Thehippiesubculture(also known as the flower people) began its development as ayouth movementin the United States during the early 1960s and then developed around the world.

Its origins may be traced to European social movements in the 19th and early 20th century such asBohemians,with influence fromEastern religionand spirituality. It is directly influenced and inspired by theBeat Generation,and American involvement in theVietnam War.[1]From around 1967, its fundamental ethos — including harmony with nature, communal living, artistic experimentation particularly in music, sexual experimentation, and the widespread use of recreational drugs — spread around the world during thecounterculture of the 1960s,which has become closely associated with the subculture.

Classical culture

[edit]

The hippie movement has found historical precedents as far back as theMazdakistmovement inPersia,whose leader the Persian reformer Mazdak, advocated communal living, the sharing of resources,vegetarianism,andfree love.[2]A 1967 article inTimemagazine asserted that the hippie movement has a historical precedent in the counterculture of theAncient Greeks,espoused by philosophers likeDiogenes of Sinopeand theCynics.[3]The article also claimed that the hippies were influenced by the ideals ofJesus Christ,Hillel the Elder,Buddha,St. Francis of Assisi,Henry David Thoreau,Gandhi,and others.[3]Nathan Adlerbelieved the hippies were heirs of early spiritual movements such as theWaldensians.[4]Some[who?]have pointed

to the short-lived Merrymount colony in 1625 (allegorically portrayed byNathaniel Hawthornein "The Maypole of Merry Mount) "as the first hippie experience on the American continent.

19th- and early 20th-century Europe

[edit]
Main article:Lebensreform

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the GermanLebensreformmovement emphasized the goodness of nature; the harms to society, people, and nature caused by industrialization; the importance of the whole person, body and mind; and the goodness of "the old ways".[5][6][7]: 32–33 [8]The German youth movement known asDer Wandervogelgrew out ofLebensreformas a countercultural reaction to the organized social and cultural clubs that centered on German folk music. In contrast to these formal clubs, Wandervogel emphasized amateur music and singing, creative dress, and communal outings involving hiking and camping.[9]Inspired by the works ofFriedrich Nietzsche,Goethe,Hermann Hesse,and Eduard Baltzer, Wandervogel attracted thousands of young Germans who rejected the rapid trend toward urbanization and yearned for the pagan, back-to-nature spiritual life of their ancestors.[10]

Nature Boys of Southern California

[edit]

During the first several decades of the 20th century, these beliefs were introduced to the United States asGermans settled around the country,some opening the firsthealth food stores.(For example,Santa Barbara's first health food store was opened in 1934 byHermann Sexauer,who was born inTeningen,Germany on 4 March 1883 and died in December 1971; he left Germany in 1906, arrived in New York, ended up in California and lived apacifist,raw vegan,non-conformist lifestyle.)[11]Many moved to Southern California, where they could practice an alternative lifestyle in a warm climate. In turn, young Americans adopted the beliefs and practices of the new immigrants. One group, called the Nature Boys, who includedWilliam Pester,took to the California desert, raised organic food, and espoused a back-to-nature lifestyle.eden ahbez,a member of this group, wrote a hit song, "Nature Boy' ", which was recorded in 1947 byNat King Cole,popularizing the homegrown back-to-nature movement to mainstream America. Eventually, a few of these Nature Boys, including the famousGypsy Boots,made their way to Northern California in 1967, just in time for theSummer of Lovein San Francisco.[12]

Beat Generation

[edit]
Further information:San Francisco Renaissance

TheBeat Generation,especially those associated with theSan Francisco Renaissance,gradually gave way to the1960s era counterculture,accompanied by a shift in terminology from "beatnik" to "freak"and" hippie ". Many of the original Beats remained active participants, notablyAllen Ginsberg,who became a fixture of theanti-war movement.On the other hand,Jack Kerouacbroke with Ginsberg and criticized the 1960s protest movements as an "excuse for spitefulness".Bob Dylanbecame close friends with Allen Ginsberg, and Ginsberg became close friends withTimothy Leary.Both Leary and Ginsberg were introduced toLSDbyMichael Hollingsheadin the early 1960s, and both became instrumental in popularizing psychedelic substances to the hippie movement.

In 1963, Ginsberg was living in San Francisco withNeal CassadyandCharles Plymell.[13]Around that time, Ginsberg connected withKen Kesey,who was participating inCIAsponsoredLSD trials,at theMenlo ParkVeterans' Hospital[14]where he worked as a night aide[15][16][17]while a student atStanford.[18]Cassady drove the bus for Ken Kesey'sMerry Pranksters,and he attempted to recruit Kerouac into their group, but Kerouac angrily rejected the invitation and accused them of attempting to destroy the American culture he celebrated.[citation needed]

According toEd Sanders,the change in the public label from "beatnik" to "hippie" occurred after the 1967Human Be-Inin San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, where Ginsberg,Gary Snyder,andMichael McClureled the crowd in chanting "Om".Ginsberg was also at the infamous1968 Democratic National Convention,and was friends withAbbie Hoffmanand other members of theChicago Seven.Stylistic differences between beatniks, marked by somber colors, dark shades and goatees, gave way to colorful psychedelic clothing and long hair worn by hippies. While the beats were known for "playing it cool" and keeping a low profile, hippies became known for displaying their individuality.

