Hippie culture

Hippie culture, emerging in the 1960s, was characterized by a rejection of mainstream values, advocating for peace, love, and freedom. It emphasized alternative lifestyles, environmental awareness, creative expression, and social justice. Influenced by the counterculture movement, hippies promoted communal living, experimented with new spiritual practices, and opposed war and consumerism. Their distinctive styles included colorful clothing, long hair, and psychedelic art. While many sought personal enlightenment and societal change, the movement also sparked debates about individuality and societal norms, leaving a lasting impact on music, fashion, and cultural attitudes toward peace and environmentalism.
