The 1970s Summed Up In Nostalgic Photos

It was wild. It was weird. It was wonderful. Let’s go back.

By Micaela Montaña

Published 2 months ago in Feels

Welcome to the decade where everything was too much and that’s exactly why we loved it. The ‘70s weren’t edited, filtered, or fact-checked. They were loud. Unapologetic. Sometimes weird. Always iconic.


These aren’t just snapshots, they’re time capsules sealed with duct tape and disco sweat. Each photo hits like a forgotten Polaroid found in your attic: bold colors, big hair, even bigger personalities. From roller-skate royalty to avocado-colored everything, the ‘70s knew how to commit to a look, a moment, a mood.


This is when couches were orange, cars were boats, and nobody had heard of gluten. It was fuzzy rugs, sunken living rooms, and that one uncle who always smelled like Brut cologne and rebellion.


Scroll carefully. These photos bite. They’re groovy, gritty, glorious and they don’t care what decade it is. Click in, bell-bottoms first.
