...about the 1950's.

Anyone be able to tell more about the era?

Just styles, catch phrases, etc.

Stuff like that.

Not wanting to be boorish, but if you don't know anything about it, why not write something else?

Chorus Rapper, as much as i would love to help with your research, i'm not very educated in the subject of the 1950's, but to go off of what the others are saying about writing about what you know...of course you could do that, but why would you want to stick with something you're comfortable with? Choose to write something that challenges you, and something that even challenges you. it's healthy for writers especially to do that once in a while because you'll figure out what you're best at, what you're not so good at, or if you follow through the the 1950's story, a newfound talent. i'd say go for the story though! Good luck! and again, sorry i can't help with the research

In the 50's everyone said "ayy, sit on it!" all the time.

In the 50's, rather than resorting to violence, governments held dance competitions to settle diplomatic disputes.

Hope that helps.
