weak analysis man... really weak. I'm not saying that Dazed didn't tap into the socio cultural atmosphere that surrounded the 70s... but the shit also had a foot in the 90s

there was nothing uniquely 70s about that movie... with slight changes it could have been made about the 80s 90s and 2000s because it just tapped into timeless youthful angst.
