It was an decade that was considered the first modern and was a reaction to the devastation that was World War I. Because of the mass migration from rural areas to the cities, many jazz musicians came to major cities and jazz music and dance escalated to popularity. As jazz had just become a part of American culture, it was fitting for Fitzgerald to include it in his novel. Music plays during different parts of the novel to convey the desired mood through another medium.
