United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. is a 1948 decree that changed Hollywood.
With this decree, film studios started divesting themselves of their theatre chains, indie producers and directors won freedom and films in the indie, foreign and alternative genres sprang up.
Also contributing to major changes in Hollywood in the post-WWII era was television
Television's popularity led to a decline in movie theatre attendance, but also led Hollywood to develop larger-than-life, innovative and creative experiences that television could not replicate.
Some of the noted film innovations, including widescreen and stereophonic sound, were not enough to prevent television's popularity, but did successfully change the Hollywood film industry.
With innovations, such as widescreen and stereo sound, Hollywood successfully made a pivot towards blockbusters and high-end visual experiences, but also made a surge in colour production.
Hollywood also started to target a younger demographic wanting to leave the house (pivoting from the older demographic who stayed home with television).
CinemaScope has anamorphic lenses to squeeze a wide picture onto standard film, making widescreen affordable for film theatres around the world.
VistaVision is a widescreen film format for higher resolution and clarity.
Panavision is a company that develops superior lenses to counter visual distortions in close-ups.
Technicolour is a process to counter early television's monochrome.
Eastmancolour is a cheaper alternative to the expensive three-strip Technicolour process, which allows more films to be shot in colour than monochrome.
Some of the other contributors to Hollywood's major changes included the blacklist coming from the HUAC trials and the striking down of the Hays Code.
In the 1950's, the rise of the teenage demographic changed Hollywood, forcing filmmakers to create a entirely new category for youths in the post-Paramount decree and television era.
Just before the 1950's, films were made for general audiences.
In addition, the main exhibition venue for general films in the pre-1950's era was a downtown-based movie theatre chain owned by film studios, featuring a lavish look.
Plus, the core themes for general films in the pre-1950's era were escapism, romance, patriotism and traditional values.
Besides, general films in the pre-1950's era used orchestral scores and homogenized pop music.
The post-Paramount decree/television era, particularly the 1950's, meant that films were being created exclusively for teens and young adults.
Furthermore, the main exhibition venue for youth-targeted cinema in this post-1950's era was an indie theatre chain based in neighbourhoods and drive-in theatres based in outskirts.
In addition, the core themes for youth-targeted cinema in the post-1950's era were rebellion, romantic angst, alienation and anti-authority sentiment.
Youth-targeted cinema in the post-1950's period also used modern rhythm & blues and rock music.
Both the 1948 Paramount decree and television's early popularity are signs signalling the end of a rigid period for Hollywood, and a fresh and new generation of stars arrived.
Furthermore, both the Paramount decree and television's early popularity also led Hollywood to end its philosophy, which was "something for everyone."
With both the Paramount decree and the early popularity of television, American cinema underwent its transformation from a general entertainment habit into a targeted, youth-driven subculture.
The blacklist from the HUAC trials and the striking down of the Hays Code also contribute to changes affecting Hollywood.
Marilyn Monroe is the defining icon of the post-decree, post-blacklist, post-Code and television era.

Besides, call-and-response backing vocals, chords and moans, all coming from gospel, are also used in mainstream pop/soul music.
Standard ad-libs being utilized in the pop/rhythm & blues/soul music lyrics include "Yeah," "Oh/Ooh," "Whoa/Woah," "Mmm/hmm," "Uh/Huh," "Ah/Ahh," "Hey!," "Oww!"/"Ow!" and "Woo!"

Furthermore, the other variant ad-libs are "Mmm, yeah" and "Woah, yeah, uh-huh."

Using wet hair for girls/women (either in music videos or in live performances) translates the physical effort of a soulful performance into a visual language of sweat, rain and raw intensity.
Incidentally, for female music artists, this wet hair and ad-lib combo could turn them into visceral/real performers leaving behind the polished star image.
For female singers, they utilize their voices to offer the intimacy (ad-libs, whispers and sighs) and their styling to provide the intensity (wet hair, rain and sweat) in either music videos or live events.
