades that doesn't really have a "forerunner" in the '60s (e.g. the way that, say 1988 had some very prequel '90s-ish things). Their beginning sort of is the end of the excessive "Woodstock" type '60s, and the general start of the modern political era. Yeah, I agree 1971 was a changeful year on that end.

To be precise, I'd put 1971-mid 1981 as the "70s" even though they peaked more around 1977, and the "80s" starting coming up in 1979.

I agree. In alot of ways, you could say the change between the late '60s and the early '70s was more like the change between, say, the early and mid '90s. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was a sea change in terms of the general pop climate, and a big progression. The '70s to me was roughly 1971-mid 1981, though late 1979 was the first period that didn't quite "vibe" '70s, with stuff like "My Sharona" coming up, even though that took alot from glam rock.

One argument is that, really, 1969 or so was the '70slike part of the '60s, and that isn't said much. Bands like Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and the Velvet Underground (who are a prequel to all alt rock and new wave, arguably) started coming out then, and heavy metal started coming out then. The first half of the '70s was a progression of the last part of the '60s, though it was very different in terms of the way people thought and you could say it was a transitional period between the super socially-activist mid-late '60s and the late '70s, which was the beginning of the "me generation." It was the period when the changes of the '60s got absorbed into society, though there was a general feeling of defeat then that was so distinctly un-'60s. Also, the '60s were silly, when you get beyond all the serious stuff they tried to put on, whereas the '70s were high camp, and stuff like Elton John, David Bowie, etc. from the first half of the '70s was very high camp in the vein of disco.

Also, there was some stuff from say 1974 that was "late '70s." Disco first appeared out of the underground then with stuff like "More More More" by Andrea True and there was Kraftwerk around then.

Agreed. I once read a book that said "Born to Be Wild" was the first true heavy metal song and that was from '68. I suppose in some slight ways, 1968 and '69 are like a "heavier, more gritty" 1967.

You could argue 1968-74/75 was sort of a mini era unto itself.

Yeah, the political and social ideas which got rolling in the mid '60s (as well as earlier) really got "secured" by 1971 or so. I'm sure by then, people knew we weren't going to be dealing with segregation or colored water fountains and sections of busses anymore.

Yeah...even 1968 was different from 1972 in a ton of ways. Like, back then, in my mom's school system (in a well-to-do suburb) girls had to wear skirts to school. By 1972, that seemed pretty far off.

There were some "'70s songs in the '60s." "Born to be Wild" definitely falls into this category, and so does something like "Inna Gadda Da Vida" or "Mississippi Queen", or any early Bowie or Floyd or Iggy Pop stuff from around 1969.

Do you agree about that shift, from whimsy to camp? The 1964-1966 period with all the Motown and British Invasion, and to a lesser extent, the psychedelic pop and bubblegum pop of the late '60s (most of which was pretty light and insubstantial), had a major sea change to heavy camp like Black Sabbath c. 1971.

Definitely. I think the mid '60s pop was alot more "innocent/lighthearted". I was also thinking not too long ago about how I always felt the '50s ended when JFK was shot in late '63. While I think a good bulk of it did end then, I actually think some stuff up through 1966 is a bit "quasi '50s" - songs like "Baby Love" by the Supremes.

Even though the '60s pretty much began when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan (exploding them and starting Beatlemania) in Feb. 1964, I don't think the '50s totally ended until 1967. 1968 was a more "dark, intense" 60s.

Yeah...though it wasn't influenced so much by the "'50s" '50s, like say 1955, it was influenced by stuff from around 1961 or 1962 like the Shirelles and the Ronettes heavily.

Some other stuff I'd put as the '70s in the '60s, to a degree:
-Sly and the Family Stone.
-Some of the Rolling Stone's and the Who's stuff from c. 1969.
-The Velvet Underground (White Light White Heat has a very intense, unlistenable "noise" feel to it)

When I think of something archetypically '60s, it's the Mamas and the Papas, the mid-'60s Beatles stuff like Rubber Soul and Revolver, or SPLHCB, or Motown.

Yeah, that was more like an evolution of what I call "the quiet era" (1959-most of '63) like the calm before the storm in that the teen rebellion, rock and rolling, malt shop '50s was declined, but before the "60s" 60s exploded.

