If you’re someone who grew up in the 1970s, this one’s for you. The 70s was a notorious time for growing out your hair really big and jamming to some disco tunes. There is so much more to the 70s than big hair and music though.

Shag carpets were the best and comfiest places to sit when it was time to watch some TV with the family. Some would argue it’s still the best place to sit, that is if you’re a 70s kid.

4. Having a huge crush on David Cassidy
