The counter-culture was a social movement including young people who were opposed to values of traditional culture. The participants of this movement were called "hippies" and they felt free about using drugs, creating new trends and music.

Who were the members of the counterculture movement?

The most famous group participating in the counterculture was the hippies; however, most of those who were considered to be part of the counterculture were not as radical. They included anyone who opposed the Vietnam War and anyway who opposed the norms and conformity of society (ex: mass media, popular culture). The counterculture is associated with drug use, the sexual revolution and an exploration of the spiritual side of life.
