Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

[Stearmen]

The only man I ever saw actually wear one of those neck-scarf things was that guy from Scooby Doo. Puke-colored suits, however, did show up here around the middle of the decade, and you still see them from time to time.

Same here! It's like any time period, most people do not dress like the magazines! I asked my mother if she ever saw a Zoot Suiter in Iowa, I don't need to tell you her answer!

Actually, that is from the 80s.

Shellsuits remind me of serial sexual predators like this POS who made them his trademark.

 

[HadleyH]

I think that shellsuits are still better than backside plastic cosmetic implants a la Kardashian....

I mean

you know what I'm saying???

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Indeed I do. I think all that Kardashian freakiness started to rub off on "Dad."

Yes, it's enough to make your head explode. So on that note, here's a little something fitting by a couple of comedy icons of the '70s.

Yes it was. That bowtie looks like a propeller---it is so damned big. What was it back then with the big bow ties? They look stupid.
Oh yes and who stole the gold Lamé drapes for that dress? lol lol

The bow tie makes the fellow look as if he had been gift-wrapped.

Gold lame' draperies?. Never heard of the like. Must be a California thing, to go with all of those off-white houses.

Those kinds of drapes were a 50s thing out here.

I don't think the 70s were more tacky than today.

There is no scum worse than today's

With all respect.

Of course. Our point is that the 70s stunk next to what came BEFORE it. lol lol

Another lie from the grain grinding hippies of the 1970s:

That's true too!

 

[Horace Debussy Jones]

I am SO glad I had a job that required me to wear a suit in the 80s! :eeek:
That's the sort of thing I'd see in the mall every day that made my skin crawl.

Actually, that is from the 80s.

It was so much worse then the Dark Ages! :heh:

 

[jamespowers]

Definitely! When men were men.

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Perhaps we might see a revival of the codpiece.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Definitely! When men were men.

Hmph, low armholes. How gauche.

 

[Stearmen]

Definitely! When men were men.

Lets see, he has a beard and is wearing bright frilly cloths and a funny hat, must be one of your Hippie neighbors!
