The 1920s has been known by many name The Roaring Twenties reflecting the postwar boom and overheated stock market. The 1920s were also known as The Jazz Age as society was transformed after the World War I and focused more on youth with dancing such as the Charlston, Flappers ( young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to what was then considered unconventional music (jazz music) and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered "decent" behavior. The flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking hard liquor, treating sex in a more casual manner, smoking cigarettes, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting conventional social and sexual norms ) and technology such as cars and the telephone .after disillusionment with the old order .Since the closing of the 20th Century, the 1920s has drawn close associations with the 1950s and 1990s, especially in the United States. The three decades are regarded as periods of economic prosperity . |
