Drinking alcohol was also a popular activity in the 1920s. The prohibition of alcohol in the United States from 1920 to 1933 led to the rise of speakeasies, which were illegal establishments where alcohol was sold and consumed. Speakeasies became popular gathering places for people who wanted to drink alcohol, and were often frequented by celebrities, politicians, and other high-profile individuals.
Listening to jazz music was another popular activity in the 1920s. Jazz music originated in the African American communities of the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and became popular among white audiences in the 1920s. Jazz music was often played in nightclubs, dance halls, and other public venues, and was seen as a symbol of the cultural diversity and excitement of the 1920s.
Playing sports was also a popular activity in the 1920s. Sports such as baseball, football, and basketball were widely followed, and professional sports leagues such as Major League Baseball and the National Football League were established during this time. Sports events were often attended by large crowds, and were seen as a way for people to come together and enjoy themselves.
Attending movies was also a popular activity in the 1920s. The film industry was booming during this time, and movie theaters became popular gathering places for people of all ages. Movies such as "The Jazz Singer" (1927) and "Citizen Kane" (1941) were released during this time, and were seen as landmarks in the history of cinema.
