What Did 1979 Smell Like?

Incense and Peppermints

Like hairy pussy op... like hairy pussy

I was smelling that as in 69!!!

I was 14 years old

it smelled a lot better then it does today

Orange spiritual sky oil on a lightbulb. Dr. Pepper and pineapple. Marlboros

Douglas Fir trees and ferns.

small jap car exhaust and sunflowers

No cell phones, no computers, no video games, no internet, no social media....it smelled like freaking HEAVEN!!!!

I miss it!

Girls smelled of "Venice"

and country weed smelled like cat pee,
cattle shed,
mint
and honey.

Ganja for me.


But cheap Mexican garf weed.

we used to have to open our bottles of coca-cola with a bottle opener

Like the end of the best.

All that has followed is crap.

Cigarettes, weed,vinyl records, grape Kool Aid, lemonade stands, incense

It smelt like 1999 but nowhere near as gay.

A lot better than 2020 2020 smells like total shit actually everything since 9/11 but 2020 especially so

It was the last year I lived on real earth, I was 5 and headed to hell. Hell smells like Sulphur, it is even named after it.

Actually 1980's were great 1990s were ok of course paradise compared to now tho we were starting to head a bit down the slippery slope just at a very slow pace 9/11 is when it all started going to shit and fast and the slide down the slippery slope really accelerated of course it's now increased tenfold in 2020 with the Scamdemic

I miss the pre-9/11 world so much I'd give anything to go back to it but 2020 sucks so much it makes me long for 2019 like I've longed for the pre-9/11 world since 9/11.

Yes, I left for deployment on 9/18 and came back to a different country the next year. Not a better united country. But something worse than when we left.

I'm a child of the 50's so....

But to each his own.

ABBA
KISS
EAGLES
REO Speedwagon

these are the types of music we were listening too at the campsites in the summer months

It smelled like eucalyptus trees drying in the warm and gentle golden afternoon sky. It smelled like fresh dew on the grass on a foggy morning. It smelled like corduroy pants with grape bubble gum in the pocket.It smelled like a warm black rubber mat under a metal jungle gym and it smelled like a hot metal slide on a playground at noon. It smelled like musty pages from a library book. It smelled like warm purple ink from a mimeograph . It smelled like coffee in a 3 gallon olive green urn that ladies would have at a social function in a styrofoam cup. It smelled like vaguely smoky suede. It smelled like home.

1979 was covered in Semen and Cocaine.

There was dog poop everywhere.

Mr Coffee, Bazooka Joe gum and Armor All.
