10 Things From The 1970s That Are Not Socially Acceptable Today
In this video, we take a nostalgic deep dive into the wild and wonderful world of growing up in the 1970s—a time when kids roamed free, safety was optional, and fun came without filters. From making anonymous prank calls on rotary phones to riding unbelted in the backs of station wagons, we explore 10 unforgettable childhood experiences that defined a generation. Remember inhaling the sweet scent of freshly printed mimeograph paper? Or TP-ing your friend’s house without worrying about getting caught on camera? We cover it all—bike rides until dusk, grabbing liquor for your parents with a handwritten note, risk-filled playgrounds, net-free trampolines, and the glitter-fueled magic of roller disco. These memories are more than just quirks—they reflect a lost era of freedom, creativity, and adventure that today’s kids may never know. Buckle up and enjoy the ride back in time!
