1976 had a special air to it, that made people collectively let their guard down and start enjoying life in a more committed way, shoulders were loosened and hips were swaying to the beat of the year.
The biggest issue people had was whether they wanted to hang in parking lots or go to an extremely cheap concert of their favorite band.
We look back and think this people were at their peak in 1976, and that’s because they truly were. People moved slow but everything else was all the way up.
