He calls them puerile, and the line “What could be duller than that?” is often repeated, featuring ridiculous and over-the-top examples of what might be seen as typical behavior of the group by the general public. The group’s aesthetic and membership had a large effect on Coward’s work, particularly earlier on in his career.Ī well-known Coward song, first featured in Cochran’s 1931 revue and going on to feature in Oh, Coward! called “Bright Young People” explores some of Coward’s thoughts on the group. A fair few well-known names are thought to have been part of the group, including playwright Noel Coward. Known for large, frivolous parties, the group of young aristocrats, socialites, and artists were often featured in newspapers for their wild all-night scavenger hunts around the town and other antics. The Bright Young People were the talk of the town in London in the 1920s.
