A lot of people jumped in and stuck up for portions of the 70’s in yesterday’s post<\/a>. Jaquandor responded as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ok, I concede that things in the 70’s were not universally<\/em> awful. There were little bits – a few key movies and some good songs – that many people really cherish. Fine.<\/em> <\/p>\n

But I think we can all agree that when things were bad in the 70’s, they were really, really bad. Soul-crushing, mind-destroying, nightmarishly horrible. <\/p>\n

I do not at all suggest you watch the following clip, which Will<\/a> maliciously provided. Just don’t do it. However, if you want to see the depths of the 70’s, then this might provide some sort of morbid entertainment, akin to watching an autopsy. I’d go to a Hanson concert and scream like a teenage girl before I got anywhere near these guys when they were making “music”. <\/p>\n

You think boy bands suck? You think legwarmers looked stupid? You think the mullet was ridiculous? You think tribal tattoos are cheap and shallow? Friend, you have not begun<\/em> to understand the meaning of awful:<\/p>\n
