Did Grease accurately reflect the time period?
The answer to this is yes. It accurately reflected the time period it was set it in. Grease was set to portray the 1950s and transition to the 1960s. The film did not cause an impacted change in society, but was able to reflect the evolution from one era to the next that occurred from the 1950s to 1960s. The culture, teenage way of life, and change in societal structures were reflected through the characters, clothing, music, and subtle messages throughout the film.
