What was the most popular music during prohibition?

During the prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933), jazz was the most popular genre of music. Jazz originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans and later spread to other parts of the country and the world. It was characterized by its syncopated rhythms, improvisational solos, and often lively and upbeat melodies. Jazz clubs and speakeasies, which were illegal establishments that sold alcohol, often featured jazz bands, and these venues became popular gathering places for people looking for entertainment and a way to escape the restrictions of prohibition.
