This is an era of anti-war protest, free love, meditation, naked hippie chicks, and medicine changing hearts. In major cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, there were intense opinion exchanges, fierce protests against the Vietnam War, and a moment of love and peace and equality. A group of people who share similar ambitions from around the world are voluntary and can not be stopped.

Hippie culture was originally started in the United States in the mid-1960s and was a youth movement that rapidly spread to other countries around the world. Hippie culture is still obvious in 2011. The origin of the word "hippie" originated from fashion and was originally used to represent people who moved to Greenwich Village, New York City, Ashbury, San Francisco, and similar urban areas. The words "hip" and "hepp" come from black culture and express consciousness. Early hippie ideology contained the anti-cultural values ​​of the generation. Some people set up their social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock, accepted the sexual revolution, and explored other consciousness states with drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy, magic mushroom .

This wave of new ideas and ideas about the United States is a new subculture known as hippie. Hippie started mainly in San Francisco's Hait Ashbury district and New York's eastern village. Hippie turns more attention to the cultural value of life rather than political problems, even if this is an important part of their slogan 'do not war, make love'. Anti-war of Hippy promoted peace and love, it became an answer to everything. Hippy culture certainly attracted a lot of public attention, and frequently appears in the mass media. The biggest problem for society at Hippy is protest action, conference, seminar at the street.

There are many objections to the Vietnam War. For this reason, hippies began to appear. Hippie 's subculture has a great influence, so there are many groups and communities that share the slogan. Ippy is an exercise to imitate political parties. They continued to draw public attention when they took over Grand Central Station in New York. This caused 61 people to be arrested. Because they are not as big as subculture, this group is a hippy branch, but they got protests of their ideas and anti-war from Hippie. Another group of people from Hippy culture is a new Hippie. Some of them are the original hippie kids and grandchildren, currently insisting on many of the same beliefs about their ancestors. However, there is a slight difference between Hippie and the new Hippie. The original hippies found the medicine as an outlet, and it was very popular in subculture.
