The 1970s was a decade defined by social progress, cultural revolution, and a carefree attitude that permeated through every walk of life. Thanks to the Vietnam War, young people were politically conscious, and knew what they wanted out of life. They wanted the freedom to have a good time. 


It all had to start somewhere, and that somewhere was 1970. 


Here are 25 photos showing what life looked like in the first year of America's golden decade.
