Society is a pendulum that reacts and reacts to itself. The staid Victorians were a reaction to the hedonist Georgians. The Edwardians and roaring 20s were a reaction to the Victorians. The reaction started in the 30s got postponed by the 40s so by the 50s there is a yearning for the stability of grandpa's day. Pretty normal human reaction to stuff.
