The Counterculture Hippie Movement of 1960s and 1970s ....
Counterculture was an alternative lifestyle developed during 1960s by individuals who would later be called hippies, freaks, or long hairs. They had same convictions as that of New Left Movement because they wanted to overhaul domestic policies in America. They were not satisfied with the status quo or the prevailing value and culture that emerged after WWII ended and wanted to keep away from that American society. This is why it is termed as counterculture. They attempted to establish their own towns, economy, political institutions and societal values. The different counterculture movements throughout US history were: The Shakers, Hamilton Lodge Ball, The Christian Century, The Women's National Democratic Club, The Yippies and Ecovillage at Ithaca.
A hippie was a person, especially from late 1960s and early 70s, who rejected the values and established institutions of culture that emerged after WWII ended, and went against accepted society turning to alternative lifestyles like communal living, psychedelic drugs and bright clothing styles. They embodied the counterculture of the 1960s because they rejected traditional culture by dressing casually. The males wore their hair long and everyone wore folksy or used clothing adorned with beads, headbands and often flowers. They stressed on how important love and direct personal relations were. Some tried to expand their consciousness through various psychological techniques like mediation or using mind altering drugs like marijuana or LSD. They were also against the Vietnam War and the men objected to the draft.
The hippies were way different from their predecessors from the 50s who were called Beatniks or Beats. They promoted vibrant-colored clothing, folk music, long hair, peace signs and participated in politics. They tended to set up living quarters in bigger cities, which came to be known as hippie villages or districts. Some locations were Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, Old Town in Chicago and Greenwich Village in New York City and became centers for hippie living. They had their own gardens, head shops, music venues, restaurants and provided cheap ways of living and alternate lifestyles. They promoted vegetarianism. They also promoted psychedelic mind-altering drugs such as peyote and LSD (acid). Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, promoted acid tests. It allowed a person to consume acid in a peaceful environment all the while being surrounded by friends, music and good vibes. Leary campaigned for the use of experimental drugs by his 'turn on, tune in and drop out' advertisements. The music hippies promoted were the folksy, psychedelic riffs of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead.
