It feels like the 50s were very suburbian-y, with a bit emphasis on the middle class (which we can see through home TVs, public swimming pools, etc). People wanted to have fun with the middle-class money they started to make

The 1950s saw the expansion of the TVs in homes, which perpetuated the cult of domesticity. There was much racism and cultural homogeneity. At the same time there were many pioneering Black musicians and protests for civil rights. - Lily
