What was the dominant music of the 1920s in the United States?

The Roaring Twenties refers to the period of the 1920s in North America (including the United States and Canada). The decade encompassed so many exciting events that some have called it "the most colorful era in history": the return of American soldiers from the front lines of the European War kicked off the era, followed by the birth of new art in the form of jazz, and the emergence of the new, confident face of the modern woman. Although the Great Catastrophe of 1929 brought it to an end, the period was marked by countless far-reaching inventions, an unprecedented wave of industrialization, an overwhelming consumer demand and desire, and a radical change in lifestyles that is still unforgettable. The Roaring Twenties began in North America and spread to Europe as a result of the end of WWI. The latter had been plagued by recession since the end of World War I in 1919, and thus had been committed to post-war reconstruction and restoration of a decimated labor force caused by the war. Unlike after World War II, the United States did not attempt to support Europe's post-war recovery, but instead further favored isolationist policies. In Canada, the replacement of Britain by the United States as a major economic partner led to a critically important economic transition in the country's history. Overall, the North American economy began to outstrip Europe's from the mid-1920s onward, and almost simultaneously, the Roaring Twenties began to take hold in several major European countries, including Britain, France, and Germany. the second half of the 1920s was characterized as the "Golden Twenties" in Europe, and the "Crazy Years" in France and Canada. In France and Canada, it was also known as the "Years of Madness" (annees folles). The essence of the Roaring Twenties can be characterized as a somewhat incongruous combination of modernism and anti-traditionalism. It was a time when modern science seemed to make everything possible, when the potential for economic and technological development seemed limitless, and when everyone sensed that a new and very different era was about to dawn. Audience-oriented means of communication such as trains, automobiles, telephones, and radios spread modernism among the people, and the principle of pragmatism led to the removal of all unnecessary redundancies, both in architecture and in everyday life. At the same time, upbeat entertainment such as jazz and dance flourished, which is why this period is also known as the "Jazz Age".
