The social changes during the 20's came about, partially because of the radio and with it music. Without the radio and the opportunities to own a radio, the first major social change would've never occurred. The radio brought with it jazz music that was not perviously listened to. The jazz music also lead to new clothes (mostly in women's). The clothes were shorter, looser and showed drastically more skin than before. These changes came about because of the radio, but the radio wouldn't be about or at least common is the US wasn't going through its economic boom. Because people believed that there was never going to be another war, they felt they could spend more money, and because people were spending more money, there was more jobs, which in turn started the circle again. People also felt invisible during this time, they had just won the war, women's rights were moving along and they were free from the thought of another war ever again. With this feeling of invisibility came social change. People felt they had the power, the right even to change. The economic boom vastly contributed to the social changes that occurred in the roaring 20's.
