Fads of the 70's

[OfficialJerla]

"Gary Dahl – A millionaire for selling rocks, pet rocks, enough said." LOL

[OfficialJerla]

I bet the guy who thought of the Pet Rock thing is swimming in money right now where he got lucky selling rocks to kids, tweens, and teens everywhere.

[Temibriz]

Trans ams Mustangs and Camaros were PONY CARS..NOT MUSCLE CARS.

The muscle cars were the GTO, Grand Torino, and Chevelle. Get your shit straight

[Aquahoma]

etch a sketch was in the 60's

[fruitsbasketmangalov]

i still love all of that

[Silentscreamer2009]

I love that Nostalgic feeling.

[SSCC2015]

Lol i saw a pic of my dad around his 20s and he was with a huge afro and a beard,shirtless with the hippie (or how its spelled) necklace

[TheZo4725lol]

thumbs if you're here because you wanted to see your parents' childhood XD

[theDudeAbides1100]

leave it to the dumbest nation in the world to buy pet rocks

[imawesome9176]

this has motivated me, (goes on ebay, buys pet rocks).

[Mizuumi18]

what kind of baby shit history class gave you credit for setting a slideshow of gis pictures of stereotypical 70's fads to music

[SilentFalcon123]

Thumbs if you bought a Pet Rock from ebay.

[acrovader]

We still have fruitcakes celebrating 'Earth Day' today.

[glazuna]

what's the point of this rock anyways?

[ParkerAlen213]

everybody had a nice car. and they were well built

[youpooper18]

My teacher was talking about the guy who came up with this idea and made millions. I want a Pet Rock!

[Dena1561]

I wish they still sold pet rocks :(

[thedudsonette]

@Dena1561 they still do :)

[genocidalss501]

@Dena1561 They still do, but most of them are'nt in store, they are online :)

[Dena1561]

@genocidalss501 yeah. but i wouldn't really buy one. but its a really GOOD idea to make a bit of cash! :)

[anbodykiller]

the muscle car era was the 60's. muscle cars pretty much died after the emissions regulations in 73' but they did still look good

[vorevox]

Don't forget drive by shootings, crack, oxy heads. guns fights and knife fights instead of fists. rap music (?). YO YO YO V-TEC YO. 'Juggalos' and texting/sexting and MySpace.

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@vorevox The 70s had the least of driveby shootings, gun fights, and knife fights when compared the decades that followed. Crack was introduced in the 80s. 80s had Aids, crack, and most violent gang drug wars. 90s had rodney king beating, o.j. murders, riots, government killing civilians, plenty of school shootings, and mass terrorist attacks. 2000-2010 had 9-11 attack, plenty of terrorist plots, mostly crap music, tv, and movies. I'll take the 70s any day over the decades that followed.

[vorevox]

@chroniclerofthe70s .....REALLY. WOW i guess you couldn't read my responce to....imanoob4

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@vorevox Excuse me. Were you referring to another decade besides the 70s?

[cicitheechincbat]

@pakleglia Fuck yes having your pants dragging on the ground with your ass showing is reterded. And fuck yes people in the 70s are probably smarter than these crack-head people around now!

[cicitheechincbat]

Goddam people were retarded back then...

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@cicitheechincbat People were retarded back then? Most of the technologies used today were invented in the 70s, fool.

[cicitheechincbat]

@chroniclerofthe70s I know that, dickie. I mean, the whole pet rock thing. Who would get that?

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@cicitheechincbat Anyone who wanted gag props or gag toys. Pranks were common among kids and teenagers in the 70s, fake vomit, whoopi cushions, custer hat with arrow going through it, etc.

[cicitheechincbat]

@chroniclerofthe70s M'kay, thnx

[sartung]

rocks are awesome they dont need food~!

[Shar12866]

Etch a Sketch doesn;t really qualify as a fad, especially of the 70s since it's been around since the 50's

[purplegill10]

WOAH WOAH WOAH WAIT! MUSCEL CARS WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE!

[Msjamiesweetstuff]

i have a pet rock named  bob!!! 8D

BoB LikEs YeW O____O

[father042]

2 muscle cars aren't fad!

They are my most favourite class in NFS games

[AbigailGnomiee]

My Pet Rock's name is dennis.

[BeatlesFetish09]

80s music for a video on 70s fads...

[visor109]

@BeatlesFetish09 This version, yes, but this song is from the early 60's.

[Wee5Eric2]

@BeatlesFetish09 this song was originaly from the 60's

[stuffedinthecity]

It's not too late to get hooked on one of the fads of the 10s - Toy Travel! Check out stuffedinthecity . com to see what it's all about!

[ipodtouchbuddy1]

[rubyredmedia]

[EmptyBlankAccount]

Thanks for making a history project and, as a result, helping our history project. |D

[twittermonz]

Who WOULD BUY A FUCKING ROCK!

[whisker96]

lava lamps were 60s?...

[sunshinescreations]

[Dedik8Sk8]

3 of today's stupid fads:

3:17 hr/day VG

2:Killing Games

1:Justin Bieber (scary)...

[TheRealWasabiGin]

@Dedik8Sk8 You're wrong. Gaming isn't a fad. It's been around for decades and is only increasing in popularity. It's the opposite of a fad.

[PikachuMaiden]

i got sa mood rign and my parents ahve a lava lamp, i want a pet rock, and Aizawa from Death Note had an afro i think.

[MoonknightX9]

Mood rings rock!

[treysan257]

[imanoob4]

Our parents are weird

[Alexthesarcastic]

@imanoob4 I know, I brought up 'Pet Rocks' to my mom and she said, "I remember those!" I am so glad I'm a 90's/00's kid!

[thechuy7777777]

some guy got arrested for abusing the pet rock and not feeding it

[73carm]

love the toys I had alot of them.......& my mom had the mood ring

[Jellogel]

you could've picked a song from the 70's, no?

[pannoni1]

Three of these are more 60's fads. Etch-a-sketch came out around 1960, Lava Lamps came out in the mid-60's, and Muscle cars are more of a 1965-71 thing as well.

[JeffTheNorse]

@ 1:55... GREAT photo!

[someonenamedjoe1117]

i have a similar history project to do about a music video and we have to make it about the major crysis' any time between the 50s-70s

[bigjerome12]
