It is not a formal, widely recognized epoch label, but it functions as a convenient shorthand to discuss overlapping developments that shape late modern history, including political upheavals, social change, and technological experimentation across multiple regions.

During this period, the Cold War framework, decolonization, and regional conflicts shaped international relations. Civil rights movements, feminist and labor activism, and student protests redefined politics and societies in many countries. Economic dynamics included postwar growth in some areas, oil shocks in the 1970s, and the beginnings of globalization, as manufacturing and information flows expanded beyond traditional centers.

Culturally, the era witnessed rapid changes in music, film, literature, and fashion, with youth culture influencing mainstream culture. Technological advancements included space exploration, computing, and early digital technologies that foreshadowed later information-age developments. Environmental awareness began to emerge, alongside consumerism and mass media expansion that connected distant audiences more closely than before.
