1920's vs Now Teens

Throughout the decades, the generations change mass amounts. During the 1920's there was many differences between that decade, and recent times. The 1920's was more of a jazz age. They had wild rich parties, some as seen in the novel/film (The Great Gatsby). After World War I, the peace that was made was disturbed by racism and the experiment of prohibition. The 1920's was a rebellious stage for teens in the 1920's. There was dancing and drinking at clubs which was and was not allowed. The way that the teens lived in the 1920's had some similarities and differences to how the teens in our generation act. The teens now still like to rebell, drink (some) and dance. The music was some what different, seeing as many teens now a days do not listen to jazz so much. The common music now is more hip/hop rock, rap, etc. Dating for teens was different for the teens in the 1920's than it is now. Teens did not have as much freedom back then. Now, teenagers are driving and have cars to take them out on dates. There is also much more entertainment and things to do in the world since it is such a high technology generation.