One early book hailed as evidencing the transition from "beatnik" to "hippie" culture wasBeen Down So Long It Looks Like Up to MebyRichard Fariña,brother-in-law ofJoan Baez.Written in 1963, it was published April 28, 1966, two days before its author was killed in a motorcycle crash.

1960 to 1966

[edit]

Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters

[edit]

TheMerry Pranksterswere a group who originally formed around AmericannovelistKen Kesey,considered one of the most prominent figures in the psychedelic movement, and sometimes lived communally at his homes in California and Oregon. Notable members include Kesey's best friendKen Babbs,Neal Cassady,Mountain Girl(born Carolyn Adams but best known as Mrs. Jerry Garcia),Wavy Gravy,Paul Krassner,Stewart Brand,Del Close,Paul Foster,George Walker, and others. Their early escapades were chronicled byTom WolfeinThe Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters are remembered chiefly for the sociological significance of a lengthy roadtrip they took in 1964, traveling across theUnited Statesin apsychedelicallypainted schoolbusEnigma tically labeledFurther,and for the "Acid Tests". Kesey believed that psychedelics were best used as a tool for transforming society as a whole, and believed that if a sufficient percentage of the population had the psychedelic experience then revolutionary social and political changes would occur. Therefore, they made LSD available to anyone interested in partaking - most famously through the "electric kool-aid" made available at a series of "Acid Tests"; musical and multi-media events where participants were given "acid", the street name for LSD. The tests were held at various venues in California, and were sometimes advertised with colorful crayoned signs asking "Can you pass the acid test?" The first Acid Test was held inPalo Alto, Californiain November 1965. (LSD was legal in the United States until October 6, 1966.) The youngpsychedelic musicband theGrateful Deadsupplied the music during these events.

Red Dog Experience

[edit]
Main article:Red Dog Experience

The Red Dog Saloonwas a bar and music venue located in the isolated, old-time mining town ofVirginia City, Nevada.In April 1963, Chandler A. Laughlin III established a kind of tribal, family identity among approximately 50 people who attended a traditional, all-nightpeyoteceremony which combined a psychedelic experience with traditionalNative Americanspiritual values.[19]

During the summer of 1965, Laughlin recruited much of the original talent that led to a unique amalgam of traditional folk music and the developing psychedelic rock scene.[19]He and his cohorts created what became known as The Red Dog Experience, featuring previously unknown musical acts -Big Brother and the Holding Company,Jefferson Airplane,Quicksilver Messenger Service,The Charlatans,Grateful Deadand others. There was no clear delineation between "performers" and "audience" and the music, psychedelic experimentation, unique sense of personal style, and Bill Ham's first primitive light shows combined to create a new sense of community.[20]

Anti-war protests

[edit]
Main article:Opposition to the Vietnam War

Although there were many diverse groups and elements protesting the US military involvement in Vietnam as it began to escalate, many of the protesters, rightly or wrongly, came to be associated with aspects of the "hippie" movement in the popular view. A number of them had been highly active in theCivil Rights Movementin the first half of the 1960s, traveling across the country to take part in sit-ins and marches againstsegregationin the South. The firstdraft card burningstook place May 12, 1964, in New York City. Others followed, including more draft-card burnings in May 1965 at theUniversity of California, Berkeley(which had already seen a precedent to the subsequent social turmoil, in form of theFree Speech Movement), and a coffin was marched to the Berkeley draft board. As similar protests continued through the summer, PresidentLyndon Johnsonresponded by signing a new law on August 31, 1965, penalizing the burning of draft cards with up to 5 years in prison and a $1,000 fine, although such burnings went on regardless. In later years, theViet Congflag of the "enemy" was even adopted as a symbol by more radical anti-war protesters.

Generation

[edit]

The new "hippie" values, e.g.natural childbirth,made an early Broadway appearance October 6, 1965, with the opening of a popular new play,Generationby US playwright William Goodhart, starringHenry Fonda(as Jim Bolton), which, according to one of its reviews inTime,[21]"converts aGreenwich Villageloft into a sparring ground forthe Establishmentand the hippie, the parent and the child. "Owing to the success of this play, it was made into the 1969 filmGeneration(also released under the titleA Time for Giving and A Time for Caring) withDavid Janssenin the role of Jim Bolton (also featuringKim Darby,Carl Reiner,James CocoandSam Waterston).

