🎼 Life as a Teen 🎶

- The 1940s music was greatly influenced by WWII. Big

band and Jazz were the two most popular genres.

- Rhythm and Blues began to become popular and the

beginnings of Rock and Roll were underway.

- During the early '40s, the influence of the Great

Depression was still evident in the fashion of the

period,women's outfits still being long, and ankle

length dresses were phasing out.

- during the wartime era of 1939 to 1945, men's fashion

experienced a need for practical and sturdy

clothing. Suits lost their vests, pocket flaps, and

trouser cuffs, and the use of natural fibers.

- like today not only American teenagers enjoyed

sports, and watching it. In the 1940's the most game

enjoyed was baseball.

- black students in the 1940's were given unequal

educational rights.

- students were disproportionally assigned to non

Academic tracks.
