Glad to have grown up in the 1970s and 1980s?

[Tarifa]

I could change the 70s in the drawing for the 80s. Point is, no-one ever found out what we were up to. We could get away with a lot. Hardly any cameras around to record it.

[Lliam]

Totally. I grew up in the '60s. I am soooooo glad that there were no digital phone cameras back the day. I did a lot of stupid and illegal shit that, gratefully, hasn't been preserved.
And nothing was digitized. Not police records or medical records. Your auto insurance didn't know about your driving record. What went on between you and your doctor wasn't accessible by medical insurance companies or government.

Yes, life was different. It just seemed like life was not as rushed and money wasn't everything. Even though the sexual revolution was going on, people were not in such a rush to have sex. The music was amazing and muscle cars were still a thing.

[Tarifa]

Muscle cars were a big thing. They weren't the crazy expensive cars you see today full of electronic gizmos, traction control or drive modes. Just raw power to the wheels.

[exitseven]

Yes, My fther had a Mercury Cougar. That car could lay a patch all the way down the street.

Thanks for the MHO

the days of pure JOY

I am glad I experienced that awesomeness no holds barred.

we had canyon trails down to the freeway that went down a huge slope and we took cardboard boxes and slid down to the freeway lolol

what did u do exciting

[Tarifa]

Loads of stuff. Jumping over creeks, where we barely made it to the other side. No adults in sight if we got into trouble.

Tying a rope to a bicycle and letting us drag around on a skateboard. Trying to set some crazy speed limit downhill.

Every scar tells a story.

[CherryLove007]

oh yes the crazy speed limits on the hills... I witnessed my friend flipped over her bike because her purse got caught in the spokes.

[Tarifa]

LOL Yet we all walked back home and, as long as the bruises weren't visible, we didn't tell anyone.

[CherryLove007]

yep and some bruises really did hurt for days

[sage2021]

I am so happy that I grew up in the 70's!!
It was the best of times for sure!!

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO 😀

[Clear_Skies10]

Yeah I don't know how people even enjoy themselves at parties these days. You can't even dance with somebody you meet, or kiss them without 3 people standing there recording it and posting it online. I quit drinking all together as well.

[acooke-13]

I wish I had that, It sounds fun. I am glad however, that I was the last of the generations to experience a childhood without phones, i-pads and social media!

[DeeDeeDeVour]

The '80s was an incredibly entertaining and interesting era.

[mysteriousNicholas]

I prefer to appreciate Austin Powers films ✌️ and groovy vibes. That's - all 📱 💻🖥️ I love my modern tech

[FunkyMonkee]

Glad to have grown up in the `60's and early `80's!

[Shiprex]

Yes it was freeing and today seems much less community based.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I saw Henry Aaron's then-MLB record 715th homer Apr.8,1974 (I guess at 20, I was a chronological adult), so in that case, DEFINITELY !!!

[Nikki1989]

I was born in 1989. It was a curse.

[Sal_Monella]

I was 18 in 1966. Include the 60s. Yes. But The Nam in the 70s was not much fun.

[andreasderjuengere]

I found the 70's to be mostly silly overall.

[DrPepper12]

My kids marvel at my stories of my feral childhood.

[AviatorTom]

Those were good times.

[Anonymous]

70s, 80s, and 90s were the best.
