Seriously I don't mean to be obnoxious because it happened to me and I'm like this and I'm here because I'm researching Michael Jackson right now and he sang this... But I think more people were like this... Humble, shy, respectful, because they got their butts whooped and they only got prizes when they were really actually good at something not just for trying. I am glad people are nicer now though... But it comes at a little cost of people being arrogant (unwarranted) imo. I think it just changes you somehow. Not at all saying it's good to beat kids!

I was a child of the '50s and a youth of the '60s. I was too young to go to the "sock hop" and other '50s teenager activities of the decade but I watched my older teenage sister and brothers do all of those things and I learned a lot about '50s teen culture from them and from watching some shows on television that featured teen oriented entertainment. For me, as a little boy growing up all through the 1950s, it was the happiest time of my life and I absolutely loved the music! I listened to our big old radio all day, every day, morning to night. I listened to every song, regardless of genre and I liked virtually all of them but especially my favorite, Elvis, or as we kids called him, "Uncle El". He was truly electrifying because white audiences had never seen or heard anyone like him before. Of course he got much of his style and look and music from his favorite Black entertainers. I loved Little Richard just as much as Elvis...maybe even more. Anyway, I would not judge the 1950s by today's social standards. I completely agree the racism was horrible, and I lived in the North where it wasn't nearly as blatant as it still was in the Deep South at that time. I hated racism and refused to participate in it (I'm white.) I grew up in an integrated neighborhood and school so had Black friends who taught me much about their culture. But accepting everyone as they were, as a person, no matter what, was all I could do. And as for the "we all were terrified of the Atomic Bomb" in the 1950s...as it was depicted in the movies, yes, that was true. But in real life I never knew one kid who was scared or worried about Russia dropping the Atomic Bomb on us. We just didn't worry about it although we were very well aware of it due to all of the media propaganda. Maybe we '50s kids were 'fatalists'. We couldn't do anything about The Bomb so we just accepted it and lived our lives. Yes, racism and the threat of nuclear war was a real thing in the '50s in America but most everyone I knew, young and old, lived reasonably happy lives. All things taken in consideration: the good of the 1950s outweighed the bad. That's not to diminish the very bad things, but we dealt with them as best we could. (Those of us who cared.) I loved the '50s. I felt a sense of freedom and was happy. Getting back to the music: I loved this song, Rockin' Robin.

In my neighborhood in the 1950s we used to have dance parties on neighbors patios etc. Always had adults to chaperone but it was so cool. Wouldnt trade growing up in the 1950s for anything. Dad worked, my mom was a housewife who took care of me & my 3 brothers. Played in the street or yard with friends until it got dark or dinner time. Good fun music or romantic songs. Nothing foul or crass...that came much later. I thank the Lord for all he had given us. This WORLD is very very different now
