Why are the 1920s often called the roaring 20's?

Interestingly, the term "roaring twenties" became more popular after the decade had ended-- for example, in the 1930s, the term showed up movies and songs that looked back on the 1920s. But yes, some people in the 1920s did call it the "roaring twenties," to refer to the dramatic social change that occurred during that decade. From 1920-1929, the economy was booming, women had gotten the right to vote, more young people (including people of color) were attending college, hairstyles and fashions had changed (women no longer had to wear long dresses or have long hair, for example, and even for men, styles had become more comfortable); and popular dances and popular music changed too. Also, radio came onto the scene, and it played a major role in all of that social change, making a new generation of songs popular and helping previously unknown performers to become famous. It was a decade when almost anything seemed possible... until the stock market crashed in 1929 and the fun and freedom of the roaring twenties came to a sudden end.
