I wish i lived in the 70's my life would be way better

[rolling stoner]

Im 15 years old Music is my life, i chill listen to my music and smoke. Its my favorite thing to do. I just hate how everyone is so against smoking, most or all of my friends think its really bad. I wish everybody would accept it chill and smoke a joint with me and listen to good music instead of the shit thats around now. Rock n Roll music was always awesome, now new music sucks and all my friends listen to rap. Its not relaxing at all to listen to rap when high and i seriously think people listen to it because its whats everybody else does. I doubt half of them really enjoy the music compared to how much they would enjoy good Rock N Roll music. Even though its old they should give it a chance, it has way more talent.

I got fucked for a generation, I swear I was meant to be a teen in the seventies. It pains me to listen to my peers excitedly talk about shitty rap and crappy bands like fallout boy.

The worst part is I never got the chance to piss my parents off with my music, a classic coming of age thing to do. Instead when I turn my music up they ask me to turn it up louder then reminesce about the good old seventies, its embarassing

[420MissHighTimes420]

I feel the same way, I hate new music these days, I am even more attracted to the clothings styls from the 60's and 70's.

[ericwt]

Disco, Vietnam, Nixon, draft, Cold War?

Sure there was some good music but there was also disco.

I was a kid in the 70's. No Internet assess for everyone. Cd's and Dvds did not exist. 3 major networks on TV.

It was not all cool.

[Maui Wowie]

How original, a band named after Radioactive Man's crappy sidekick, I guess makes sense. :S

LoL yup.

[zeebo phillips]

I think we all contribute to this decade in our own special way...

consider yourself part of history; we've been bringing it back, anyhow. :)

[thcbongman]

Unless I was right in Haight-Asbury in 1967, I wouldn't care to live in those times, except to see some kick ass bands.

I think the more things change, the more they remain the same.

[Psycho4Bud]

LOL...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

$15/ounce of mexican
$25/ounce for Columbian Gold, Acopolco gold, jamaican
Afghani hash all over the place for CHEAP
Toking in concerts was a must!

Schools and parents were alot harsher with the refer madness mentality.
The computor, cd, vcr, cell phone.....was Star Trek shit.

When I was 16 my parents took a half ouce of seeds that I was saving to the cop shop after doing a raid on my bedroom. It bought me 3 months in the psychiatric ward! LOL..found out what happened to a few friends that disappeared from school. Lucky for me I had the right doctor; some of my friends had Dr. Shock.....electroshock for treatment purposes. They'd come out like zombies.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[too as in also]

yeah, it would have been cool in haight-ashbury but here in oklahoma it might not have been so great. i mainly listen to classic rock but i like other music styles too.besides, not all of todays music is bad. you just have to look around for it.:rastasmoke:

[BizzleLuvin]

i don't know.....we have a romanticized, dealized view of that era. sure the 70's had it good but can you imagine no cell phones, civil rights, gender equality, internet, etc...we arent always shown the lesser side of things. i'm sure i would enjoy myself but I like the era i live in now. i'm sure many decades from now our children will be listening to our music and wearing oentur clothes and doting about how they withed the lived in the 21st century

[REEFERDREAMZ]

Well you have the right idea.. hope you run for president someday.. you young ones are the future!

:thumbsup:

[Matt the Funk]

We may not live in the "best" time, but whatever man. There are pro's and con's to everthing in life. I like a lot of 70's music, but I love a lot of the music that comes out now, and in the past few years. I don't really listen to mainstream radio though.....

[ericwt]

These are the best times to live in.
Fuck the past. The power is in the Now.

Corporate mainstream music sucks though. So does rap.

[PHATTY LUMPKINS]

I was there and it wasn't bad. I was a teen in the seventies. good columbian, and good black hash. Concerts for cheap. Ahh those were the daze. And OK wasn't that bad at all. back then that is.:thumbsup:

[TheKidThatLovesMary]

70s teens saw alot of monumental times, martin luther king, jfk, rfk, nixon, vietnam, lsd, jimi hendrix, great weed prices lol.

[slightlystoopid27]

i would rather be in the 60s thats when i believe rock n roll was at its best...although there was vietnam and many other bad things going on i would still like to live then, atleast from what i hear.

[40oz]

Theres alot of new good music coming out.You just have to know where to look for it. In the 70's, pop music was good.Now it just sucks. You have to look beyond radio stations and mtv to find the good stuff.

[slightlystoopid27]

i just wish i couldve seen the beatles live...now thats enough to convince me to live in the 70s lol

[Skink]

I watched the Beatles US debut on the Ed Sullivin show in 64...

