This was a worldwide phenomenon. The ugliest most boring buildings are all from the 60s and 70s in NYC too. Same in Australia I've seen. My high school in TX was built in the 70s and intentionally modeled after a prison: they thought eliminating all windows and keeping students in a contained, dark environment would be best for their learning and development. What were people thinking in the 70s?!
- Grishnakh 11y agoI don't know, but I find it interesting that the 70s, when buildings looked horrible and so did cars (at least American ones), were also the time that produced some of the greatest music, such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Contrast that to today, where we rightfully recognize that 70s architecture was crap and cars look pretty good in general, yet all music made since 2000 is utter crap and there's definitely nothing coming out as seminal as Led Zeppelin IV or Dark Side of the Moon.
