They found a way to assert their tastes. Adoslescents abandoned the increasing living room to live in their family room. They spent a lot of time to prepare their homework, including reading. The phonograph plays an essential role to play their favorite records. And most importantly, they listened to the radio on their cell transistor. They danced rock, twist, the madison. The slows, more tender, were also popular because they resembled girls and boys. They were also found in the film, one of their favorite hobbies.
