1950s cultural revolution

The 1950s cultural revolution, primarily in the United States and parts of Europe, marked a shift in social norms and values following World War II. This era saw the rise of youth culture, as teenagers embraced rock 'n' roll music, fashion, and rebellion against traditional norms. Household consumerism surged, with the growth of suburbs and the rise of television shaping daily life. Politically, the Cold War influenced society, leading to a mix of conformity and dissent. Artistic movements, such as Beat literature, questioned mainstream culture. Overall, the decade was a dynamic period of change in lifestyle, art, and societal attitudes.
