The 1920s saw economic prosperity in the United States driven by new technologies like the automobile, mass-produced by Henry Ford using assembly lines, and installment buying, which let consumers purchase expensive goods without full payment up front.

From Them to Us- The Localization of Music in Anime from Japan to AmericaColin Andrew Grant
油
This document discusses the localization of music in anime from Japan to America. It explains that when early anime was brought to America, the music was heavily edited to sound more American by changing themes, replacing soundtracks, and removing cultural elements. Over time, as anime grew in popularity, music editing became less extreme but was still common practice to make the music more familiar to American audiences. The document interviews several people involved in music localization who explain the business process, which usually involved freelance music editors selecting from pre-existing music libraries to replace the original soundtracks due to costs and desires to Americanize the content.
Hip hop originated in the South Bronx in New York City in the 1970s when DJ Clive 'Cool Herc' Campbell created parties with songs. Over time, hip hop has branched out and incorporated elements from other genres like blues, rap, heavy metal, and dubstep. While some artists portray unhealthy lifestyles like drug and alcohol use, Kendrick Lamar provides a positive representation as a role model who emphasizes education. Hip hop ideologies often portray men as powerful based on their wealth and view women as objects valued for their appearance. Partying, drugs, and alcohol have become central to the genre's modern representation of fame and lifestyle.
