1920's revival? I don't think so.

We've had one, economically speaking.

HECK YEAH.  My Dad was in his 20's during the Roaring Twenties; he said they rocked.  I would not mind partying with some flappers.  :P

I'm gonna go out and get myself a tux with tails, a top hat, and a black walking cane with a sterling silver knob and a white tip.  Maybe even a raccoon coat.  23 Skidoo!!!!!  ;D

No.  1930s possibly, as today's economic circumstances is very reminiscent of the 1930s.  The 1920s still had a lot of Victorian era influences that I don't foresee coming back anytime soon.

and women were hot.

Niche decade revivals are just what they are, niche. People now are bringing back what they can, and the most powerful one right now is 90s revival since the current 20somethings who grew up in the 90s are now looking back on their childhood. Even Nickelodeon noticed this from the numerous Nicktoons dedicated facebook pages and Tumblr(yes they really looked at those pages and decided to make that block) pages and decided to bring back the 90s shows, and it's been one of the most successful things they did in years. People have always been bringing back mismatched elements of older decade. But no one is going to ever fully back to any of those decades, not in fashion, not in anything. If you ever think people will drop all modern fashion, and everybody goes back to that you're mistaken. Usually what's on the runway is just for show or for rich people, not the general public. It's like those people who keep trying to shoehorn steampunk into fashion discussion as a dominant fashion choice, while steampunk isn't practical enough for everyone to ever do it. And a lot of past decade looks like costumes now, as a matter of fact they sell past fashion as costumes now. The 80s(the more radical fashion of the 80s) look silly now, the afros, leisure suits and nehru jackets of the 70s look silly now. In full on garb I mean, when people take these elements and mash them up with what's new, it actually looks like fashion and not a costume.

General fashion will keep moving on, even niche fashion that looks toward the future will keep moving on, but dressing fully like past decades will continue to be niche. Feigning about dressing about past American decades 'As they were so great', is American exceptionalism and traditionalism at it's worst. I love my grandparents, I respect the past, but I don't care about dressing like I came out of a time machine.

Plus it was still downright illegal in some parts of the country.

Although clinics became more common in the late 1920s, the movement still faced significant challenges: Large sectors of the medical community were still resistant to birth control; birth control advocates were blacklisted by the radio industry; and state and federal laws – though generally not enforced – still outlawed contraception.

You'd take her to the local drug store, where they had a soda fountain.  You couldn't order her a Shirley Temple because they were not invented yet, so it was either a Coke or a sasparilla.  The soda jerk would also cook up a couple burgers if you wanted.  :P

After that you'd proceed to the local theatre, probably called the Bijou or the Warner.  In the early 20's they were silent films but by the late 20's they were talkies.  That's back when films were real and none of this ridiculous over-the-top special effects crap.  ::)

Old timers in Boston still call soft drinks "tonic."  That's because "health tonics" were popular before the FDA.  Sometimes the key ingredients were narcotics, stimulants, opiates, or alcohol.  Sometimes it was just snake oil.  The pharmacist would mix the tonic for you, but a lot of those preparations tasted foul, so druggists began to add sweet syrups and phosphates to make them more pleasing.  Thus Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886.  Soda fountains were common in drug stores straight through the 1960s.

Steam punk is actually based on Victorian or Wild West fashions and the science fiction writings of the time.

Did Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle know how to party back then?


Oh yes, of course.  He partied like it was 1999 before people even knew what that meant. 

He took a bum rap in a series of manslaughter trials (first two were hung juries, the last, acquitting one, returned a not-guilty verdict in 14 minutes flat) though and he was essentially blacklisted for the rest of his life.  :-\\  The jury returned not only a not-guilty verdict but the following memo:

Acquittal is not enough for Roscoe Arbuckle. We feel that a great injustice has been done to him... there was not the slightest proof adduced to connect him in any way with the commission of a crime. He was manly throughout the case and told a straightforward story which we all believe. We wish him success and hope that the American people will take the judgement of fourteen men and women that Roscoe Arbuckle is entirely innocent and free from all blame. ”

From the 1920s-1940s Big Band Swing music was REALLY popular. In the 2020s maybe Electro Swing would hit mainstream popularity. Electro Swing is basically 1920s-1940s Swing music, but mixed with Electro Dance Music.

