| 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. 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 myriad forms - from health food, to music festivals, to contemporary sexual mores, and even to the cyberspace revolution. This book studies hippies culture, fashion, and music including peace symbols, intentional community, music festival, progressive rock, and New Age rock.
