For me a lot of it is encapsulated in the old TV show, Hawaii Five-0. 70s styles were over-the-top enough, but when you mix in the trop./Polynesian element you really end up with some remarkable results.
Disco music evokes a certain over-the-top retro feel too. Like so much that we might now call "retro," it presented itself as kind of "risque`" at the time but now seems so innocent.
