I don’t think it’s fair to compare flappers to egirls. Flappers were a social movement pushing for gender equality! The stereotypical egirl feeds on the attention of men and flappers were notably independent women
Vamped in this context means “seduced by”, although the term vamp is also what more daring flappers would be called. Vamps we’re basically flappers who dressed more erotically and gave even less of a fuck about being seen drinking and smoking than the flappers did.
“Girls like to be called snuggle-puppies,” one school administrator told the reporter. "They grant the boys liberties. Encourage them to take them and if the young chaps do not, they are called ‘sissies’, ‘poor boobs’ or ‘flat tire.’ "
"Speaking to 1,500 students at Wellesley College in 1921, Mrs. Augustus Trowbridge — the wife of a Princeton professor — railed against “the vulgarity and revolting badness of petting parties.” She said that the loose-moraled gatherings — along with jazz music, unchaperoned dancing and lipstick — were symptomatic of a decadent society
I’m thankful that this slippery slope actually came to fruition. Unfortunately, while we aren’t as lonely because of repressive culture, we are still lonely. Probably has to do with capitalism. That’s the real “revolting badness” that’s “symptomatic of a decadent society.” Starving children and mega-yachts, not flappers and petting parties.
I’m not willing to Google the answers for the rest, but a flapper was a woman in the 1920s who broke social norms by drinking, smoking, and dressing “provacatively” (oh no, skirts!)
It’s the type of woman associated with the Roaring Twenties and I expect you’ve seen pictures of them and just didn’t know the name. Think The Great Gatsby.
Translation pls? What is vamped? What is a flapper (girl)? What is snuggle pupping? What is a petting party?
Boys [seduced] by [20s version of e-girls], parents cry.
Girls blamed for [hand stuff/2nd base] and [parties where hand stuff was done in a group setting but only with one partner] nowadays.

Reexamine your opinion on the e-girl subculture because I did not mean it derogatorily.
Some flappers were pushing for gender equality. Some of them were just out to have a good time. The equivalent of a nightclub hopper.
E-Girls aren’t what you might think what they are:

Thx
Is second base handjobs?
yeah
bit more context here.
Jesus, that guy on the left is only about 20 and he’s missing half of his teeth.
Post-industrial society finally gave the working class venues for a lot of the party culture we see today. It finally became available to the poor.
