I was born in the wrong time period....I should've been born in the 1950s so I could've grown up in the 1970s. i just watched austin powers and commented most of the way through it with Dan Cronin. Twas awesome. a lot of people hate that movie...I love it. It's so goofy. Anyways, I told my dad that I wanted to grow up in the 1970s. He told me

Am I correct in saying that mainstream people, everyday people probably weren't the typical people you'd see on Austin Powers? Your dad was probably a teenager then, right? I think you could look back on any decade and want to go back. Yeah, the 60s and 70s seem cool to me sometimes, but I doubt it was always as great as it looked. We still have parties, we still have funky clothes, we still have music, we still have fast cars, we still have women, we still have drugs and neo-hippies, and some people are carefree. Every generation has that kind of underground/counter-culture in it; it started with the Beat Generation, moved on to the hippies, neo-beatniks and neo-hippies, then punks...

I wish we still had organized dance moves besides the Macarana, though. I'd be a fan of disco. And I do love Austin Powers. I dunno, I think in ten or twenty years the 00's will have a stereotyped culture and maybe our kids then will want to replicate it.

youre alone.
if you were born in the 1950's, youd already be grown up by the 70s. youre so dumb.
by the way, im glad the 70s are over. i personally thought they were one of america's "awkward stages."
