'''Hippie''' is a term used for members of a subculture that originated in the late 1960s, notable for psychedelic [[music]], sexual freedom, [[drug]] use, 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 the [[Vietnam War]] and used the slogan "peace and love".

The '''Hippie''' subculture originated in the late 1960s, in rebellion to "all repressive hierarchical power structures since these are adverse to the hippie goals of peace, love and freedom." [http://www.hippy.com/hippyway.htm]

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 cultures that were shocking in the 1960s have now become acceptable in mainstream society, such as "recreational" use of psychedelic drugs. <ref> http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1612717,00.html </ref>
