1. The Hippie Movement Javier CagigasViota

2. Hippie Movement It was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. This new subculture inherited some countercultural values ​​from the Beat Generation and, to a lesser extent, German Naturism. An important base was the city of San Francisco, California. Actually, the first hippies were studying in the university of San Francisco

3. Hippie Movement Another key influence was the American folk music movement which had a strong base in Greenwich Village in New York and Berkeley in California A. Chandler Laughlin III was the founder of a folk music concert bar called Red Dog Saloon. In the summer of 1965, Laughlin recruited much of the talent that led to California's unique blend of traditional folk music and rock, and started a tour.

7. Hippie look The male hippie icon was usually a man with hair and a beard much longer than what was considered "elegant" at the time. Both sexes tended to wear long hair and some hippies wore Afro style, imitating blacks. Among women there was a tendency not to wear a bra and not to shave their armpits or legs.

10. Woodstock Woodstock (Woodstock. 3 Days of Peace & Music) is one of the best-known rock festivals and most famous Hippie congregations ever. It took place on a farm in Bethel, New York, on 15, 16, 17 and the morning of August 18, 1969. Few crimes were committed during the festival, in contrast to the claims that the festival was intended as a celebration of peace and love.

12. Decline of the hippie movement The media fuss about the events of Altamont and the Charles Manson´s case discredited hippies Parts of the hippie look, such as the long hair or flared trousers, became mere fashion followed by many young people around the United States. Around 1980, the hippie look became just a fashion style.
