During the 1920s, many Americans delighted in the consumer products and commercial leisure activities that made up a new mass culture. Many of these activities -- reading best-seller books, listening to the phonograph, dancing at nightclubs, and attending professional and college sporting events -- became defining features of modern American culture. Professional sports figures became famous. For instance, baseball player Babe Ruth typified the culture's emphasis on frivolity and celebrity. Two of the most popular mass culture activities were listening to the radio and going to the movies. The number of commercial radio stations increased from one to well over 800 between 1920 and 1929. National radio networks, such as the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), were established. Movie attendance also soared during the decade -- movies attracted three-fourths of the population each week. Although often criticized as frivolous, these activities exposed Americans to ideas, trends, and fashions outside their local community. Thus, they helped Americans connect with the larger national community and helped diminish some of the regional, ethnic, and social differences that had existed in America.. Culture Diffused?.
