The Seventies Unplugged by Gerard DeGroot

“Unfortunately, with weirdness as standard, the outrageous ceased to cause outrage and became instead banal. Everyone tried to shock, but no one did. For agonized rebels, the flamboyant clothes of the early 1970s symbolized the demise of the Sixties dream; they were style without substance, rebellion without pain—the perfect expression of a generation in love with itself and in thrall to display.”