If someone from 1962 woke up in 1965, they would probably think "My Girl" or some of the more poppy, early Beatles (i.e. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand") was a natural evolution of their current music, whereas they would not expect something like The Kinks or the Stones.

Yeah, exactly. All of that was an evolution of stuff from around 1962. Like "Shop Around" was from around then, and it's barely distinguishable from something from 1965. The Stones, however, were hard-rocking and bluesy and very far from anything from 1961 or 1962.

Even though Beatlemania and the 1964ish era in general marked a new pop culture and sort of made the '50s look "older", I almost think it was sort of a mainstream-ized '50s that was finally allowed to exist freely.

In other words, sure, rock and roll was existant in the '50s, but I almost get the feel part of its appeal was a rebellion against the conservative feel of the times. Like it was more the 15 and 17 year olds of 1956 who dug it, but guys like James Dean and Elvis were too "on the edge" and rebels to really break through. Whereas by 1964 it was more like kids, some older people and middle America were finally starting to "accept/embrace" it if that makes any sense.

Yeah. Like people from my mother's sister's age, who was 6 in 1965, to people my grandmother's age, who were 37 in 1965, all liked some stuff like the Beatles and Motown, or Petula Clark and whatnot.

Same here. My mom was 10 in 1964 and really liked the early Beatles and all that. So did my grandma, who was born in 1928 (mid 30s at the time), although my 1915er grandpa (who died before I was born), apparently thought it was noise. ;D He didn't hate it or anything, but thought it was just silly stuff kids were into.

I would argue the '60s were the very beginning of the over 26 crowd getting into music and pop culture (since it was now "safer" than it was in the '50s), although it's probably more like 1937ers+ who are guaranteed to enjoy some pop culture from their adult years (i.e. anyone who was under 18 when Elvis got popular).

There was definitely an adult pop culture of the late '50s and early '60s, though-lounge jazz, film noir movies, Peggy Lee. And meanwhile, the under 26 crowd tended to like rock.

Our grandparents are actually the same age....my grandmother was born in 1928, and my grandfather was born in 1914 or so. I think somebody born in 1928 can relate more to that sort of music, since they were teens during the Sinatra era.

Yeah, I'd say 1925-35 born folks are sort of the "mild rock fan/accepting of it" range. Even though Sinatra was more old-styled in sound, his lifestyle was sort of a precursor to the rock era, and he was kind of a rebel. Right after he died, in fact (back in '98) I read some stuff about his earlier life and it actually sounded pretty cutting edge for its time.

It's weird how different some late 30s people are. My dad is a 1938er and centers on the 60s (as far as pop and rock music goes) although enjoys some things up through 1986/87. However, his best friend, also a '38er never made it much past the '50s pop culturally and even views the Beatles and such as slightly past his time, from what I recall (don't get me wrong, he's a really nice guy, one of those "play cards with the boys and have a beer" types, but isn't as liberal or pop culture centered).

1970-1979

I really think that 1970 has been neglected here, a lot happened back then.

I see the years 1973-1982 as the 70's era. I'd say it began in 1973 as this was the year the US pulled out of Vietnam, Glam Rock exploded into the mainstream, (with various musical acts such as Elton John, Slade and David Bowie popularizing it as a genre) disco even began to emerge in this year, (but of course, it wasn't popular until late '74/early '75) and the hippie counterculture was pretty much dead. The first shift toward 80's music (new wave, synthpop etc.) came in 1979 and by late 1982 it broke into the mainstream when Michael Jackson's thriller came out. So overall, I'd say the 70's began in early '73 when US pulled out of the Vietnam War and ended when Michael Jackson's thriller album was released in late 1982, so to be exact the 70's era span from January 27, 1973 to November 30, 1982.

Yes, I've always felt that way. I remember there was a 70's nostalgia website where a woman, who grew up in the 70's as a teenager, had the whole website showing her diary entries from 1971+.

I also felt that the 80's outshined the 70's in many ways, so that the 70's is always overshadowed by the 1960's and 1980's. Some people feel like the 1970's was just an extension of the 1960's revolution.

Definitely. I think the mid '60s pop was alot more "innocent/lighthearted". I was also thinking not too long ago about how I always felt the '50s ended when JFK was shot in late '63.

