You can ask different people about life in 1978, and you'll get many different answers, but most will say it was a messy time.

1978's winter hit hard all around the world, with snowstorms that covered entire cities under a white glow that looked very nice, but felt like the apocalypse. On the other hand, disco music was everywhere, and that meant there was always a party going on somewhere. Most parties were you know, parties, and very different from the ‘60s, where everyone who wasn’t a hippie dressed elegant and acted like an adult. Others were a bit chaotic, with a lot of very unique characters (those hippies again) you would never forget in your life. That could be good or bad, depending on taste.

So, here are some photos from 1978 that are a total mess, for those who like a bit of chaos.
