Jazz began very popular durning the 20's. Babe Ruth was a famous Yankee, baseball player. Boxing was big- Gene Tunney. Fashion- women started wearing more of a boyish look, and wear short dresses. Movies back in the day didn't have talking. Buying on credit- may people buy now, pay later. Alot of people got cars, but it caused people to go into debt.
