CMV: Disco is awesome and the 70s look like they were real fun.

Yes yes yes, it was a time when minority and female rights were shit and we shouldn't glorify that in any way. But it was also a period of intense EMERGING from these traditional views of ultimate white patriarchy. Natural hair for black people was in, the Black Power movement -- all these things might have been tumultuous, but it was a time when it was becoming more mainstream to embrace these ideas.

Also, the world wasn't constricted in the shackles of cell phones, internet, social media, all that crap. If you went on a road trip, you were out there with nothing but a map, your wits, and the help of others. It was a true adventure. Also, wasn't it like, safer to walk around downtown at night without having to worry as much about being raped and robbed? I mean, I know crime happened plenty, but I've heard over and over again that it was much safer and easier to be out at night, hitchhike, and talk to strangers.

Well, tell me, why did the 70s suck? Why is it viewed as such a cheesy time that people seem to hate? Why do people cringe when they hear Disco music? Have you seen videos of soul train? That shit looks like it was so much fun!! Also, the club scene looks like it was actually people DANCING, not just people grinding up against each other. Tell me why the 70s were in fact NOT awesome, especially if you were alive during that decade.

Crime in America peaked in the year 1980, by just about every measure. 

Crime has been falling ever since. 

The 1970-1980 period saw the greatest increase in crime, in all categories, America has ever known. 

So no, it wasn't safe to go outside. 

We feel less safe now, because we are constantly bombarded by news/media. 

But in terms of the actual quantity or crime, it's been downward trending since the year 1980. The 70s was terrible on that front.
