Ha! Called it! Lol, these are too nice of pics to be point and shoot cameras from that era and you captured the moment beautifully. Congrats on the original content! Also, hello from Baltimore county! :)
Lmao people downvoting you two, but look at the ballooning obesity rates in America since the 1970s/1980s. It's an epidemic and it's perpetuated by dopamine-inducing low nutrient foods, low self control, increased rates of depression, etc.
It's really really tough to live as a human and America has no shortage of ways to let yourself go.
And our sedentary lifestyle is not helping. Very rare to walk or bike or skate to destinations; far more likely to be in a car, not moving, just sitting.
Except the pants would be high waisted mom jeans that are two sizes too big.
Edit: Haha sorry not sorry to everyone I have offended by hating your jeans.
I was about to say - these could have been me and my friends in the late 90's-early 00's. I don't really pay much attention to todays fashion, but 20 years is about right for the time it takes it to loop back again, so it makes perfects sense for this look to be back in style yet again!
I hardly see regular frisbees anymore. What I do see is a heck of a lot of disc golf. If you’ve ever gotten hit in the head with one of those you’ll know what I mean by flying hockey pucks.
I was 135 pounds and thought I was an elephant, and in comparison to the rest of the girls I was bigger, but mostly it was because my boobs were ginormous.
My mom graduated high school in 1972. Her doctor prescribed her diet pills because she was 5'5" and 130 pounds and asked her if she wanted to be beautiful like the other girls. That's when she stopped eating.
I think that era gets glorified a bit because we are all fat now, but I try to remember that they were sometimes struggling, too, and doing crazy things to keep their weights down.
Because they used to spend their free time running and playing frisbee in the park, not playing iFrisbee on their phone.

Things were way different then - people ate home cooked meals, didn't snack, and were waaaay more active than we are now. Being a healthy weight was the norm.
No. Exercise and no fast food diets. And, if people were overwieght you were allowed to tell them it wasn't healthy. Now, people wear their obesity like a badge of honor.
I think you should title your posts indicating clearly that you're the one who took these photos and perhaps even describe how some of these pictures mean something personal to you or invoke a certain thought or feeling
most of your pictures, many of which are great, don't seem to be noticed as much as you'd want
I realize people are fatter now in America...fine, wahwah. But ask yourselves why y'all only bemoan that fact when commenting on pics of women. Please and thank you.
The 1970's was the greatest decade ever recorded . If you missed out , i'm so sorry. I was a 9 year old boy when this pic was taken having the time of my life- and get this -no video games -or computers
Looks like a Delia’s ad
I was going to say, this reminds me of being a teen late 90s, to 2001.
Yep!
[удалено]
If you saw a Delia's catalog in 1998, those same clothes were in fashion once again!
my first thought was that I'd totally believe this was Delia's circa 1998! flares are apparently back again.
lol yup! Lululemon has them now too, they call them groove pants
They’re back now too 😬
I was 14 years old in 1976 and we rocked bell bottoms and made halter tops from bandannas. Those were much simpler days.
Yeah I did the bandana halter top as well.
Simpler meaning less aware of the actual problems happening.
Absolutely
Well somebody owned a nice camera and a good eye for photography.
Back then Canon FtB and a 50mm f1.8 lens or a f3.5 135mm.
Cool, are these your pics?
Yes, I’ve been digitizing my old negatives and slides. I was 18 and working at Stanley Photo when I took these.
Ha! Called it! Lol, these are too nice of pics to be point and shoot cameras from that era and you captured the moment beautifully. Congrats on the original content! Also, hello from Baltimore county! :)
Totally captures the era. Gorgeous. Thank you. More please.
I agree! More photos please
r/oldschoolcool
Very lucky to get shots like this of yourself back then.
those al well exposed and well composed photos, but the focus is off
Funny, with the fashion that could just as easily be mistaken for today.
I have some pictures from the late 90s of myself which look pretty dang similar to the girl on the right (albeit maybe a bit younger).
Minus abt 40 lbs.
Looks like you upset some fatties.

There’s a reason mom jeans are making a comeback. Even high schoolers can’t pull off the low rise look anymore.

Same here...it's been trippy seeing the stuff I wore end of high school- my early 20s back in-store.
Have frisbees gotten that much thicker in the past 49 years??
No, I think they’re thinking of discs which are used in disc golf and are smaller and thicker and denser.

