Swing Era

Though World War Two was interesting the the sense that everyone came together and helped the war effort, I feel that the Swing Era was more interesting.. The feeling that Swing music gives me, and I'm sure gave many people when it was first performed, is like no other kind of genre of music. This was what ignited a kind of energy and revitalized the youth of the '20s and '30s, which to me is just amazing considering that there was a depression in the U.S. Of course, every new genre of music such as rock n' roll seems to be hated by the adults, but imagining that kids went out and danced and went a little crazy because of music that does not even have vocals fascinates me. I love music without vocals, I love bands that emphasise the talents of the musicians, and I love music that makes people happy; therefore, the genre Swing as well as its entire era gets in A+ in my book.
