The music industry was almost destroyed by the Great Depression. But the popular music business was able to quickly rebound and became the second most popular form of entertainment during the Depression behind the movies. The most popular dances, also of the 1920s, were the Foxtrot, waltz and tango, the Charleston, and Lindy Hop. Dance Marathons became very popular. The music revival began with the invention of the 78-rpm record which only cost 35 cents and the jukebox, which would play songs for a nickel. The big bands provided cheap entertainment. For 50 cents or less, the young jitter buggers could dance for hours at clubs listening to the music of Benny Goodman, Harry James, and other big band leaders. The radio, which broadcast big band "gigs" were as cheap as $10 and became depression-era Americans' favorite form of home entertainment.
Baseball was the reigning king of sports in America in the 20s and 30s. But it suffered like the rest of the economy. Attendance dropped from 17 million in 1929, to 11 million in 1933. During the 1930s, sports became both mass entertainment and recreation. Soccer, swimming, athletics, boating, and camping became inexpensive, popular sports. Boxing was also very popular as a spectator sport.
