I do love to look at antique and vintage photos; the older the better. Some of these are captioned incorrectly though, and it makes me wonder if this is an AI channel. Some of the clothing captioned as typical clothing for the era is not. Some of the beach photos are from the turn of the century or oughts and teens. There was one where the women all had long skirts and big hats from the Edwardian age/Gilded age. Glad I know enough history to know the difference. Too bad the bot doesn't.

The style and quality of everything back then is mind boggling.

[@bestrenderings796]

Yeah that's because women's liberation had not started yet. Patriarchal societies have order, class, dignity, honor. it took 100 years to get to this today. Just 100 years of feminism.

[@662wc5]

@@bestrenderings796 That's not even close to correct. Dating back to beginnings in at least as early as the 1790s in the UK, the women's sufferage movement was well underway in the US by the 1840s. The famous, or infamous depending on your POV, Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention in the US, was in 1848. The movement continued to pick up steam in the 1850s and '60s, slowed only temporarily by the Civil War. Do the names Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton ring a bell? Individual states began granting women the right to vote in 1869, culminating in the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. As for the 1920s, commonly seen as the decade most associated with social change and upheaval until at least the 1960s - "Flappers of the 1920s were young women known for their energetic freedom, embracing a lifestyle viewed by many at the time as outrageous, immoral or downright dangerous. Now considered the first generation of independent American women, flappers pushed barriers to economic, political and sexual freedom for women."

[@bestrenderings796]

@@662wc5 I'm not disagreeing with this timeline you laid out. I agree the industrial revolution sowed the seeds for the wests current demise. I think we are saying the same thing. By the 1920's in the wake of the crippling carnage of WW1 the west, the patriarchal west, was beyond wounded. Therefore a tipping point had been reached ushering in social upheaval that directly leads to the modern malaise that the west finds herself in today. All I'm saying is that 100 years past this tipping point we can stop and look around our civilization and take stock of what has transpired. Our cities are dangerous, ugly and alien to us now. Many of the nicer facades in our once gleaming cities from the guilded age are now deteriorated often surrounded with bums, piss and graffiti. I live in America, I can tell you that European Americans who descended from the people who designed, built and maintained our once lovely cities do not call them home anymore. All I am saying is WHY??? What happened??? I have been curious about this question over the past decade. ( The rot has only accelerated in that time!) And I have found that Civilizations have experienced all of these symptoms in their terminal decline. All great, ordered, and uplifting civilization need strong masculine energy so to speak. Nobody is better off on our current timeline. Not even the women. A huge population of our so called liberated women need happy pills just to cope with their spiritually and emotionally dreadful existence. They traded their homes, children, tradition, and safe networked communities for the proverbial mess of pottage. A 9-5 cubical job. A tiny social circle compared to her recent ancestors, some cats and wine with pills. The bankers, and oligarchs are winning on our current timeline.

[@mica412]

At O mins 52 secs the photo you have detailed as "Amazing Men's Fashion Style" in 1927" happens to be a photo of the man billed as "The World's Greatest Entertainer", not just throughout the 1920's but also well beyond that era, Al Jolson. With respect, I would have expected someone posting a video chronicling "The Roaring Twenties in America" to have known that😕.

[@johnp515]

I thought the same. Al Jolson was a huge star.

These video posters are fan-magazine style researchers and not historians, or even near a history book. Remember this is KZbin and it's a droplet in an ocean if you find a true historian, either amateur or someone of a scholarly discipline.

Where are black Americans found in this? They were an integral part of the 1920s and the cultural changes that were happening.

[@manithangavalu7885]

They only wanted to portray white America. Even the indigenous natives were not included. Segregation and racism was rifed in 1920s.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

They were not, integral yes but integral to the 1920s. Nothing was happening in the 1920s in black evolution, Madame CJ walker and her films and childrens shots from 1924-1927 greatly show life then, and it's pretty great. However something trivial compared to the only things that were making the 1920s, automobiles, and music.

Some of the people pictured here wouldn't have looked out of place in the 1960s, and a few wouldn't have looked out of place even today.

The photograph of the women's movement to repeal prohibition is fascinating. One sign reads "Gangsters want prohibition - We want temperance". "Repeal the 18th Amendment" would make a great t-shirt. Such a shame the old hotel pictures in Florida in St Peterburg and Miami are both gone. In Europe, they'd be protected now as important historical buildings. When I visited L.A. I was shocked at how ugly it was and how they'd just knocked down practically anything historic as they went along. America didn't realise these buildings were their history as sure as castles here in Europe.