There are some songs in the late 60's that are still somewhat 50's. I'm sure there are a few songs in the early 70's that sounded like the 1950's. I believe some people didn't want to let go of that 'innocent' 1950's era so easily. It was safe and comfortable. I always felt like the Vietnam war ending in 1975 REALLY ended that whole 'gee whiz, gee golly' era of America.

For me, I see the 70s as 1969-1981 for various reasons.

1. 1969 was the year when Major League Baseball finally got through divisions, thus creating the League Championship Series. As a result, it led to the '69 Miracle Mets WS win against the Orioles. It also started several dynasties with the Mets, Orioles, Royals, Pirates, and even the Phillies.

2. The Super Bowl was starting to become an American tradition thanks to the AFL-NFL merger in the early 70s. Along with the Colts, Dolphins, Cowboys, Vikings, and Steelers taking the fame throughout the 70s.

3. Nixon was inaugurated by 1969, which hyped into the counter culture that Baby Boomers developed during the late 60s/early 70s.

4. Hanna-Barbera dominated the Saturday morning cartoon industry thanks to their countless franchises, which were widely popular during the 70s.

5. Slashers were developing into a sub genre of horror movies in the late 70s/80s, which led to the downfall of the 70s.

6. Disco was starting to ween off from the mainstream public between 1979-1981, when neonpop started to take over.

7. During the 1980 election, people were getting tired with (Jimmy) Carter as president, which led through Reagan being elected in the same year.

For me, I see the 70s as 1969-1981 for various reasons.

Hanna-Barbera actually was quite popular for most of the '60s as well, even in 1960 where its Yogi Bear and a Top-Cat like character were featured as segments in the long-forgotten kids show (unless if you're a nostalgic Baby Boomer) "The Magic Land of Alakazaam", featuring Mark Wilson. This aired on Saturday Mornings as well, and there would be many more to come well before Scooby-Doo, including reruns of the Flinstones, The Jetsons, along with originals like Johnny Quest and George of the Jungle. I'd actually push the start of the seventies to Kent State in May 1970, since earlier that spring, you had the Beatles officially breakup and the first Earth Day, the last real hippie movement. It was also the point that hippie culture was starting to be seen that it was on its way out compared to its late '60s peak. That said, the '70s are a lot like the '50s and '90s in that each half is wildly different (Korea/pop crooners vs. Space Race/rock 'n roll, Vietnam/singer-songwriter pop vs. developing Middle East tensions/disco, The post-communist era/grunge vs. the new Internet economy/pop rap & teen pop).

Some mentioned the '70s about being the first "modern" decade in cinema, but I differ and see the '80s as that. This was the last decade before the cinema business evolved into its modern camp of formulaic blockbuster vs. independent art house, with a few crossovers that happen to wow everyone. Even little things like copyright notices on theatrical ads didn't appear until around 1975/76, and adult movies had their golden age, thanks to the recent introduction of the MPAA ratings system, before VHS made X-rated theaters start their decline. Individual single or double-screen theaters were still the norm until late in the decade when multiplexes started to take off. It was also a bit of a renaissance following a slump in the '60s thanks to the high attention of the small screen that decade. Actors/actresses like William Holden, Steve McQueen, Faye Bunaway, Ava Gardner, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Mel Gibson, Michael Moriarty, Yaphet Kotto, Susan Blakely, Gene Rowlands, Ellen Burstyn, Kris Kristofferson, as well as older stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, and Paul Newman to name a few showed that the stars were still seen as real talents, since entertainment news still focuses on the product and not the people behind the product. These are also stars (even the younger ones) that most people think of as living legends or forgotten gems if they're still alive.

A lot of people put the end to Old Hollywood at about 1965/1966. So I can see why he sees the 1970's as the first full modern decade for Hollywood.

My father dated from 1922 and my mother was of 1935 vintage but they couldn't stand popular music. Occasionally my mother would ask me to buy a record she particularly liked but it was corny, cheesy stuff such as 'Save Your Love' by Renee and Renato or 'Mull Of Kintyre' by Wings.

My mother was born in the late 1940's, but still loved 1980's music, when she was in her 40's.

I'm younger than that but I hated most of the 1980s music.

What is the 1970's? An amazing decade for movies, music, and television.

What about 1964? How could you exclude that from the 60's era when that year saw the start of Beatlemania and the British Invasion.

A lot of people put the end to Old Hollywood at about 1965/1966. So I can see why he sees the 1970's as the first full modern decade for Hollywood.
