Interesting Images Showing the World in 1975
The world in 1975 moved with a confident wobble, like a teenager who had just discovered polyester and refused to take it off. Everything felt louder, warmer, and slightly sticky, as if the decade had been left too close to a lava lamp. Even the sunlight carried a tint you could only describe as retro.
People mixed bold choices with total certainty. Kids rode bikes built to injure, families decorated homes in browns with unmatched pride, and adults trusted hairstyles that ignored gravity and reason.
If you ever wondered what life looked like before irony became common knowledge, these images offer the closest thing to time travel you can get.