Underground press

[edit]

Another signal of the rising movement was the sudden appearance of anunderground hippie pressin several U.S. cities. Among the first of these was theLos Angeles Free Press,which began in May 1964 as a broadside entitledThe Faire Free Press.[22]This was soon followed by theBerkeley Barbin August 1965,[23]theEast Village Otherof New York, in October 1965,[24]The Fifth Estate,in Detroit in November 1965,[25]andEast Lansing'sThe Paperin December 1965.[26]By 1966 theUnderground Press Syndicatehad been organized;[27]80 presses of U.S. and Canada came to a conference sponsored byMiddle Earthin Iowa City.Liberation News Service— located in Washington, D.C., then New York, then split between New York and a commune in rural Massachusetts — served up alternative stories to the underground press world.[28]

A Tribute to Dr. Strange

When they returned to San Francisco at the end of Summer 1965, Red Dog participants Luria Castell, Ellen Harman and Alton Kelley created a collective called "The Family Dog".[19]Modeled on their Red Dog experiences, on October 16, 1965, The Family Dog hosted "A Tribute toDr. Strange"at Longshoreman's Hall.[29][30]Attended by approximately 1,000 of the Bay Area's original "hippies", this was San Francisco's firstpsychedelic rockperformance, a costumed dance and light show featuringJefferson Airplane,The Great Society,and The Marbles. Two other events followed before year's end, one at California Hall and one at the Matrix.[19]

Trips Festival

A much larger psychedelic event, "TheTrips Festival",took place on January 21–23, 1966, at Longshoreman's Hall, organized byStewart Brand,Ken Kesey,Owsley Stanley,Zach Stewart and others. Ten thousand people attended this sold-out event, with a thousand more turned away each night.[31]On Saturday January 22, theGrateful DeadandBig Brother and the Holding Companycame on stage, and 6,000 people arrived to imbibe punch spiked with LSD and to witness one of the first fully developed light shows of the era.[32]

Fillmore Auditorium and Avalon Ballroom

By February 1966, the Family Dog becameFamily Dog Productionsunder organizerChet Helms,promoting happenings at theAvalon Ballroomand theFillmore Auditoriumin initial cooperation withBill Graham.These and other venues provided settings where participants could partake in the full psychedelic music experience. Bill Ham perfected his liquid light projection shows which, combined with film projection, and became synonymous with the San Francisco ballroom experience.[19][20][33]

When San Francisco's Fox Theater went out of business, hippies bought up its costume stock, reveling in the freedom to dress up for weekly musical performances at their favorite ballrooms. AsSan Francisco Chroniclemusic columnistRalph J. Gleasonput it, "They danced all night long, orgiastic, spontaneous and completely free form."[19]

Haight-Ashbury

[edit]
Main article:Haight-Ashbury
See also:History of San Francisco, California

Some of the early San Francisco hippies were former students atSan Francisco State College(later renamed San Francisco State University) who were intrigued by the developing psychedelic hippie music scene and left school after they started taking psychedelic drugs.[19]These students joined the bands they loved and began living communally in the large, inexpensiveVictorianapartments in the Haight.[34]Young Americans around the country began moving to San Francisco, and by June 1966, around 15,000 hippies had moved into the Haight.[35]The Charlatans,Jefferson Airplane,Big Brother and the Holding Company,and theGrateful Deadall moved to San Francisco'sHaight-Ashburyneighborhood during this period.

Love Pageant Rally

Main article:Love Pageant Rally

On October 6, 1966, the state of California made LSD a controlled substance, making the drug illegal.[36]In response to the criminalization of psychedelics, San Francisco hippies staged a gathering in theGolden Gate Park panhandle,called "The Love Pageant Rally",[36]attracting an estimated 700-800 people.[37]As explained by Allan Cohen, co-founder of theSan Francisco Oracle,the purpose of the rally was twofold — to draw attention to the fact that LSD had just been made illegal, and to demonstrate that people who used LSD were not criminals, nor were they mentally ill. According to Cohen, those who took LSD were mostly idealistic people who wanted to learn more about themselves and their place in the universe, and they used LSD as an aid to meditation and to creative, artistic expression.[citation needed]The Grateful Dead played, and some sources claim that LSD was consumed at the rally.[38]

Mantra-Rock Dance

Main article:Mantra-Rock Dance

One frequently encountered theme was Asian spirituality, and Zen, dharma, "nirvana", karma and yoga were "buzzwords" of the counterculture. For most this infatuation with Asia was somewhat superficial, limited to their wearing colourful and inexpensive clothing from India and burning Indian made incense. One more substantive event in this connection was The Mantra-Rock Dance, January 29, 1967. An audience of nearly 3,000 gathered at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, filling the hall to its capacity for a fundraising effort for the firstHare Krishnacenter on the West Coast of the United States. The Mantra-Rock Dance featured some of the most prominent Californian rock groups of the time, such as the Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company. The bands performed for free and countercultural leaders boosted the event's popularity; among them were LSD promoters Timothy Leary and Augustus Owsley Stanley III. Poet Allen Ginsberg led the singing of the Hare Krishna mantra onstage along with the founder acarya of the Krishna Consciousness movement,A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.Strobe lights and a psychedelic liquid light show along with pictures of Krishna and the words of the Hare Krishna mantra were projected onto the walls of the venue. Later Ginsberg called the Mantra-Rock Dance "the height of Haight-Ashbury spiritual enthusiasm..."

Diggers

Main article:Diggers (theater)

It is nothing new. We have a private revolution going on. A revolution of individuality and diversity that can only be private. Upon becoming a group movement, such a revolution ends up with imitators rather than participants... It is essentially a striving forrealizationof one'srelationshipto life and other people...

