I think some at the time felt the 70's was a hangover of the 60's (not my words, I read that and found it interesting)
but still:
-continuation of the civil rights struggle
-reproductive freedom (in North America at least, then, way to turn back the clock USA)
-no AIDS as mentioned
-'hard' drugs were soft by today's standards
-birth of hip hop
not an idyllic time (has there ever been one) but setting aside appalling apparel (as if the 80's were much better) it was an important decade
