Jazz Age
The Jazz Age was a period in the 1920s and 1930s in which jazz music and dance styles rapidly gained nationwide popularity in the United States. The Jazz Age's cultural repercussions were primarily felt in the United States, the birthplace of jazz. Originating in New Orleans, jazz soon spread to Chicago, New York City, and across the country.
Origins[edit]
The Jazz Age is often associated with the Roaring Twenties, a post-World War I period of prosperity and growth. The term "Jazz Age" was coined by F. Scott Fitzgerald, who saw the period as characterized by a general loosening of social structures. The movement was largely affected by the introduction of radio and the rise of the advertising industry.
Cultural Impact[edit]
The Jazz Age had a significant cultural impact, influencing fashion, language, and the arts. Women's fashion became more liberal, with flapper styles and bobbed hair becoming popular. The period also saw a shift in language, with new slang terms emerging. The Jazz Age also had a profound impact on the arts, particularly literature, with authors like Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald gaining prominence.
End of the Jazz Age[edit]
The Jazz Age is often said to have ended with the onset of the Great Depression in 1929. However, the influence of jazz music and culture continued to spread internationally, influencing many aspects of society and culture.
