About 50s
The 1950s were known for their wholesomeness. The first full decade as a return to normalcy after WWII, the United States experienced a population explosion with families reunited after the war. The result of this "baby boom" had many of these children born after WWII growing up in the 1950s or who had become teenagers. Rock n' Roll music featuring the likes of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly was very popular as were poodle skirts, malt shoppes, and motorcycle riding boys dubbed Greasers for the amount of product used in their hair as for their mechanical natures working on their bikes or cars.
