Hi everybody,

During several days I am gonna speak of the hippie movement and try to understand every aspect of it.
The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the mid-1960s and spread around the world. The word hippie derives from hipster, and was initially used to describe people who created their own communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as cannabis and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.
On January 1967, the Human Be-In at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco popularized hippie culture, leading to the legendary Summer of Love on the West Coast of the United States, and the 1969 Woodstock Festival on the East Coast. In Mexico, the jipitecas formed La Onda Chicana and gathered at Avándaro, while in New Zealand, nomadic housetruckers practiced alternative lifestyles and promoted sustainable energy at Nambassa. In the United Kingdom, mobile “peace convoys” of New age travellers made summer pilgrimages to free music festivals at Stonehenge. In Australia hippies gathered at Nimbin for the 1973 Aquarius Festival and the annual Cannabis Law Reform Rally or MardiGrass. In Chile, “Festival Piedra Roja” was held in 1970 (following Woodstock’s success), and was the major hippie event in that country.
Hippie fashions and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts. Since the 1960s, many aspects of hippie culture have been assimilated by mainstream society. The religious and cultural diversity espoused by the hippies has gained widespread acceptance, and Eastern philosophy and spiritual concepts have reached a wide audience. The hippie legacy can be observed in contemporary culture in myriad forms — from health food, to music festivals, to contemporary sexual mores, and even to the cyberspace revolution.

 
 
Le terme hippie (hippy au Royaume-Uni), dont baba cool est, plus tard, devenu un synonyme, désigne les femmes et les hommes qui, entre les années 1965 et 1975, ont globalement rejeté le mode de vie traditionnel de leurs parents.
Par extension, le terme est également utilisé pour qualifier un mouvement de contre-culture qui caractérise cette décennie et s’est poursuivi plus tard. Touchant la majorité de la génération nombreuse née du baby-boom de l’après-guerre, ce mouvement eut un impact d’autant plus grand sur des sociétés occidentales auparavant vieillissantes.
Les hippies se distinguaient du reste de la population, qu’ils appelaient les « straight » (que l’on pourrait traduire par « politiquement correct » aujourd’hui), par leurs tenues vestimentaires, leurs chevelures et une ostentatoire liberté dans les relations amoureuses.
