Zeitgeist means the temper of the times. Therefore, if the author claims that the zeitgeist of the 1920s was one of frivolousness it means that the general mood of the people was that they wanted to avoid seriousness, have fun, be relieved of the pressures of the somber or dark elements of life. Perhaps the author is looking at the authoritarian values of the parent generation and thinking that people wanted to be released from the strict values of an earlier generation.
