HEY DUDE

I think that the *Art Deco* and *Art Moderne* styles from that time *still* looks stylish and modern today. They applied the Art Deco style in the 1920's to buildings, ships, furniture, cafés and people today still love that style. As for the fashion - well, you're quite right in that it starts to look like pop culture. If one just goes back to the dressing code of 1900-1914 it looks really old-fashioned by comparison and it seems like they forever stuck in the 1850's and just wanted to follow that line/tangent with slight alterations. In the 1920's they realized the simply couldn't have women walk around in giant hats and wide dresses which required a small army of assistants to get into and that men too needed something more "pragmatic" (read actually usable). In the 1920's women also wear short dresses which exposed their legs - something which had been utterly unthinkable prior to WWI. Hats were more simple and made it possible to get close to each other without bumping into them making interaction in public difficult. Speaking of the war, it's quite evident that the horrors of the war sent shockwaves into society and culture and it tore up the old rulebook of what was allowed in art, writing, fashion, architecture, psychology and (naturally) pop culture. It's also fair to say people wanted a fresh start and "something new" to distance themselves from the war and look forward into the future. Radios must have been amazing because now you didn't have to go to some concert hall, a gazebo, a large park or restaurant to hear live music being performed at certain times a week, you could just listen to it all day long at home. Either the radio brought the concert to you (cabled live performances) or they played records (also just entering mainstream) of popular music. And since you just had to pay for the radio and not pay for a ticket to go and see an orchestra perform live music this must have been like "streaming music" was to us in the 00's. The music also broke the mold. "Forbidden music" like jazz, blues and swing became mainstream. It's also interesting to note how the invention of easily manufactured records changed the music too. I found this on the net: "The 1920s was the decade that marked the beginning of the modern music era. The music recording industry was just beginning to form and a myriad of new technologies helped to create the way music was made and distributed. The way the music was recorded changed in the mid-1920s when the acoustical recording process was replaced with the electrical process. This change made the way that recordings were made sound much better and more natural, helping to expand the popularity of recorded music. As the recording process improved, a number of independent record labels also began to appear during the 1920s. These record labels helped to expand the modern music industry because they took risks and and were more adventurous with their song and artist choices." "Prior to the creation of the recorded music industry, popular music was shared through sheet music, piano rolls, and live shows. The second influential technology that helped to create the modern music industry was commercial radio." Apartments were born out of necessity because the often old and unsafe wooden shacks and hastily assembled houses for workers were rapidly becoming too cold, too cramped, too outdated and just too "village-like" to have around in great numbers in the cities. Naturally they came in different sizes and luxury levels which is why the wealthier could afford nice penthouses or panoramic views overlooking parks or a main street. Either way this broke with the previous tradition of 1 family - 1 house. They suddenly became used to another level of interaction. Movies took off too in the 1920's since feature length films didn't even exist at all until 1915 (the controversial "Birth of a Nation"), films with sound were invented so people finally saw films the way they were meant to (no guessing what was being said and then given a cue card between the scenes). John Logie Baird invented the first working television in 1926 too so people in the 20's knew that they would soon get to enjoy "picture radios" too. So, yet the 1920's did indeed very futuristic for the people who lived in that era. A lot of social progress was made too with women given voting rights and in Germany (the Weimar Republic) they even had bars for homosexuals. It's a real shame all that ended with the Great Depression in 1932. Sadly this also exacerbated extremism and hatred. Some people hated the new era and wanted to go back to the "good, old days of order and decency". It's no coincidence the nazis in Germany always appealed to such people because they considered the music, fashion, movies, art and culture "degenerate" and "un-German". The nazis even went so far as to burn books they considered "degenerate" and "un-German". My point being is that many eras have had their progressive people embracing modern culture and living but they also have reactionary forces wanting to turn the clock back and these unfortunately are still among us. Anyways, this must have been an amazing era to witness and fundamentally different to how the world was merely 20 years prior. If we go back to 2001 nothing much is different aside from smart phones and wireless internet.

@@kaleycooper9111 Sure, but it wasn't all bad either, even if you weren't a rich, white man. For women, the 1920s were a time of great possibility where they felt freer than ever before.

Also, women might not have been equal to men, but the previous decade and those to come would cause the greatest loss of life of young men, many merely boys, in centuries.
