What was life like for many american families!? how did it impact women men and teens!? THANK YOUWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: the rise of suburbia!. at that time, new rows of houses in a single community became very popular!. the rise of the teenager!. comic books also begun in the 1950's and so is the rise of the period between childhood and adulthood!. many companies wanted to take advantage of the emerging group!. companies like coke, comic books, even movies portrayed lives of teens!. (before the 1950's, the term teenager wasn't even invented yet)!. 3-D!. the popularity of 3-D glasses for the comic books was also very popular!. drive-ins!. the drive-in movie theatre was quite a convience for moviegoers!. the hula hoop and coonskin caps popular 50's music: 1956 Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog Elvis Presley 1957 Love Letters in the Sand Pat Boone 1958 It's All in the Game Tommy Edwards 1959 Mack the Knife Bobby Darin 1960 Theme From a Summer Place Percy Faith Orchestra 1961 Tossin' and Turrin' Bobby Lewis 1962 The Twist Chubby Checker 1963 Sugar Shack Jimmy Gilmer & Fireballs 1964 I Want to Hold Your Hand Beatles 1965 Satisfaction Rolling Stones as for tv, I Love Lucy was the best tv show!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Immediate post WW2 was a transition period!. With the end of the war, and rationing still in force, and industry in transition from war to peacetime, not a lot of pop culture products were available to consumers!. By 1952, TV starts to overtake radio and Hollywood as the entertainment media!. Magazine publishing (with all their ads) flourishes!. A teen culture emerges that has not political or social agendas, but lots of money to spend! Men and women fell into conformity, with the spouse and kids and a house in suburbia and mowing the lawn every Saturday morning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Right after WW2, there was no so-called pop culture!. At least not yet!. That didn't happen until the mid-50's!. The other two questions deal with sociology!. You best Google them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
