Hello everyboy!
Today Ill tell you more about a cultural and musical movement: The hippie movement.
The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in theUnited Stated during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world.Some created their own social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock.
In January 1967,the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco popularized hippie culture, leading to the legendary Summer of Love on the West Coast of the United Stated , and the 1969 Woodstock Festival on the East Coast.
Hippie fashions and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts. Since the widespread movement in the 1960s, many aspects of hippie culture have been assimilated by mainstream society. The religious and cultural diversity espoused by the hippies has gained widespread acceptance, and Eastern Philosophy and spiritual concepts have reached a wide audience. The hippie legacy can be observed in contemporary culture in enormous variety of forms.
