'''Hippie''' is a term used for members of the [[Counterculture|counter-culture]] of the 1960's who opted to "drop out (of school and the career [[rat race]]), turn on (by taking [[psychedelic]] [[drug]]s) and tune in (to an alternative way of looking at the [[universe]])", rejecting the [[materialism|materialistic]] values of the society around them. The non-violent movement was largely in response to the the [[Vietnam War]], and used the slogan "peace and love."  Hippie [[culture]] also became associated with [[rock music|rock and roll]], recreational [[drug]] use, [[free love]], as reflected by the slogan "sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll." Hippies wore their hair long. "[[Jesus Freak]]s" were hippies who were born-again [[Christian]]s and followed Christ's commandments regarding the importance of [[love]], and eschewing the use of drugs. Many hippies experimented with alternative living arrangements such as [[commune]]s, where all work and all possessions were shared. In the movie ''[[Easy Rider]]'' the protagonists visit a hippie commune in [[California]]. [[Tom Wolfe]]'s account of [[Ken Kesey]]'s [[Merry Pranksters]] in his book "[[The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test]]" documented one aspect of the hippie scene.
