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]]".
