The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. The etymology of the term 'hippie' is from hipster, and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Villageand San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district.
"Hippies" inherited the countercultural values of the Beat Generation, created their own communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.

Counter Culture is a bad bad disaster of the 1200's it is based on Marilyn Monroe.
The Hippie movement began as opposition to US involvement in the Viet nam war, but they were non political, that cause was taken up by the Yippies. The Hippie movement sought to bring tolerance and openness to our culture, to expand religious belief and remove negative stereotypes from sex and marriage, as well as music and the use of recreational drugs. They felt alienated from the middle class which they thought was dominated by materialism and repression.
Did, they're both gone now...that group came towards the end of the hippie movement.
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. - Keith Kidd
