Charles Manson and his family, plus the use of Cocaine brought down the hippie movement. It hung in for awhile longer because of Woodstock, but the movement was never the same after Manson and his family committed the Tate murders. The hippies couldn't believe that someone just like them, one of their own if you will, with long hair and a love for music and peace could do such a thing. They figured if a hippie could do that, then maybe they should rethink things. They became very paranoid and for the first time the hippies (along with most of America) locked their doors at night. Before that, you could go to anybody's house and literally walk in and sit down and smoke a joint, hit acid, and be friends with a total stranger. That's just the way it was at the Canyon (Laurel Canyon) where the hippie movement truly began. Manson brought a chilling reality that evil can be in your neighborhood, regardless of your goals for a peaceful world.
Cocaine use helped deaden the hippie movement as well. People began building walls (Both psychologically and literally) around themselves and their homes, and began using, which destroyed many lives...and is still doing that to this day.
