The Roaring Twenties is a nickname for the 1920s in the United States. It was a time of hope, prosperity, and cultural change. Americans fell in love with the automobile, which radically changed their way of life.

@@bestrenderings796 That's not even close to correct. Dating back to beginnings in at least as early as the 1790s in the UK, the women's sufferage movement was well underway in the US by the 1840s. The famous, or infamous depending on your POV, Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention in the US, was in 1848. The movement continued to pick up steam in the 1850s and '60s, slowed only temporarily by the Civil War. Do the names Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton ring a bell? Individual states began granting women the right to vote in 1869, culminating in the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. As for the 1920s, commonly seen as the decade most associated with social change and upheaval until at least the 1960s - "Flappers of the 1920s were young women known for their energetic freedom, embracing a lifestyle viewed by many at the time as outrageous, immoral or downright dangerous. Now considered the first generation of independent American women, flappers pushed barriers to economic, political and sexual freedom for women."

@@662wc5 I'm not disagreeing with this timeline you laid out. I agree the industrial revolution sowed the seeds for the wests current demise. I think we are saying the same thing. By the 1920's in the wake of the crippling carnage of WW1 the west, the patriarchal west, was beyond wounded. Therefore a tipping point had been reached ushering in social upheaval that directly leads to the modern malaise that the west finds herself in today. All I'm saying is that 100 years past this tipping point we can stop and look around our civilization and take stock of what has transpired. Our cities are dangerous, ugly and alien to us now. Many of the nicer facades in our once gleaming cities from the guilded age are now deteriorated often surrounded with bums, piss and graffiti. I live in America, I can tell you that European Americans who descended from the people who designed, built and maintained our once lovely cities do not call them home anymore. All I am saying is WHY??? What happened??? I have been curious about this question over the past decade. ( The rot has only accelerated in that time!) And I have found that Civilizations have experienced all of these symptoms in their terminal decline. All great, ordered, and uplifting civilization need strong masculine energy so to speak. Nobody is better off on our current timeline. Not even the women. A huge population of our so called liberated women need happy pills just to cope with their spiritually and emotionally dreadful existence. They traded their homes, children, tradition, and safe networked communities for the proverbial mess of pottage. A 9-5 cubical job. A tiny social circle compared to her recent ancestors, some cats and wine with pills. The bankers, and oligarchs are winning on our current timeline.

I do love to look at antique and vintage photos; the older the better. Some of these are captioned incorrectly though, and it makes me wonder if this is an AI channel. Some of the clothing captioned as typical clothing for the era is not. Some of the beach photos are from the turn of the century or oughts and teens. There was one where the women all had long skirts and big hats from the Edwardian age/Gilded age. Glad I know enough history to know the difference. Too bad the bot doesn't.

You are correct about the picture. I Googled it and it appears don't the "Digital Library of America" as "Photograph of a Charleston dance contest in St. Louis on November 13, 1925" which I trust to be more accurate. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "first came on the scene in 1925? It says online it first appeared in 1923. I guess it took a couple of years to be popularized. It does say it peaked around 1926 and then fell out of fashion slowly after that as these things do.

Such a shame the old hotel pictures in Florida in St Peterburg and Miami are both gone. In Europe, they'd be protected now as important historical buildings. When I visited L.A. I was shocked at how ugly it was and how they'd just knocked down practically anything historic as they went along.
