Something that kills me about getting older is how the 70s featured stuff like trying for better children’s programming, more Black representation in movies, the creation of the EPA/ESA, etc.
Apparently America’s actual golden age was about trucker movies, polyester pants, yellow and orange plaid patterns and shag carpet, Meco covers of Star Wars at roller rinks, etc, which is why it was impossible to see it as a golden age at the time.