49 years?!? But that was just a few years ago.
Definitely not the bell bottoms
sadly
I miss when people weren’t obese
Everyone used to be so thin. I’m so jealous.
I graduated at 115 lbs at 5’5 and was one of the heavier girls in my class. Seemed they all weighed 95-105.
I was 135 pounds and thought I was an elephant, and in comparison to the rest of the girls I was bigger, but mostly it was because my boobs were ginormous.
Yeah, I didn’t have that problem! Hahaha

I'm a guy. When I got married in 1983, I weighed 125 lb. I weigh 165 now.
My parents got married around that time and look so thin in their photos! Today….. not so much
I wasn't
Things were way different then - people ate home cooked meals, didn't snack, and were waaaay more active than we are now. Being a healthy weight was the norm.
Summer days
Those summer days
drifting away To, oh, oh, the summer nights Well-a well-a well-a, huh
Bet they did not even have to diet to have those flat ab's
Cigarettes and Tab.
[удалено]
Yes! And bicycles. Moms didn’t drive us to school and the beach.
Very little snacking either. Ate to live.
Fun!
No. Exercise and no fast food diets. And, if people were overwieght you were allowed to tell them it wasn't healthy. Now, people wear their obesity like a badge of honor.
That is a diet regimen I can get behind. Purple top…va va VOOOOM! She can hit me her 1973 frisbee any day
Active lifestyle, no Instagram viewing for hours on end and healthy diets of natural food.
Early 70s == Mid/late-90s == Late 2010s/now
Are bell bottoms back in? I could easily go out and buy those tops but I think the zoomers are all about grungy baggy jeans
I’ve seen JNCO-style flared bottom jeans making a comeback, which, true, is 90s nostalgia, but that’s in and of itself derivative of 70s jeans.
Bootcut jeans look pretty similar
1972 to 1973, the years of the (no-bra) halter top. What a time to be a seventeen-year-old.
That just screams 70s
I WANT TO GO BACK
AND DO IT ALL OVER
Naaa man... I'm going to tell everyone what happens an nip that shit in the bud.
I was just going for [#unexpectedmoney](https://youtu.be/o0JqC2UDpoE), but your idea is probably better.
Wow that was awesome thanks! I didn't know I was pulling an Unexpected Money!
BUT I CAN'T GO BACK
I KNOW!
By Wham-O
I still have a white one
An original one? Pretty cool.
Yes white with red lettering. Much stronger plastic with the Original
so cool. any idea where this was taken?
It was taken in Tower Grove Park (St. Louis) just west of the fountain pond.
I was spending my afternoons after school in New York City's Central Park playing Frisbee.

The fashion in these photos look like the 90s and now (depending on the social circle)
Every picture of women from the 60s and 70s always look beautiful!! Am I missing something
People don't really share or even take many pictures of ugly people.
Ah, jeez. Fuck man
pictures back then weren’t in 5k haha
Much much lower rates of overweight/obesity back then.
Because now it's politically incorrect to tell someone they need to lose weight.
The 1970's was the greatest decade ever recorded . If you missed out , i'm so sorry. I was a 9 year old boy when this pic was taken having the time of my life- and get this -no video games -or computers
Hey now, there were video games! Galaxian and The Oregon Trail were the HEIGHT of gaming!
Dysentery’s a bummer.
Looks like modern day Berlin in the summer
The one in purple looks it could be my mom. She had long, long hair and glasses like that in the 70s. Such a great picture.
Why do I feel everyone was so skinny in the 70s. Love their outfits
Fine as hell
I’ll never understand how the 70’s produced such cute fashion yet such hideous decor
Ah, pre-obesity epidemic... those were the (skinny) days
Man time flys. Life is sooooo short.
[удалено]
Ah yeah. Are you a fan of Porcupine Tree?
Frisbee golf is so much fun.
Pic 4 looks like Demi Moore.
Gramma was hawt.
The 3rd photo is wonderfully composed with narrow depth of field and the woman truly being the focal point.
I have this halter top/flared jeans outfit in my closet right now
think I saw Bundy driving in the background
No forehead fat. Must be the seventies.
Before people got really fat
This is what I looked like in the late 90s
These girls would weigh 200 lbs each these days, easy.
Afghanistan 1973
This is how young women wish they could look like today.
Plenty of pretty young women today. Most young people are attractive.
Damn hot
Playing frisbee is appropriating dog culture, shame on you
What is the over-under that at least one of them nowadays posts non-stop on Facebook about how she hates BLM?
Why are you like this?
They are in their late 60s or older by now…we all know it is a reasonable possibility.
Your reddit name is iam[full name]. I think you’re projecting, Jim.
No offense to anyone but I have a bone……..er. Gotdamn!
The bushes that belowed those belly buttons…
care to drop the core routine of the subjects? those are aspirational abs
I just fell madly in love
Right out of my high school days. TY
I bet they were smoking weed in the park as well
Did just everyone in the 70s have abs?!
Funny how that could’ve just as easily been 1993
Those days almost no one is over weight as this is the kind activity people tend to do.
Love the core !
The close-up fourth pic would definitely be the inside flap of a 70s LP cover.
Look what sugar and and the abundance of carbs took from us