— Bob Stubbs, "Unicorn Philosophy"[39]

Hippie action in the Haight centered on the Diggers, a guerrilla streettheatregroup that combined spontaneous street theatre, anarchistic action, andart happeningsin their agenda to create a "free city". By late 1966, the Diggers openedstores which simply gave away their stock;provided free food, medical care, transport and temporary housing; they also organized free music concerts and works of political art.[citation needed]The Diggers criticized the term 'hippie' with their October 1967, 'Death of Hippie' event.[40]

Celebrating both that and the end of theSummer of Lovethe Death of Hippie event was intended to signal to the rest of the country thatit was over in San Francisco and that people needed to bring the revolution to their own locales from now on.

In late September 1967, many of the shops in the district began to display a stack of 4x5 cards on their counters proclaiming "Funeral Notice for Hippie". "Friends are invited to attend services beginning at sunrise, October 6, 1967, at Buena Vista Park". An organization known as theHaight Ashbury Switchboardactively supported the Digger's funeral concept. A funeral procession went from the park down Haight St and ended in the Panhandle with supporters carrying a trinket filled casket. It was emblematic of the fate of the hippie movement in San Francisco.

By mid-1968, it was widely noted that most of the original "Flower Children" had long since departed the Haight Ashbury district, having gone on to agrarian/back to the earth movements, returned to their studies or embarking on their careers. These were subsequently replaced by a more cynical and exploitative crowd.[41]

Los Angeles

[edit]

Los Angeles also had a vibrant hippie scene during the mid-1960s. TheVenicecoffeehouses and beat culture sustained the hippies, giving birth to bands likeThe Doors.West Hollywoodbecame the quintessential L.A. hippie gathering area, particularly on theSunset Stripwhere theWhisky a Go Gowas located, andThe Troubadouron Santa Monica Boulevard. The Strip was the location of the protest described inBuffalo Springfield's early 1967 hippie anthem, "For What It's Worth"byStephen Stills.One of the first "Love Ins" took place in Elysian Park and spread from there. Many hippies lived in that portion of Los Angeles known as East Hollywood as well as Laurel Canyon.

Millbrook

[edit]

Before the Summer of Love,Timothy LearyandRichard Alpertformed the International Foundation for Internal Freedom inNewton, Massachusetts,inhabiting two houses but later moving to a 64-room mansion atMillbrook, New York,with a communal group of about 25 to 30 people in residence until they were shut down in 1968.[42]

Drop City

[edit]
Main article:Drop City

In 1965, four art students and filmmakers, Gene Bernofsky, JoAnn Bernofsky, Richard Kallweit and Clark Richert, moved to a 7-acre (28,000 m2) tract of land near Trinidad, Colorado. Their intention was to create a live-in work of Drop Art, continuing an art concept they had developed earlier, and informed by "happenings".As Drop City gained notoriety in the 1960s underground, people from around the world came to stay and work on the construction projects. Inspired by the architectural ideas ofBuckminster FullerandSteve Baer,residents constructedgeodesic domesandzonahedrato house themselves, using geometric panels made from the metal of automobile roofs and other inexpensive materials. In 1967 the group, consisting of 10 core people and many contributors, won Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion award for their constructions.

Summer of Love

[edit]
Main article:Summer of Love

On January 14, 1967, the outdoorHuman Be-Inin San Francisco popularized hippie culture across the United States, with 30,000 hippies gathering inGolden Gate Park.TheMonterey Pop Festivalfrom June 16 to June 18 introduced the rock music of the counterculture to a wide audience and marked the start of the "Summer of Love".[43]Scott McKenzie's rendition ofJohn Phillips' song, "San Francisco",became a hit in the United States and Europe. The lyrics," If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair ", inspired thousands of young people from all over the world to travel to San Francisco, sometimes wearing flowers in their hair and distributing flowers to passersby, earning them the name,"Flower Children".

Bands like theGrateful Dead,Big Brother and the Holding Company(withJanis Joplin), andJefferson Airplanecontinued to live in the Haight, but by the end of the summer, the incessant media coverage led the Diggers to declare the "death" of the hippie with a parade. According to the late poet Stormi Chambless, the hippies buried an effigy of a hippie in thePanhandleto demonstrate the end of his/her reign. Regarding this period of history, the July 7, 1967,Timemagazine featured a cover story entitled, "The Hippies: The Philosophy of a Subculture". The article described the guidelines of the hippie code: "Do your own thing, wherever you have to do it and whenever you want. Drop out. Leave society as you have known it. Leave it utterly. Blow the mind of every straight person you can reach. Turn them on, if not to drugs, then to beauty, love, honesty, fun."[44]

It is estimated that around 100,000 people traveled to San Francisco in the summer of 1967. The media was right behind them, casting a spotlight on the Haight-Ashbury district and popularizing the "hippie" label. With this increased attention, hippies found support for their ideals of love and peace but were also criticized for their anti-work, pro-drug, and permissive ethos. Misgivings about the hippie culture, particularly with regard todrug abuseand lenient morality, fueled themoral panicsof the late 1960s.[45]

New Communalism

[edit]
See also:Back-to-the-land movement

When the Summer of Love finally ended, thousands of hippies left San Francisco, a large minority of them heading "back to the land". These hippies created the largest number ofintentional communitiesor communes in the history of the United States, forming alternative, egalitarian farms and homesteads in Northern California, Colorado, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee and other states. According to Timothy Miller, communes were organized in many different ways, some along religious, political, and even sexual orientation. Poet and writerJudson Jerome,who studied the American commune movement, estimates that by the early 1970s, about 750,000 people lived in more than ten thousand communes across the United States.[46]