For example in the 1920s-1940s you'd get swing music  like this

I can't see people these days dressing like The 1920's.

I can't see people these days dressing like The 1920's.


I said the same thing about the 2010's fashion, but boy was I wrong. Now I also don't expect fashion to go back to the 1920s either (even if it did it would probably have some modifications), but then again fashion is unpredictable. The 2020s fashion could probably be even more ridiculous than what we have today.

Maybe we'll see a return of silent cinema? The Artist winning best picture proves it can still be done today! Or, if you please, just mute all of your Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Hulu, etc. shows and films.

I saw a lady dressing 1920s on TV today. It was in French though. She had the bob hair with a giant pin on it, then she had a thousand pearl necklaces around her neck and a floral dress. It was a segment about the Lebanese Civil War so it was really out of nowhere.

It would be nice to see a jazz or swing revival, but it was tried in the late 1990s and failed. It's music that actually takes talent though and today, the music industry is more interested in sex appeal than actual talent. Even electro-swing was tried in 2011 but never went anywhere. Kids today would rather listen to Ariana Grande.

Yeah, I suppose people just don't care for Jazz as much anymore. And even things like Electro-Swing which were a modern twist on the Swing genre didn't seem to have much success (sad as I love nearly all Swing and Electro Swing songs). Guess you're right. Being a big jazz fan it's very disappointing that no one knows what I'm talking about when ever I reference a Jazz/Swing/Blues/Electro-Swing band or musician. Who knows when the next Jazz revival comes around. And even if we do have another I don't know if it'll even last that long before dying.

HA! I'm wondering if people these days would even want silent cinema to make a comeback. I watch a lot of silent cartoons from the 1920s, so I'd may be interested in watching some new age silent cinema. But I assume most people prefer to have their movies with sound.

Oh wow. Makes me wonder if the 1920s fashion is back in style in the area that she is from.

- Black and White visuals

- Funny music in the background
- Whenever the character speaks the picture will cut to an image that shows what the character said

Wonder if people these days will be able to sit through something like this. The very fact that the film is in black and white will probably turn them away from it.

I guess you want guys to go out of the house wearing a top hat.  ::)

The women's fashion was interesting.  :) And hey at least the gentleman isn't sagging his pants.  >:(

I don't think top hats were popular in the '20s. It was the small skimmer straw hats for men, and cloche for women. There were other styles too of course.

I don't know.

Wearing the deer skin is important, Howard! He's gonna be in a hell of a lot of trouble without that deer skin.

The 1920's was a very fun time for me to be alive!

Not as great as the 1890s for me but at least we could still walk on the streets without being stopped by the police.

Yeah, you tell 'em! I bet in the 1890's they didn't even invent the deer skin!! >:(

Such uncouth scallions!!! Such filth!!!

Who else thinks societal decay finished in the 20s? It started in 1904 with the ragtime music and the 1910s with the Great War and Picasso. But the 20s the women went completely naked and the fathers went drunk and the children grew up in a godless materialistic culture. They never longed for anything like us 90s kids. The gayety of the 90s were completely dead by 1904. I think us 90s kids are the last to love in an era resembling any normalcy.

The 1890's was an era of hope!

I see nothing wrong with this.

I'd rather not see my mom naked! And I wouldn't parade my wife around the street like some cattle prize! You 20s kids are disgusting  8-P The other day I saw the milkman wearing half pants! A grown man! Soon the fathers will be naked too and you won't be able to tell the difference between a molester and your husband!

