Don't see how one can be nostalgic about something that doesn't exist. Strange question.

Yes, if we could go back in time and re-experience stuff, I would. I would go back and re-experience alot of things. I'm guessing by the way you stated your question, you don't mean change things, but only be able to feel things again you've felt before.\n\nI don't agree with going back to sad memories. I'm more of a happy person myself and would go back to good memories!!

There are definitely things that I miss about the 70s, like my innocence (I came of age early in the decade), the freedom of the clothing (I was in high school when they made it okay for girls to wear pants to school), the cheaper gas (we swore if it went to fifty cents a gallon that we'd quit driving), the music absolutely (but I can still listen to that), my children being babies in my arms, Atari games, the CB radio craze, the Vietnam War ending.....\n\nBut there are things I don't miss even a little bit, like my brothers and my friends going off to fight in Vietnam, and having to listen to the Watergate crap 24 hours a day, and sitting in line for hours to fill your gas tank, and Disco, and Polyester, and the double-nickel speed limit nationwide...\n\nSo there's nostalgia, but there is reality, too.

Have we entered some time-warp back to the 80s?

Yes and I love you for saying so. I was born in 74 and I think about the 80's alot. I miss a lot of things to include Saturday morning cartoons much like yourself. There are so many things but too many things to list here. I think it would be cool if there were decade categories on "answers" so that we could talk about each decade specifically in detail and everyone would know where to go-I honestly just by chance came across your question. I do, however, love to watch I love the 70's and 80's on VH1 and that allows me to reminisce a bit. I just sit there with a giant smile on my face the entire time.

I've known stubborn set-in-their-ways people who were 7-years old.  I've known enthusiastic, open-minded, ready to learn and take on new challenges people in their 90s.  My guess is that people are who they are and the years just pile on after that, and it's who they are deep down that will see them open to change or not.\n\nBut my opinion isn't written in stone.  I'm open to changing it.\n\n;)

Oh yeah.  I got a mail-order catalog in the mail the other week that really triggered some old memories and yearnings in me.  The Uncle Wiggly game...clackers (remember those glass balls on the string you would bang together?)...Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys.  Then my friend and I started remembering other things together...like rock candy...remember around Christmas when they would come out with the colored candy shapes on lollipop sticks?  Then we got to talking how it's a miracle we survived...we had no carseats, no bicycle helmet or kneepads.  No soft wood chips under our swing sets or jungle gyms...we had concrete!  Which reminds me...I wonder when is the last time kids played Spud or Mother May I?  Oh yeah...I miss those good ol' days!

Sorry friend but your generation is being assimulated by mine.\n\nVery few new stuff seems to be prominent. Lots of stuff from 80s and earlier.\n\nWe just don't want to give you a voice.

Well, I lived through them...but can I remember the 70's?! Hmmm....Say no to war. Peace & Free love. Psychedelic clothing,leisure suits, high heels, mini skirts. Don't trust anyone over 30. Long hair, Afro hair. Awesome muscle cars. Watergate. Men on the moon. It was such a great decade even though it had it's downfalls and the way people treated each other in general was so much more honorable than today.

Shame on you chulapanama! We didn´t stink! The hippie era was pretty much as described above, but my main problem with my generation is that we (the old hippies/flower children) are the leaders of today, and the world is in a MESS! We really let our children down, not to mention our grandchildren. Hey guys, is it too late to do something constructive? What about using this wonderful medium (Internet) to start a movement to bring the magic of the sixties back. I personally think that that period was the best in history! Especially the music: Scott Mackenzie, Arlo Guthrie, The Stones, Jimmie Hendrix, Barry Maguire, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Fats Domino, Donovan, etc. They DON´T (CAN´T???) make music like that anymore!

Generally people can’t get satisfied with what they got...\nSo they feel what has gone was better than the present
