My decade? The 80s and early 90s. Too young for the 70s, and too cynical for anything since about 96.
Oh, and for all you musicians out there, a big

to you. I have no musical ability and both love it and hate it.

No, they're the right way up - that's the whole point of having left hand and right hand guitars.
Some left-handed people who choose to use Right handed guitars re-string them to put the strings in the usual top to bottom order but if I remember correctly (and I may not!) Hendrix didn't bother.
So a left handed guitar and a right handed one come with markings like tyres saying this way up etc. But some guitarists believe in living dangerously and ignore the right way up method.
Fascinating

I've not quite perfected this as I don't think I've the strength to ride a bike upside down using my lid as the road contact. However I can do sideways
