There's a lot of confusion between the 1960s and 1970s. The 60s and 70s are two totally different decades. Hippies are for the mid 1960s through the early 1970s and disco is for the mid 1970s through early 1980s. For example, bell bottom pants were popular from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, same with platform shoes. In the mid 1960s through early 1970s, mod clothes were fashionable. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, straight-legged pants and low-soled shoes came back into style due to the punk culture. Besides, the peace symbol, the peace gesture, and the word "Groovy" was used no later than 1972.

Yes. Converse was founded in 1908.
The Hippie Movement started in San Francisco, California and spread across most of the US during the late 60s and early 70s. Unlike the Beatniks, there were no real leaders of the Hippie Movement. The Beatniks were basically an intellectual movement that rejected the norms of society. The Hippies simply preferred an alternate lifestyle from the mainstream and had radical beliefs dealing with love, drug usage, war, and lifestyle. Most were not political except in opposing actions of the government they dissagreed with. Hippies came from all different backgrounds but all were young and most came from wealthy families. Some rejected their parent’s lifestyle while others were simply outcasts of society and could only fit in with the Hippie population. Timothy Leary became the spokesman for the Hippies concerning drug usage. He favored the use of LSD and his famous admonition to the youth of America was “tune in, turn on, and drop out.” Bob Dylan became the major symbol and spokesman of Hippie culture as well as other singers, like Janis Joplin.
