"seventies modern" is a phrase that's used to describe an era of culture or design that existed during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It's typically used to describe elements of popular (and often kitsch) architecture, fashion, interior design, etc. The phrase typically describes something that was thought of as "dated" or outmoded during the 1970s, but then became increasingly popular again in the 1980s.
