As I learned it, Gertrude Stein was the sort of mother of literature for the "lost Generation." Some of the best insights into the period can be found in the pages of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Henry Miller and Anais Nin to name a few.
At the same time in American Music, legends like Charlie "The Bird" Parker were breaking new ground in Jazz. His abstract riffs call out with the same contrast as Jackson Pollock or Salvador Dali did with surreal expression in the art world.
Every nation on the planet found solace in their own personal Folk Music as Nationalism swept the political landscape. Radical communism was painted as the political threat of the time, due to genuine popularity. * As people we will always feel like we want to share everything when we have nothing. *
Prohibition against intoxicating liquors as an enforced reality gives us an idea of the desperation of these times. The Global Economy was in depression. Weather patterns and over forestation created a "dust bowl" famine. Europe seemed to have fared better, which is probably why all those artists who could afford to, fled the US during this period. This scenario oddly sounds not too far from today.

C. Notably, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Many of these people fled to France. The phrase was coined by Gertrude Stein.

All of the above, in various sources.
Stein, who coined the term, was referring primarily to C, the writers.