[Reefer Rogue]

I belong in the 70's. Best decade for music ever. I could care less what the next 'hook' is, bring back long passionate guitar solos and ganja for every1 who wants it. Peace and Love! :hippy:

:jointsmile::hippy::stoned::rasta::pimp::smokin:

...I would take you back if I could...but I can't go back either....:wtf:......settle for the music...without the memories...if possible..

[dankus maximus]

man, the 70s were jsut a less cool ripoff of the late 60s! but yeah, the late 60s haight ashbury scene sounds pretty much where i belond, walking around, hopefully see a couple grateful dead shows :). but alot fo the things from the 70s are still here, and id say at least in canada pot laws are WAAAYYY looser now. Not to mention if you look around its relatively easy to find some good LSD, so you cant say that that was exclusive to the 70s like hendrix was.

[420MissHighTimes420]

Unless I was right in Haight-Asbury in 1967, I wouldn't care to live in those times, except to see some kick ass bands.

I think the more things change, the more they remain the same.

For me it's basically the same thing. I get so jealous of my dad, but in a nice way, that he got to see some crazy shows that are a part of history. I don't ever really go to big concerts that will probably mean something someday.
Who knows though?

Oh and I wanted to add that I always think of the sixties and the seventies like they are kind of one. But they were really different and I don't think I would have liked the seventies more, even though the war would have been shitty to go through, the sixties to me were more chill. I feel like the seventies was more disco and the drugs that go with that. Where as the sixties was more mind expanding drugs.
sorry I'm realllly baked and I tend to keep blabing on and on ... like right now... :stoned:

[Nissan_420sx]

I'm pretty happy with this era...maybe go back to the early-mid 90's now that I drive, for the cheaper gas...lol..and cheaper green

and Thanx to the internet and all this new technology, you can walk around listing to your Ipod with all the 70's music you can cram in it..

[BabyFacedAbortion]

This is why our generation SUCKS. We have no originality, what so ever. Our generation is just backwash. We have to change that damnit!

I agree with you for the most part tho, except there are a lot of really amazing underground rap artists that are more like poetry with a beat then bitches and hoes.

Expand your mind.

[Nissan_420sx]

I like rap...but I also like bass..lots and lots of bass..so I guess thats where that comes from..I used to play the bass..lol

and whats with this emo stuff?..Since when is it ok for rich kids to feel so bad about their lives?..

sorry for the randomness...yay pot!

[Ganja G0d]

Hey, listening to rap is just like reading the newspaper. It's mostly all bullshit, but it's entertaining to some people.

[halo]

Some new music is good. Take a look at some indie bands. You might not like them but they definetly aren't all mainstream. Indie music is the closes thing to hippies in music that we got right now.

[happiestmferoutthere]

Ahhhh yes....... the 70's. I remember them well! I never wore anything but "Ditto" jeans. Blue ones, pink ones, red ones, you name it! I had the "Dittos"!
And a "lid" of pot was $15-$20( we used to call them "lids", I dont know why.) I think a lid was like an ounce. I'm not sure though. All I know is I bought lids all through high school.
The VERY first time I got STONED(and I mean damn stoned) was on Coloumbian Gold, and I have never been able to match that high since! lol! Not in 25 years!
Yeah...the 70's were ok, but then again so were the 80's & 90's in their own way. It all depends on what you make out of it!:jointsmile:

[memoryburner]

I actually enjoy rap music ocassionally, but only if it is unique. All this new stuff that is coming out sounds the same. Same thing with rock. Almost every underground band out here is screamo. Its like people have lost the ability to be unique...either that or everyone is insecure about themselves, so they play it safe by doing the same thing everyone else does.

[stonedblue]

I'm the same age dude and pretty much act the same as you. I think we should work harder on bringing it back then wishing we were in the past. Lots of kids have started smoking pot where i live. And lots have long hair and listen to and play rock n roll. Its coming back. At least in Nevada.

[cannabis=freedom]

I would give anything to have grown up in the 60s or 70s.

We are living in a LAAAAAAME age.

[rebgirl420]

Hmmm I love 70's music like The Doors and such and the carefree attitude BUT the rest I don't want. I don't want the political turmoil and I dont wanna give up my clothes or my technology.

