| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. The etymology of the term 'hippie' is from hipster, and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The early hippie ideology included the countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Some created their own social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness. This book studies hippies including Human Be-In, The Farm, Nambassa, counterculture, bohemianism, and make love, not war.
