The Change from the 1950s to the 1970s

There are a lot of factors that went into the culture shift from the 1950's to the 1970's. The must drastic underlying creator of change would be the Vietnam War, in my opinion. This created the biggest uproar and chaotic unrest into the US's society. There were thousands of Americans killed, many for a cause that the majority of people thought was useless. I think this opened the gates for art and entertainment to reach that darker plateau because of the anxiety and extreme uneasiness that was felt because of our involvement in this war.
