The Vietnam War was what really started the hippie movement in the 60's and 70's. People were tired of being in a war that couldn't be won, and many, mostly young students on campuses, started to protest against the war. One example is Woodstock, in 1969, or the protests against Nixon's secret bombing of Cambodia at Kent and Jackson State Universities. "Hippies" are most known for their "Make love, not war" philosophy. The counterculture was also a mix of sexual revolution and drug experimenting, like LSD.

Why was Woodstock 1969 a counterculture event?

It was a major counterculture event, because the festival's promoters (Artie Kornfield & Michael Lang) expected roughly a few thousand people. Instead, 500,000 people showed up for not 3, but 4 days of "peace, love, and music". The festival was extended for 4 days, because of a couple hours worth of rain after Joe Cocker's performance.