Well, yeah, that's why you force your mother and wife to put clothes on. When I think about the 1920s, I think of a very liberating time kinda like the 60's. ;) The only thing missing is that slutty 1997 Emo fringe that everybody had back then. Fashion forward! I dunno what to say about the milkman, though. I'd keep him away from your children as he seems like a lot of trouble.

Nobody cares about the 1920s. That was almost 100 years ago.

1997? I don't want to imagine what that's like. Hopefully Armageddon happens before then, I can't see God tolerating much past this decadent decade.

You're right but I agree for other reasons. I think this decade is so good that society should just stop afterwards. The 1920s the probably the greatest time we will ever have!

I see more 1920s nostalgia than mid-2000s nostalgia IRL  ;D

That isn't possible unless you're talking about 98 year olds being nostalgic for when they were children.

That's 'cause the mid-2000s are the worst. Who the hell wants to go back to the real 00s, anyway? It's like a black hole of boring nothingless. Wing haircuts and PSP, yippee.... ::)

I believe him.

Well, I'm talking about 1920s parties and people dressing flapper and listening to jazz etc. 1920s nostalgia/fandom is actually pretty huge. I wouldn't say "nobody cares", far from it.

The 1920s are nothing but a calendar decade. It was literally 96 years ago. We're only heading into the 20s in 4 more years, those are the 20s that people will care about. The 1920s is old and over, it's on the same level as the 1820s in the interest people should have in it...

Naw, the 1920s are more interesting than that. We had the Great Gatsby movie three years. Admittedly it was awful but it was at the top of the box office for like 3 weeks. I see 1920s references a lot of times just watching TV.

1920s is the first decade that feels "modern" to me. It was the real start of the 20th Century (1910s was build up). The more feminime women's fashion today is more or less building on the styles that started in the 20s.

Similar thing can be said for every other decade. Even more recent ones. Doesn't matter on how old or new a time period is. People will find interest in that time period. Now I don't think a revival will happen, but there are people out there with an interest in the 1920s.

1920s is one of the most interesting decades in history. I've seen tons of people who were interested in the 1920s due to the fact that it was the "Roaring Twenties".

Oh you mean a condom?

You weren't even born in The 1920's.  ::)

Where was there a payphone to call the police?

It helps that my granddad was born 1919 and my grandma in 1923. I feel like the 20s are the last decade I have any real ties to whatsoever. Whenever I see pictures of children in the 20s I can see a bit of my grandparents in them. ;D

Yeah, man. The deer skin! ;)

Soon Jordan will forget all about being Xtreme! as he slowly transforms into a 1920's classy gentlemen. Howard will be their with him.

1919? 1923? I wish I knew parents who were born back in the early 20th century. Oldest family members I knew were born in the 1940s onward. It's interesting as my grandfather was able to see Looney Tunes back when it was taking the world by storm.

Yeah I wish I got to know them better too but they passed away when I was 10/12 so I had zero interest in history. My grandpa tried telling me his war stories but I didn't want to hear much because I thought war was evil. If they were alive I would ask them incessantly about the 20s/30s, they would wish they were dead  ;D I learned a bit about the 40s from my paternal grandma... Picking out coal from the gutters and stuff. It was super interesting.

Yeah, man. The deer skin! ;)


Then say so.

My Dad was born in 1907 and my Grand Dad was born in 1861.  :o

I had a first cousin who was born in 1921.  :)

The generations in my family are a bit out of alignment.  I had a first cousin who was Arnold Palmer's high school teacher. And I have a third cousin in his thirties who finds it hard to believe that his great grandfather was my uncle.  ;D

I never knew that your cousin can be Arnold Palmer's high school teacher. He's gotta be over 100 years old or something. The teacher, not Arnold Palmer. It's kinda weird, because most of my family was born in the 20th century.

Well my cuz passed away over 20 years ago; she'd be 92 if she were still alive.  Amongst my first cousins, she was the second oldest and I am the youngest.

I dunno, we might have to wait for the next decade to get that kind of technology.

No, he died long before I came along. I did know my other grandpa though, and he was born in 1876.  :)
