Sock hops are commonly associated with the 1950s and 1960s era, which included a particular style of dancing. However, there are many other names for this type of dance event. For example, a "record hop" refers to an event or party focused on dancing to music played on vinyl records. A "dance party" refers to a gathering where the primary focus is dancing, which can be organized in any location, not necessarily just schools. A "jukebox jamboree" is a gathering where people dance to music played on a jukebox, another popular form of entertainment in previous decades. Lastly, "sox tube" is a term used to describe a sock hop but over a video conference.