The Farm
Main article:The Farm (Tennessee)

In 1967,Stephen Gaskinbegan to develop a philosophy of hippie perspectives at San Francisco State College, where he taught English, creative writing, andGeneral Semantics.Gaskin's "Monday Night Class" became a broad, open discussion group involving up to 1,500 students and other participants from the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1970, Gaskin and his wife,Ina May Gaskin,led a caravan of 60 buses, vans and trucks on a cross country speaking tour. Along the way, they checked out various places that might be suitable for settlement. When they got back to San Francisco, they decided to return toSummertown, Tennessee,where they bought 1,700 acres (688 hectares) and created an intentional community called "The Farm".The Farm became a widely respected,spiritually basedhippie community that still thrives, although it is now more a hip village of 300 than a commune of 1,200. The Farm continues in many public-service and philanthropic enterprises through the Farm Midwifery Center,Plenty International,and other sub-organizations.[47]

Strawberry Fields

The second commune on the west coast

Started by former Boston stockbroker and later probation officerGridley Wright,Strawberry Fields, named after thesongby the Beatles, occupied forty four acres of land in Decker Canyon, in the arid hills aboveMalibu, California.Nine adults and six children made up the original community, housed in two old houses and a barn. Over fifty people ended up there during its five months of existence. It was a stopping off place forTimothy Learyas well as other well known figures in the psychedelic movement. Annie and the Family were one of the original families to take up residence there; they later went on to take part in the magical mystery tour and to live in a number of other communes in Europe.[48]

1968

[edit]

By 1968, hippie-influenced fashions were beginning to take off in the mainstream, especially for youths and younger adults of the populous "Baby Boomer"generation, many of whom may have aspired to emulate the hardcore movements now living in tribalistic communes, but had no overt connections to them. This was noticed not only in terms of clothes and also longer hair for men, but also in music, film, art, and literature, and not just in the US, but around the world.Eugene McCarthy's brief presidential campaign successfully persuaded a significant minority of young adults to "get clean for Gene" by shaving their beards or wearing lower miniskirts; however the "Clean Genes" had little impact on the popular image in the media spotlight, of the hirsute hippie adorned in beads, feathers, flowers and bells.

The year 1968 also saw the development of two new, but dissimilar,genresof music that each exerted some influence on, and were influenced by, the hippie movements:Heavy metal,[49]andreggae.[50]

Yippies

[edit]
Main article:Youth International Party

The Yippies, who were seen as an offshoot of the hippie movements parodying as a political party, came to national attention during their celebration of the 1968 spring equinox, when some 3,000 of them took overGrand Central Stationin New York — eventually resulting in 61 arrests. The Yippies, especially their leadersAbbie HoffmanandJerry Rubin,became notorious for their theatrics, such as trying to levitate the Pentagon at the October 1967 war protest, and such slogans as "Rise up and abandon the creeping meatball!" Their stated intention to protest the1968 Democratic National Conventionin Chicago in August, including nominating their own candidate, "Lyndon Pigasus Pig"(an actual pig), was also widely publicized in the media at this time.[51]

By the time of the convention, city officials were prepared for the worst, with 23,000 police, National Guard, and Federal troops. Following the pig's nomination on the first day, Rubin and 6 others were arrested, but protests and music concerts were allowed to continue in Lincoln Park for two days, albeit an 11:00 PM curfew was enforced. On the convention's second night, poet Allan Ginsberg led protesters out of the park, thus avoiding confrontation, by chanting "Om".On the third night, riots erupted in response to the curfew, causing police to indiscriminately attack protesters and innocent bystanders alike, including journalists from around the world and even visiting dignitaries, throughout the streets of Chicago. The violence suffered by the journalists present, even includingMike Wallace,Dan RatherandHugh Hefner,resulted in a mainstream media that was more sympathetic to certain hippie ideals, and less so to politicians, for several years. However, this galvanized the protest movement, and the following year, the trial of Hoffman, Rubin, and others as the "Chicago Seven"(originally Eight) generated significant interest.

Resurrection City

[edit]

Beginning May 12, 1968, the newly formedPoor People's Campaign,started by the recently (April 4)assassinated Martin Luther King Jr.,organized ashantytownknown asResurrection City,composed of around 3,000 black, native, and Latino militants, along with a significant contingent of hippies and diggers, encamped on theNational Mallin Washington, DC. This culminated in the June 19 "Solidarity Day" protest which drew 55,000 protesters, after which the tent settlements' population dwindled to around 300. It was finally razed, after almost 6 weeks, on June 24, 1968, by 1,000 riot police using tear gas.

