Changes

Hippies were noted for their [[liberal]] stance, including psychedelic [[music]], sexual freedom, [[drug]] use (particularly [[LSD]] and [[Marijuana]]), and rejecting what they saw as the [[materialism|materialistic]] values of the society around them. The non-violent movement was largely in response to the [[Vietnam War]] and used the slogan "[[peace]] and [[love]]" and "make love not [[war]]".

Many of the elements of hippie counterculture, such as an anti-corporate ideology and the [[anarchy|anarchic]], experimental, [[libertarian|libertarian]] strands, have stayed with hippies as they grew up. Many aspects of alternative lifestyles that were shocking in the 1960s have now become somewhat acceptable in [[liberal society]] and amongst those influenced by [[San Francisco values]], [[Hollywood values]], and [[Professor values]] such as recreational use of drugs and a loose attitude towards sex. <ref> http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1612717,00.html </ref>
