    The hippie movement began in the late 1950s as a youth counterculture that rejected mainstream institutions and middle class values. Hippies embraced anti-war and anti-nuclear weapons stances as well as Eastern philosophy and psychedelic drugs. By the late 1960s, hippie fashion and ideals had influenced popular culture but the movement declined in the 1970s as the Vietnam War ended. However, elements of hippie culture like clothing styles, music, and anti-establishment attitudes continue to influence American society today.

    PART 01
    Beginning
    Origins
    The hippie movement in the United States began as
    a youth movement. Composed mostly of white
    in the late 1950s teenagers and young adults between 15 and 25 years
    old, hippies inherited a tradition of cultural dissent from
    bohemians and beatniks （避世派；垮掉的一代） of
    the Beat Generation.

    Hippies had become an established social group in the U.S.,


    and the movement eventually expanded to other countries. The
    1965 hippie ethos influenced The Beatles and other parts of Europe, and
    they in turn influenced their American counterparts.
    Along with the New Left and the Civil Rights Movement, the
    hippie movement was one of three dissenting groups of the 1960s
    counterculture.
    Origins

    rejected established institutions ；


    criticized middle class values ；
    opposed nuclear weapons and the Vietnam War ；
    embraced aspects of Eastern philosophy ；
    championed sexual liberation ；
    promoted the use of psychedelic drugs( 迷幻剂 ).
    All You Need Is Love
    There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
    Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
    Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
    It's easy.
    Nothing you can make that can't be made.
    No one you can save that can't be saved.
    Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
    It's easy.
    All you need is love.
    Love is all you need.
    Nothing you can know that isn't known.
    Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
    Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
    It's easy.
    Origins
    By 1968, hippie-influenced fashions were
    1967–1969 beginning to take off in the mainstream, especially
    Revolution for youths and younger adults of the populous
    "Baby Boomer" generation, many of whom may
    have aspired to emulate the hardcore movements
    now living in tribalistic communes, but had no
    overt connections to them.

    1970–present During the mid 1970s, with the end of the draft
    Aftershocks and the Vietnam War, a renewal of patriotic
    sentiment associated with the emergence of punk
    in London, Manchester, New York and Los
    Angeles, the mainstream media lost interest in
    the hippie counterculture.
    PART 02
    Characteristics
    Slogan ： Do Your Own Things
    Forming condition

    Just because they are the people who


    have really experienced the mainstream
    culture, they are most likely to see its
    disadvantages and criticize it.

    be a reliable signal of who he o
    r she was.

    "dress like hippies"

    members of the counterculture.

    hippies were happy to put a few
    clothes in a backpack, stick out
    their thumbs and hitchhike
    anywhere.
    Spirituality and religion

    The Ending
    Failure

    • The defects of hippy culture


    itself
    • The inclusive absorption of
    mainstream culture

    That DOES NOT mean
    the hippy culture has died out.
    As a large-scale cultural rebellion, the Hippie Movement not
    only attracted enormous attention at time it occurred, but also
    managed to produce a long and lasting impact on American
    political, social and cultural life. Even till today, it is still
    wandering like a specter across the country.
    Hippie Costume
    Hippie clothes are still very popular.
    Hippie Music
    If you’re going to San Francisco,
    be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
    Now a hippy generally refers to a person who opposes
    and rejects many of the conventional standards and customs
    of society, especially one who advocates, often having long
    hair, wearing brightly-colored clothes, taking illegal drugs,
    and rejecting middle-class materialism.
    Conclusion
    As an important element of American culture, the spirit of
    the hippies still affects American people today.
