1970s retro movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1970s retro movement was a retro movement that mostly occurred during the 1990s when certain aspects of the 1970s culture were revived in mainstream American culture. It has been suggested that one of the causes of this nostalgia boom was that America had come to terms with the traumas of the 1970s, such as Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War.[citation needed] This retro movement still continues on in the present.
