Baby Boomers
The Baby Boomers generation predominantly participated in the counterculture movement in the 1960s and 1970s. This generation rebelled against traditional norms and values, advocating for social change and embracing alternative lifestyles.
counterculture
The Beat Generation was more accurately described as a literary and cultural movement rather than a subculture or counterculture. It was centered around a group of writers who rejected mainstream norms and explored themes of personal freedom, spirituality, and nonconformity in their work. While the Beat Generation had elements of countercultural opposition to societal norms, its primary focus was on artistic expression rather than overt political or social activism.
The hippie counterculture of the 1960s provided a platform for Baby Boomers to challenge traditional values and societal norms. Through music, art, fashion, and protests, hippies advocated for free speech, self-expression, and individualism. This movement encouraged a sense of rebellion and experimentation among the Baby Boomer generation, ultimately shaping their perspectives on personal freedom and social activism.

questioning of authority
The two main factors that initiated the decline of the 1960s counterculture were the Mason Family murders and the turmoil of the Altamont Free Concert. These two events, along with rampant drug use and civil unrest due to the Vietnam War, caused a backlash by mainstream Americans.
The 1960's counterculture was all about rebelling against authority. Extramarital sex, illegal drugs, and new types of music were part of this counterculture. The youth of the 1950's by comparison were a quiet generation. Youth of every generation rebel against parental authority, but the rebellion in the 1950's was much milder.
