roaring twenties
Jazz Age era
The roaring twenties refers to any period of exuberant prosperity, cultural dynamism, or uninhibited living, borrowing from the famous decade: Tech startups had their own roaring twenties before the bubble burst.
The phrase evokes jazz-age energy—speakeasies, flappers, economic boom—applied to later eras of excess or optimism. (Capitalized Roaring Twenties is the 1920s specifically.)
