What started as a youth movement in San Francisco during the early 1960s soon spread around the world. The hippie subculture began its development and the ‘hippies’ accompanied a counter-culture movement of peace, free love, and good times that left the world forever changed. Its origins may be traced to European social movements during the 19th and early 20th century such as Bohemians, and the influence of Eastern religion and spirituality.
While many of us may not believe, our grandparent’s generation was most likely a part of that amazing revolution of love. From around 1967, its fundamental ethos — including harmony with nature, communal living, artistic experimentation particularly in music, and the widespread use of recreational drugs — spread around the world during the counterculture of the 1960s, which has become closely associated with the subculture.
The following pictures clearly show that drugs, good music, and activism were something we would not have the best aspects of the modern world we live in.
