THE 60´S

COUNTERCULTURE AND HIPPIEMOVEMENT

In the mid-1960s, a never-seen before hippie counter-culture appeared throughout the United States, inciting both the Flower Power movement as well as the general revolution of more straight-laced Americans.

THE STARTING OF THE HIPPIES

The hippies started calling themselves that because they didn't want to keep up with the Joneses or meet the sexual norms

The term ' hippie ' was used to describe the children on the road who believed they should make love, not war.

Putting on psychedelic flower clothes and growing beards became part of the evolution of the counterculture. But the hippies were not just about the experimentation and the flares of the trousers. The concept of floral power also emerged as a passive resistance to the Vietnam war during the late 1960s.

THE COUNTERCULTURE

The counterculture that developed during the decade of 1960 was a lifestyle chosen by those who would become known as hippies. The members of the counterculture held ideas similar to those of the new leftist movement. The hippies were dissatisfied with the culture of consensus that had developed after the Second World War and wanted to distance themselves from American society.

BOB DYLAN

He is a musician, songwriter, singer and American poet, considered as one of the most important figures in the popular music of the twentieth century.

He has composed songs like: "Blowing in the wind" and "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall".
