No, but it became part of mass culture in the 1970s. To me the sexiest thing a woman can wear are blue jeans. I love blue jeans. I have blue denim shirts, a denim jacket, denim shorts, and of course, blue jeans. I need a denim hat.Originally posted by SlowwHand

If you consider Pink Floyd and Blue Oyster Cult heavy metal, your insaneThe early 70s saw the creative peak of heavy metal, esp. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Blue Oyster Cult.

I dont! The last time I was musically satisfied was 1969 (16 years before I was born). People like lennon, led zep, heavy metal bands etc were saving grace, but spandex and prog!!I love the 70's!
. As a rule, music written after lennon was shot automatically sucks.

Che, as far as young fashion, they were wearing jeans in the 50's.
Not talking cowboys working herds in the 1880's.

In fact, cowboys of the late nineteenth century loved wearing jeans.Originally posted by SlowwHand

OK, OK...
Clarifying -- I said "heavy metal" but meant "hard rock." The music industry of the time called it "progressive rock" and/or album-oriented rock." I worked in radio from '72 to about 1980. Anyway, my bad on terminology.
Re denim, all I was saying is that it was a huge part of 70s fashions. Not invented then, not first worn by youth then. The nature of clothing fashion is that things come into and go out of fashion regularly. The 70s was just *a* time when denim was huge.
I appreciate the effort in nitpicking, but I don't believe "invented in the 70s" was required.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Okay I was too young to remember much. But the tv show on VH1 is pretty funny.
What a weird decade. People must have been insane back then. EST? I still haven't figured out what that is. TV shows like Issus. And Grizzly Adams. And they had this one tv show where they went back in time and there was dinosaurs and ****.
Old people are just weird. You can't say nothing bad about the stuff in the 80's, that was just cool
. But the 70's pop culture just borders on insanity.
Though it was cool seeing the clips of Foxy Brown and Death Wish.
If you LIVED IT you would have had a perspective...afterall..your watching a POPCORN-Colored version of the 70's....not actually living the 70's.....
I was highschool age in 70's..actually pretty cool times..Elephant pants Blue-Suede Converse Dingo Boots Peter Frampton Boston Ted Nugent ..yes even my Disco Days..although I was stationed U S Army in Germany during most of Disco times....
But I would say that it was the greatest era..although i have many fond memories as well as some very painful times...
Peace

Well that isn't rare. Once we hit the 90s, we started trash talking the 80s. 70s kids hated the 60s. It's a rebellion thing, me thinks.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
