The 20's in America was a time of exponential growth. Economics was changing and growing. Women had started to develop rights, and the stock market was booming.
In the 1920s women's rights started to evolve. At the time, women were now allowed to vote. Also, the way women dressed started to change. Women started to wear shorter dresses and sassy haircuts. Lastly, more women started to smoke....WOW!
But, what is interesting is that 100 years later, America still does some of the same things. History.com states, "People from coast to coast bought the same goods (thanks to nationwide advertising and the spread of chain stores), listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang." With the amount of technology, the same activities are still happening.
With the craze of the social media world, America constantly wants to see what others are doing. Comedy sensation, Shiggy, made a viral dance to Drake's "In My Feelings". The world went crazy. Everyone started doing the "KEKE" dance. From news anchors to babies, to senior citizens - everyone started to do it.
This can be tied to the 1920s due to the fact that when something was popular or "viral" everyone started to do it. White, Blacks and every other race started doing the Jitterbug, Tango, and Waltz. This was due to the dances being featured on TV, in clubs, and in other places.
