Was 1971/1972 more 60s or 70s?
I'd say 1971–1972 were more 70s than 60s, but they were a transition period.
- 1960s influence: Fashion, music, counterculture, psychedelia, and the lingering hippie aesthetic were still very visible.
- 1970s influence: The cultural mood had shifted noticeably—funk, glam, hard rock, soul, early disco, polyester, earth tones, platform shoes, and more cynical/post-60s attitudes were emerging.
- 1971–72 specifically: Think of them as the “early 70s with a strong 60s afterglow.”
If you forced me to quantify it:
1971: ~60% 70s / 40% 60s
1972: ~70% 70s / 30% 60s
