Counterculture Movement

The Counterculture Movement was a social rebellion in the 1960s-70s, primarily among young people, against mainstream values, government policies, and traditional norms. It embraced values like peace, love, individuality, and environmental awareness, often opposing war (like Vietnam), consumerism, and racial injustice. This movement fostered new ideas about music, fashion, and lifestyles, leading to influential cultural shifts. It was characterized by protests, artistic expression, and a desire for social change, challenging established authority and promoting freedom and equality.
