The 70s might be long gone, but its captions live on thanks to the likes of Instagram. If you’ve wandered into the hashtag, then you’ll have seen people adding captions like ‘Groovy,’ ‘Radical,’ and ‘Far Out’ to post photographs from the 70s. Often these are accompanied by a groovy cat emoji, some peace signs, or a disco ball. In homage to this trend, we thought it would be fun to take something iconic from the 70s and see how it might translate into an Instagram caption.
The 70s were good for many things (fashion, music, and movies), but captions weren’t one of them. But you don’t have to put up with the lack of creativity that plagued that great decade. Here are some captions for Instagram quotes from the 70s.
