mr skibum may sound like a crotchity fossil when he posts but my space geneious algorithm detected an admission regarding his birth year - 1957
that is why he has such a warped perspective. he came of age during the 1970s which was the time when america rly was a shithole
think about it. we had gone to the moon - thanks to space geneiouses of course - and we had almost completed the interstate highway system. we had rebuilt much of the world after a devastating war. then the 1970s hit. stagflation. crime. watergate. gas lines. the loss in vietnam
and worst of all people thought this was a cool outfit:
when u grow up thinking all of that shit was when america was great u rly cant figure out what great is. i mean rly - picture teenage skibum wearing some fringed outfit thinking hes cool, that has got to warp ur mind
as a space geneious i think people who were 1970s teens should be barred from voting unless they pass rigorous tests to insure the absence of mind warpage. perhaps an exception could be made if somebody has evidence that they were ahead of the curve by being into something unimpeachably cool like pre1999 prince
but there is no fuckin way u should vote if u ever thought fringed outfits or jim crocerman was cool.
folks who were 1980s teens are ok as long as they never had flock of seagulls hair. but 1970s teens? get the fuck outta here
The 70's: Girls wore halter tops and tube tops with their low rise hip huggers. Braless was in fashion. Birth control was free at County health departments and most girls were on the pill. STD's could be cured with a week long round of antibiotics. Girls equated feminism with sexual freedom and were still enjoying the sexual revolution. You could go to a party on a Saturday night and pretty much know you were going to get laid; usually with someone you just met.
Drugs were weed, shrooms, acid, quaaludes, and if you were rich ... cocaine. There was no crack,crystal meth, or fentanyl. Oh, and Coors was actually good beer back then.
Music was diverse in the 70's. Country rock (Allman Bros., Lynard Skynard) Jazz rock (Joni Mitchell, Boz Scaggs) Progressive rock (Yes, Genesis) Blues rock (Savoy Brown, Rory Gallagher) and Funk, Punk, Early Rap, Petty, Springsteen, Zeppelin.
It didn't get much better than being a teen in the 70's. Compare that to the 90's kids listening to Alanis Morissette. No wonder y'all had teen angst.