1969

[edit]

People's Park

[edit]
Main article:People's Park (Berkeley)

In April 1969, the building of People's Park in Berkeley, California received international attention. TheUniversity of California, Berkeleyhad demolished all the buildings on a 2.8-acre (11,000 m2) parcel near campus, intending to use the land to build playing fields and a parking lot. After a long delay, during which the site became a dangerous eyesore, thousands of ordinary Berkeley citizens, merchants, students, and hippies took matters into their own hands, planting trees, shrubs, flowers and grass to convert the land into a park. A major confrontation ensued on May 15, 1969, and GovernorRonald Reaganordered a two-week occupation of the city of Berkeley by theUnited States National Guard.Flower powercame into its own during this occupation as hippies engaged in acts ofcivil disobedienceto plant flowers in empty lots all over Berkeley under the slogan "Let A Thousand Parks Bloom."

Woodstock

In August 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Festival took place inBethel, New York,which for many, exemplified the best of hippie counterculture. Over 500,000 people arrived to hear the most notable musicians and bands of the era, among themRichie Havens,Joan Baez,Janis Joplin,The Grateful Dead,Creedence Clearwater Revival,Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,Santana,The Who,Jefferson Airplane,andJimi Hendrix.Wavy Gravy'sHog Farmprovided security and attended to practical needs, and the hippie ideals of love and human fellowship seemed to have gained real-world expression.

Altamont

[edit]
Main article:Altamont Music Festival

In December 1969, a similar event took place inAltamont, California,about 30 miles (45 km) east of San Francisco. Initially billed as "Woodstock West", its official name was The Altamont Free Concert. About 300,000 people gathered to hearThe Rolling Stones;Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young;Jefferson Airplaneand other bands. TheHells Angelsprovided security that proved far less beneficent than the security provided at the Woodstock event: 18-year-oldMeredith Hunterwas stabbed and killed while drawing a gun in front of the stage during The Rolling Stones performance, and four accidental deaths occurred. There were also four births at the concert.

1970 to present

[edit]

By 1970, the 1960szeitgeistthat had spawned hippie culture seemed to be on the wane,[52][53]at least in the US. The events at Altamont shocked many Americans, including those who had strongly identified with hippie culture. Another shock came in the form of theSharon TateandLeno and Rosemary LaBiancamurders committed in August 1969 byCharles Mansonand his "family" of followers.

Nevertheless, the oppressive political atmosphere that featured the bombing ofCambodiaand shootings byNational GuardsmenatJackson State UniversityandKent State Universitystill brought people together. These shootings inspired the May 1970 songs byQuicksilver Messenger Service"What About Me?", where they sang "You keep adding to my numbers as you shoot my people down" andCrosby, Stills, Nash and Young's protest song "Ohio".

Meanwhile, in England, theIsle of Wight Festival 1970(August) drew an even bigger attendance than Woodstock, and was a major gathering of the hippie movement (as well as one of the last major concert appearances for a few prominent musicians of the time, such asJimi Hendrix).

Also in 1970, coverage of theChicago Seventrials provided the mainstream media an opportunity to highlight the most radical aspects of the movement. Yippie leaderJerry Rubin's guest appearance on thePhil Donahue Showin that year (April 1) represents the virtual apex of such publicity — surpassed only by his appearance November 7 that same year onTheDavid FrostShow,where he lit a joint and tried to pass it to Frost, then summoned an army of expletive-using hippies planted in the audience to swarm the stage, all on live television.

There was also a hippie commune founded in 1970, known asTawapa.[54]It was located nearPlacitas, New Mexico.However, it stopped existing in the 1990s due to the people not having legal rights to the land.[55]

Charles Manson

[edit]
Main article:Charles Manson

Charles Manson was a lifelong criminal who had been released from prison just in time for San Francisco's Summer of Love. With his long hair,charismaand the ability to charm a crowd with hisguitarplaying, his singing and rhetoric, Manson exhibited many of the outward manifestations of hippie identity. Yet he hardly exemplified the hippie ideals of peace, love, compassion and human fellowship; through twisted logic,hallucinogenic drugs,andpsychological manipulation,he inspired his followers to commit murder. Manson's highly publicized 1970 trial and subsequent conviction in January 1971 irrevocably tarnished the hippie image in the eyes of many Americans.[52]

John Lennon

[edit]
Main article:John Lennon § Political activism

Also around this time, John Lennon of the Beatles and his wifeYoko Onotook up the mantle of a more prominent media role, as a force for continuing the 'humane revolution' that was politically opposed to the 'establishment'. As early as March 1969 the couple had conducted their first "Bed-In for Peace"; in August 1971 they moved to New York City and joined up with the Chicago Trial "Yippie" defendants and other notable activists. In December 1971, Lennon sang at theJohn Sinclair Freedom RallyinMichigan,calling attention toSinclair's ten-year prison sentence for giving twojointsto an undercover policewoman. Sinclair's release was suddenly approved by the state's authorities three days later, a testimony to the potential force of popular pressure; however, soon thereafter, the Nixon administration responded by seeking to have Lennon deported, on the pretext of a 1968 marijuana conviction in London. This dragged on through half of 1973, only increasing their status as anti-war and counterculture celebrities; by June 1973, the Watergate hearings had begun in earnest, and the famous pair made their final political statement by attending one of them. In 1975, the deportation case was dropped, and Lennon and Yoko attended the Inaugural Ball of presidentJimmy Carterin January 1977.

