Why were 1970s fashions just so bad, so loud?

My explanation is the rapid income growth in the 1950s and 60s caught fashion designers short.

Up until the 1970s, and the swinging 60s in London where a tastes of that, clothing design for the masses is very much functional. It took 10 to 15 years for the fashion designers to work out how to respond to this sudden increase in demand for clothing as an expression of individual identity.
By the 1980s and 1990s, people were able to dress with distinction in finely cut clothing without the need to be gauche and loud.
