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. However, the first stirrings of 1970s nostalgia could be
seen by the late 1980s. For instance, Spy published an
article called "The 1970s: A Dynamite Spy Boogie-Down Celebration
of the Most Embarrassing Decade of the Twentieth Century" (December
1988).[327] 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. Surprisingly, unlike most retro movements that follow a
strict Twenty Year Rule by de facto, the 1970s retro movement has
yet to decline in popularity. However today it is usually
overshadowed by the larger 1980s retro movement.
