No disrespect to Prince.
Probably because you didn't consciously live through the 70ies. But I partly agree. The 80ies were the starting point of the valueless money grabbing. But the fashion of the 70ies was way worse.
But yeah 70s wasn't great from what I see haha
I do wonder if I'll look back on the 2010s and cringe as much as my parents cringe at the 80s.