Mainstream

[edit]

Much of hippie style had been integrated into mainstream American society by the early 1970s.[56][57][58]Large rock concerts that originated with the 1967Monterey Pop Festivaland the 1968Isle of Wight Festivalbecame the norm. Mustaches, beards, sideburns, and longer hair became mainstream, and colorful, multi-ethnic clothing dominated the fashion world.

Starting in the late 1960s, some working classskinheadshave attacked hippies.[59][60][61]Hippies were also vilified and sometimes attacked bypunks,[62]revivalist mods,greasers,football casuals,Teddy Boysand members of other American and European youth cultures in the 1970s and 1980s. Hippie ideals were a marked influence onanarcho-punkand somepost-punkyouth cultures, such as theSecond Summer of Love.

In the mid-1970s, with the end of the draft and theVietnam War,and a renewal ofpatrioticsentiment associated with the approach of theUnited States Bicentennial,the mainstream media lost interest in the hippie counterculture, and hippies became targets for ridicule, coinciding with the advent ofpunk rockanddisco.[citation needed]Although not as visible as it once was, hippie culture has never died out completely: hippies and neo-hippies can still be found on college campuses, on communes and at festivals; while many still embrace the hippie values of peace, love and community. Although many of the original hippies and those who were core to the movement remained (or remain) dedicated to the values they originally espoused, many of those who played more peripheral roles are often seen as having "sold out" during the 1980s by becoming a part of the corporate, materialist culture they initially rejected.[63][64]

Mainstream popularity of psychedelic music

[edit]

Psychedelic hard rock was the first of the psychedelic subgenres to reach the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 songs in June 1966 with "Paint It Black"bythe Rolling Stones.The Stones had previously hadhard rockhits such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"(1965), and with" Paint It Black ", they now combined hard rock with psychedelia. Other psychedelic rock #1 hits over the years were: 1967 -"Ruby Tuesday"(The Rolling Stones),"Light My Fire"(The Doors), "The Letter"(The Box Tops); 1968 - "Hello, I Love You"(The Doors),"People Got to Be Free"(The Rascals); 1969 - "Crimson and Clover"(Tommy James and the Shondells,psychedelicgarage rock); 1970 - "Venus"(Shocking Blue).

For the next several years, as new psychedelic subgenres began to mushroom, combining with other styles, the charts saw numerous #1 hits reflecting their level of popularity with young music listeners. These subgenres included:

Many genres that first appeared in the 1970s also incorporated psychedelic influences in the beginning, such assoft rockanddisco,though they soon developed their own sounds that were distinct from psychedelic music.

Legacy

Since the 1960s, many aspects of the hippiecounterculturehave been assimilated by the mainstream.[65][66]

Religious and cultural diversity has gained greater acceptance. Eastern religions and spiritual concepts,karmaandreincarnationin particular, have reached a wider audience with around 20% of Americans espousing someNew Agebelief.[67]A wide range of personal appearance options and clothing styles have become acceptable, all of which were uncommon before the hippie era.[68][69]Co-operative business enterprises and creative community living arrangements are widely accepted. Interest in natural food, herbal remedies and vitamins is widespread, and the little hippie "health food stores" of the 1960s and 1970s are now large-scale, profitable businesses.

The immediate legacy of the hippies included: in fashion, the decline in popularity of thenecktiewhich had been everyday wear during the 1950s and early 1960s, and generally longer hairstyles, even for politicians such asPierre Trudeau;in literature, books likeThe Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test;[70]in music, the blending offolk rockinto newer forms includingacid rockandheavy metal;in television and film, far greater visibility and influence, with some films depicting the hippie ethos and lifestyle, such asWoodstock,Easy Rider,Hair,The Doors,andCrumb.Hippies were frequently parodied on popular television series of the time likeStar Trek,while shows likeDragnetregularly portrayed them in a negative light as drug-crazed hedonists. Even children's television shows likeH.R. Pufnstuf,[71]and educational shows such asThe Electric Company[72]andMulligan Stewwere influenced by the hippies.

While many hippies made a long-term commitment to the lifestyle, some younger people argue that hippies "sold out" during the 1980s and became part of the materialist, consumer culture.[64]

Hippies who did not "sell out" have been featured in the press as recently as April 2014. Forty years after founding the "Hippie Kitchen" inLos Angeles' Skid Rowin the back of a van,Catholic WorkersJeff Dietrich, adraft resister,and Catherine Morris, aformer nun,remained active in their work feeding Skid Row residents andprotesting wars,especially in front of the localFederal Building.[73]

Hippies may still be found inbohemianenclaves around the world.[74]

Contemporary hippies have made use of theWorld Wide Weband can be found on virtual communities. In theUnited Kingdom,theNew Age travellersmovement, while eschewing the label 'hippie', nevertheless revived many hippie traditions into the 1980s and 1990s. Current events,festivalsandpartiescontinue to promote the hippie lifestyle and values. The "boho-chic"fashion style of 2003-2007 had a number of hippie features and the LondonEvening Standardeven used the term "hippie chic" (March 11, 2005).

