Popular music in the US had a profound impact on young people during the 1950's. Here are some examples:
1. Rock N' Roll artists were then appearing on AM radio stations. So-called FM stations ( frequency modulation ) were rare until the middle 1960's;
2. For America's youth, the news spread and like smart phones of today, the thing to do was buy a portable transistor radio in order to be able to listen to the new Rock music of the day;
3. A huge market opened up on this radio innovation. Bell Labs of At & T had invented the transistor and we were all introduced to the "new technology";
4. Now with a market, TV stations began to produce "Teenage Dance Shows" where the new artists appeared. Their style of dress was soon imitated and a boom in new Rock clothing became popular;
5. The parents of American youth frowned on the new music and the new clothes, not to mention the new haircuts for boys;
6. This created a gulf between youth and their parents;
7. Artists like Elvis Presley appeared on hit adult TV stations like the Ed Sullivan Show. The nation was now all about Elvis, his imitators, and the music explosion that was taking place;
The advent of the new technology, the small & portable radios were now taking up what had previously been "family time". The youth of the 1950's and their parents were divided about the new music culture. The American youth "movement" was a new thing with its own culture and heroes and heroines.
Soon Hollywood saw the money to made in Youth movies. Actors like James Dean and Marlon Brando roared in US life. Dean & Brando and other like them portrayed "disenchanted" and "disillusioned" anti -Hero types that became the new fad. T-Shirts & Blue Jeans became the new dress styles.
All of the above made tens of millions of dollars to businesses conducted to the world of Rock N' Roll.
