I'll stick with the 1920s.

I'm curious what this video overview of "a century of some trends in clothing, music, and dance styles" has to do with a new shopping center in East London. Will shops there specialize in vintage clothing and will shops there sell music from the non Pop genres that were featured in that video? (Btw, how is music sold in physical stores nowadays given ipods have overtaken cds?)
Also, what is the racial/ethnic demographic of East London? Regardless of that areas' demographics, in my opinion, that video would have been greatly improved if it had featured different races of people dancing.
Furthermore, it seemed to me that almost all of those dances featured in that video were of Black (African American) origin. Weren't there any social dances that originated in the England or the rest of the UK in the last century which could have been featured in this video? If not, that's simply amazing.

It's an ad. I'd simply take it for what it is. Nonsense.

Nothing new about Westfield - http://uk.westfield.com/london/
Been there years. And while I understand it's something like the largest retail site in Europe, I'd bet every pound in my purse that it's populated by the big high street chains of the UK and that unit rentals are far too high for independents who might have something different.

I live a short distance from the shopping centre that this advert is promoting. It is a gentrification-shaped disaster for people living in the area.

A ringtone or iPhone着信音 is a sound made by a telephone to indicate an incoming call or text message. Not literally a tone nor an actual ring anymore, the term is most often used today to refer to customizable sounds used on mobile phones.

Good afternoon friends, do you know what I can advise you? Tubidy is a service that allows you to download music for free, and it's very easy to convert video to MP3. It's all done with just a click of the mouse! It's great because I love listening to music on my phone, but I don't always want to download the whole song to listen to on the train or while walking the dog. Give it a try and you'll be glad you did it.