Neo-hippies

[edit]
Art carseen in Northern California

Neo-hippies, some of whom are children and grandchildren of the original hippies, advocate many of the same beliefs of their 1960s counterparts. Drug use is just as accepted as in the "original" hippie days, although some neo-hippies do not consider it necessary to take drugs in order to be part of the lifestyle, and others reject drug use in favor of alternative methods of reaching higher or altered consciousness such as drumming circles, community singing, meditation, yoga and dance. On April 20 (4/20) many neo-hippies gather at "Hippie Hill"in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

In the United States, some hippies refer to themselves as "Rainbows", a name derived from their tie-dyed T-shirts, and for some, from their participation in the hippie group, "Rainbow Familyof Living Light ". Since the early 1970s, the Rainbows meet informally atRainbow Gatheringson U.S. National Forest Land as well as internationally. "Peace, love, harmony, freedom, and community" is their motto.

Festivals

[edit]
Glastonbury Festival in 1985

The tradition of hippie festivals began in the United States in 1965 with Ken Kesey'sAcid Tests,where theGrateful Deadplayed under the influence ofLSDand initiated psychedelic jamming. For the next several decades, many hippies and neo-hippies became part of theDeadheadandPhish Headcommunities, attending music and art festivals held around the country. TheGrateful Deadtoured continuously, with few interruptions between 1965 and 1995.Phishtoured sporadically between 1983 and 2004. With the demise of theGrateful DeadandPhish,the nomadic touring hippies have been left without a main jam band to follow. Instead, they attend a growing series of summer festivals, the largest of which is called theBonnaroo Music & Arts Festival,which premiered in 2002.

TheOregon Country Fairbegan in 1969 as a benefit for an alternative school. Currently, the three-day festival features handmade crafts, educational displays and costumed entertainment in a wooded setting nearVeneta, Oregon,just west ofEugene.Each year the festival becomes the third largest city in Lane County.

The annualStarwood Festival,founded in 1981, is a six-day event held inPomeroy, Ohio[75]indicative of the spiritual quest of hippies through an exploration of non-mainstream religions and world-views. It has offered performances and classes by a variety of hippie and counter-culture icons, from musical guests likeBig Brother and the Holding Company,Merl SaundersandBabatunde Olatunjito speakers such asTimothy Leary,Terence McKenna,Paul Krassner,Stephen Gaskin,Robert Anton Wilson,Harvey WassermanandRalph Metzner.

TheBurning Manfestival began in 1986 at a San Francisco beach party. Now an annual gathering, the event is held in theBlack Rock Desertnortheast ofReno, Nevada.Though few participants would accept the "hippie" label, Burning Man is a contemporary expression of alternative community in the same spirit as early hippie events. The gathering becomes a temporary city (36,500 occupants in 2005), with elaborate encampments, displays and manyart cars.

Held annually in Manchester, Tennessee, theBonnaroo Music and Arts Festivalhas become a tradition for many music fans, since its sold-out premiere in 2002. Approximately 70–80,000 attend Bonnaroo yearly. The festival producers have made investments in their property, constructing vast telecommunications networks, potable water supplies, sanitation facilities, and safety features such as first aid shelters for every 200-300 fans.

The10,000 Lakes Festivalis an annual three-day music festival inDetroit Lakes, Minnesota.Also referred to as '10KLF' (K for thousand, LF for Lakes Festival), the festival began in 2003. Attendance in 2006 was around 18,000.[76]

Hippies at theNambassa1981 FestivalNew Zealand

In the UK, there are manynew age travellerswho are known as hippies to outsiders, but prefer to call themselves thePeace Convoy.They started theStonehenge Free Festivalin 1974, especiallyWally Hope,until theEnglish Heritagelegally banned the festival, resulting in theBattle of the Beanfieldin 1985. With Stonehenge banned as a festival site new age travellers gather at the annualGlastonbury Festivalto see hundreds of live dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and other performances. Others argue that it has now become too much of a commercial event, and instead opt for smaller festivals such asBeautiful Days,Sunrise Celebration,or theBig Green Gathering.In 2005, Glastonbury festival covered 900 acres (3.6 km2) and attracted 150,000 people.

In Australia, the hippie movement began to emerge in the mid to late 60's with the subculture being showcased at thePilgrimage for Pop Festivalheld inOurimbah, New South Waleson 24 and 25 Jan 1970.[77]| The scene continued to evolve through theAquarius Festivalheld in 1971 inCanberraand again inNimbintwo years later.[78]Many festival goers stayed in Nimbin, transforming the town and local area. It also resulted in the formation of one of Australia's largest and most successfulcommunes.

Between 1976 and 1981, hippie music festivals were held on large farms aroundWaihiandWaikinoinNew Zealand-Aotearoa.NamedNambassa,the festivals focused onpeace,love,and a balanced lifestyle, featuringworkshopsand displays advocatingalternative lifestyles,clean andsustainable energy,and unadulterated foods. Nambassa is also the tribal name of a trust that has championed sustainable ideas and demonstrated practicalcountercultureandalternative lifestylemethods since the early 1970s.[79]

Many of the bands performing at hippie festivals, and their derivatives, are calledjam bands,since they play songs that contain long instrumentals similar to the original hippie bands of the 1960s.Psychedelic tranceor "psytrance",a type oftechnomusic influenced by 1960spsychedelic rockand hippie culture is also popular among neo-hippies worldwide. Psytrance hippies usually attend separate festivals where only electronic music is played.
