Free True Crime Documentary: This 45 minute documentary video takes a look at the real-life cases of youth crime that occurred between the years 1950 to 1961, which concerned society during that time in history. Ironically, for various reasons, most teenagers of that time period were generally unaware of these cases, though they were aware of the fictional Hollywood movies from which these cases either provided the source inspiration for, or reflected. As Instagram does not provide for clickable links, to view this free documentary video, copy the title, or the video links, which are provided below, and paste it onto your browser.  (Typing in the title, and doing a search on YouTube, will also work in locating and accessing the video.)

For Fans of Vintage Fifties Culture: Postwar Youth Gangs, 1950's-era Street Crime, and Rock n' Roll. The YouTube link for this new and FREE educational history documentary, "THE 1950's: JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND THE SHAPING OF ROCK N' ROLL," is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuT5Wn75HUQ&t=4226s The title pretty much tells you what it's about! From Gene Vincent performing at a 1957 youth rally to combat gang violence as a response to the murder of a Chicago honor roll student, to Alan Freed's disastrous 1958 Boston concert, to Dick Clark's introducing of parent-approved clean-cut teen idols in the wake of the murder of a foreign exchange student at the University of Pennsylvania after a local dance party, this is the complete history of the "juvenile delinquency hysteria" linked with the 1950's mainstream's opposition to rock n' roll. We also show however, how the narrative of the 1950's juvenile delinquent was transformed into the campy, sanitized, family friendly (and entirely fictional) "greaser" of the 1970's "Fifties Nostalgia Fad," in order to sell repackaged rock n' roll as "oldies." This is a rock n' roll documentary unlike any other. Copy and paste the title, "THE 1950's: JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND THE SHAPING OF ROCK N' ROLL" into the YouTube browser's search engine to access the documentary for free viewing. #1950s #1950sfashion #1950sstyle #1950sdress #1950svintage #1950srocknroll #1950sgangster #1950sjuveniledelinquent #1950sjuveniledelinquents #1950sgang #1950sgangmovies #1950sgangsters #fifties #fiftiesstyle #fiftiesfashion #fabulousfifties #jamesdean #westsidestory #alanfreedrockandroll #alanfreed #genevincentandhisbluecaps #dickclark #americanband #rockabilly #fiftiesnostalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ515ZLLnf0/?utm_medium=tumblr
