California was the coolest in the 1970s. Feathered hairstyles, bellbottom corduroy pants, peace n' love–what's not to cherish? Once the funk hit the West Coast, there was no stopping the cool factor from taking over. While most of us were just kids back then, striped sweater t-shirts stuck with us forever. We didn't know it at the time, but these were the decades in existence.

Do you ever wonder why kids nowadays are obsessed with 70s and 80s-themed parties? It's because they wish they were there! No cell phones, no smartwatches, no Internet to rule our lives, just folks living in the moment, blasting the coolest music, driving the dopest cars, and rocking the dorkiest, biggest hair you've ever seen. If you weren't a hoodlum in the 70s and 80s, you probably secretly wished you were, because the cool kids back then had a mainline connection to the source of the Cool.

So if you're feeling nostalgic and want a trip down memory lane, scroll onward for some truly groovy vibes and Kodak moments that captured the essence of the best decades of the millennia.
