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 "acceptable" in [[Liberal]] society and amongst those influenced by [[Hollywood values]], such as "recreational" use of psychedelic drugs. <ref> http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1612717,00.html </ref>
