Rock and Roll properly started in the 50s when there was the big boom money wise for kids like us after the war. Social structure was in ruins because a lot of people were dead, buildings/businesses/economy, completely destroyed and being re-built, so it was easier for young people to earn a bit of money and be able to spend it in a way they liked..ie. on clothes they thought looked cool ( teenagers didn't officially exist till the 50s), not what their parents wore, music that they liked. TV started to get big and people began to own them. Cinema got bigger. General media entertainment as people needed more escapism.

Travel was more accessable and there was more of a connexion between Britain and America. So began Youth Culture..so began Rock and Roll (Rock and Roll isn't just music, its a style/fashion/attitude/ general lifestyle).
