Actually, although I certainly like men's clothing styles from the 1945-55 period and also Bepop jazz, that period has its share of problems. Joseph McCarthy, nuclear proliferation and the Korean War come to mind.Marc Chevalier said:Looks like you prefer the late '40s - early '50s. Sort of a mid-to-mid decade. What attracts you to it?
When it comes to elements of popular culture other than men's apparel, I'd go earlier. I like the 1935-45 period for film (Marx Brothers, Thin Man) and music (Django Reinhardt).
It is interesting how this thread reinforces what I believe you mentioned, Marc, in an earlier thread. What we think of as decades of popular culture really run mid-decade to mid-decade. What we think of as the "60s" was really 1965-75, etc.
