Gay Nineties
The Gay Nineties is an American nostalgic term referring to the decade of the 1890s. It is known in the United Kingdom as the Naughty Nineties, and refers there to the decade of supposedly decadent art by Aubrey Beardsley, the witty plays and trial of Oscar Wilde, society scandals and the beginning of the suffragette movement.〔(The Naughty Nineties: Literature and Social History )〕
Despite the term, the U.S. had little prosperity throughout most of the decade. An economic crisis developed in the beginning of the decade because of high tariffs and the introduction of low-valued silver coinage to counter growing inflation. The economic crisis greatly worsened when the Panic of 1893 set off a widespread economic depression in the United States that lasted until 1896.
==Etymology==
The term ''Gay Nineties'' itself began to be used in the 1920s in the United States and is believed to have been created by the artist Richard V. Culter, who first released a series of drawings in ''Life'' magazine entitled "the Gay Nineties" and later published a book of drawings with the same name.〔Culter,Richard (1928). ''The Gay Nineties, An Album of Reminiscent Drawings'', Doubleday, Doran & Company,Inc.〕 The phrase has nothing to do with the term ''gay'' to refer to homosexuality, although a well-known gay bar in Minneapolis, Minnesota uses the phrase as its name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gay 90's - Minneapolis Night Club )〕
