I don't know the exact definition but certainly associate "moral panic" with something that may or may not have ever existed or never existed to any meaningful extent.
i.e. Did anyone ever actually put a razor blade in an apple on Halloween? Because I suspect that happened approximately never and yet our parents were cutting them open to be safe.
This, on the other hand, is definitely real and documented.
- renewiltord 3y agoNo, that's an "urban myth". Here is an article which describes some of the past https://www.usi.edu/news/releases/2017/02/rock-n-roll-and-moral-panics-part-one-1950s-and-1960s https://www.usi.edu/news/releases/2017/02/rock-n-roll-and-mo... > One of the moral panics associated with the first wave of rock 'n' roll was the fear of race mixing - that young black and white kids would get together over this music that had a rhythmic, primitive, sensuous beat. I have no doubt that young black and white kids got together to the sound of the beat. I'm sure you can find some documented real cases of people of different races falling in love over their shared love of rock 'n' roll.
