I do always associate these dancethon stunts with 1950s teenagers, so it’s interesting to see this sort of cultural artifact occurring a generation earlier.Report
I grew up with a number of movies about the 1950’s teenagers… everything from Rebel without a Cause to Grease 2. I don’t know that I’ve seen a single 1950’s movie about being a teen in the 1920’s.
Well, maybe Gatsby counts. (But I was always told that that was less about being a teenager and more about the Death of the American Dream.)Report
