This study shows that, despite numerous surface similarities, the
popular culture of the 1930s was different from that of the 1920s
in a variety of ways, and not only because of the Great Depression.
It was a period of quiet desperation and shifting values, one in
which nickels and dimes replaced dollars as the currency of popular
culture, and in which the emphasis was on finding methods to occupy
idle time and idle minds. Popular culture during the 1930s is
important for understanding not only how Americans coped, but why
they did so with such good humor and so little of the discontent
visible elsewhere in the world. An appreciation of popular culture
during the 1930s is essential to understanding other aspects of the
decade.