[psteve]

The seventies sucked at the time. They seem pretty cool now in some ways, but really the '60's were the shit. :hippy:
In the '70's, people would say "the '60's are over man!"
They were right.
The Beatles broke up, and The Osmonds hit #1 :mad:
Earth shoes were fucking uncomfortable. :mad:
Nixon. :mad:
My bell bottoms got caught in my bike chain. :mad:
Headbands made me sweat. :mad:
No Cable TV. :mad:
Platform shoes were EVEN MORE uncomfortable. :mad:

The best thing about the seventies was...
It wasn't the '80's yet. :D

[blazed_babe]

Unless I was right in Haight-Asbury in 1967, I wouldn't care to live in those times, except to see some kick ass bands.


exactly. while i do like most of the music and clothes from the 70s (that 70s show kicks ass!!!), the 60s seem like they were soooooooo much more chill. that was the time to explore and expand your mind, it seems, and the music scene...fucking amazing. the summer of love sure as hell rocked, and i wish i could have been there for those shows. i love the clothes from the 60s as well. but i don't really think i would have given up where i am at this point now to grow up then. i just wish i could have experienced mainly the counter-culture of the 60s, and the 70s a bit too.

turn on, tune in, drop out - tim leary

[Nochowderforyou]

Cannabis and hippies were discriminated just as much as we are today, other than the laws were much lighter. Smokers still got harrased and were considered useless, lazy potheads by the authority.

Wars were happening back then just as they are today. Not much has changed except the fact that media can be broadcasted from anywhere on TV, so that's why people think this world is much more fucked now as it was then. They just didn't have the technology to air on TV what they can today, so were hear more of it now then we did back then.

Although the music scene and the political advances back then would have been an honor to be a part of, but as for life being easier for being a pot smoker...? Nah, we are hated on just as much today as they were back then.

You have to get passed the fact not to care what non smokers think. They can mock us and advertise mindless propaganda, will that stop me? Hell no. Just flip them the bird, say fuck off and keeping going on with whatever you do. You can't let people who don't agree or accept what you do stop you because those people aren't going away and it's part of life.

Life would be boring if everyone agreed on everything. That's what makes life interesting. :)

Hey old timer....LOL. Glad to see someone else in here has grey hairs and memories of days gone by. This one's for you bro!:smokin:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[Psycho4Bud]

silly ass teenagers, wouldn't last a week in the 70's, haha, you don't know how much of a spoiled bitch you are. lol

NO SHIT! Computors, cell phones.......the closest we got to that shit was watching Star Trek.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[MagicalHerb]

Lucky for me I had the right doctor; some of my friends had Dr. Shock.....electroshock for treatment purposes. They'd come out like zombies.

dude..
thats very scary. are you serious?

oh on the topic, i would really like to have lived in the 60's or 70's, not jsut for the music and drugs and scene but because todays technology scares the crap out of me. now people are able to be tracked, you are able to test for substances in someones body, bombs are stronger, guns are better, i dont feel safe anymore. and the govornment, theyre becoming more poewrful and watchful. if it wasnt for all that id be perfectly content in the time im in. i mean were all here now so that means we werent meant to be in the 70s, we were meant to be now.
new music sucks.
i really would like to say i had been a part of that though. it kind of breaks my heart that i never can and never will experience that. but im gonna experience my time range. it might be fun. id like to see things turn around and go back to the mentality they had back then. the chill people, at least. there are so few of them in my town. that would make me very happy.

[Psycho4Bud]

dude..
thats very scary. are you serious?

VERY serious.........it was a form of treatment back then. LOL...and now the kids get ritalin.....

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

:jointsmile::hippy::stoned::rasta::pimp::smokin:

i listen to rock, rap, whatever.. im from this generation. I believe in peace and love. I could have fit in perfectly with the "seventies"
you do not wish to live in the 70's.. they were blind back then.. granted, today there is more violence(some say) but there is more knowledge. people said yes back then cause they wanted to feel something new. "most" people say yes today because they know and want.

you can be as peaceful as they were. as a matter of fact, being 15, you'll get farther in life thinking like that. farther than your "cool" friends.:rastasmoke:

[jrs212]

I can remember watching TV the night Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969. I was 9 years old and the parents let me stay up late to witness history. A short 3 years later I started gettin stoned and the 70's were great. Although we could have used CD's instead of vinyl.

[monty python]

Pros:
Music was better. Head shops in the malls. Drug war hadn't gotten into high gear.

Cons:
Homegrown weed was worthless. You couldn't grow your own, had to buy it.

[M3nt0R]

i don't know.....we have a romanticized, dealized view of that era. sure the 70's had it good but can you imagine no cell phones, civil rights, gender equality, internet, etc...we arent always shown the lesser side of things. i'm sure i would enjoy myself but I like the era i live in now. i'm sure many decades from now our children will be listening to our music and wearing oentur clothes and doting about how they withed the lived in the 21st century

Oh so you're gonna have kids in the 22nd century then? You're gonna live a LONG life then!

;)

[suhl]

there is still good rock being recorded. how many times do we have to hear a kid who barely has pubes talk about how rock is dead. just do some research and blow up your radio
