Also WRT what you saw in film, the era's you reference were restricted by the Hayes code. Look at movies from the 1920s, pre code and things were a lot less straight arrow. Movies abandoned the code in the 1960s with predictable results. Broadcast television was under similar restrictions by the FCC.

Sure the whole decade of the 20’s was hedonistic for young people in the west some say because of the hell experienced from the war. However it was inevitable imo that would change and not just because of financial devastation of the 30’s. Old people weren’t typically hedonistic they were socially conservative.
