The Hippie MovementIt starts... * The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s,and was swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. The etymology of the term ‘hippie’ is from hipster, and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The early "hippies" ideologies included the countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Some created their own social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.Beginning continued... * Started in San Francisco in the Haight district in the summer of love... 1967. — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijTe7jhincO * Spread west from there — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpLqt3FXpiQPeace sign & symbol * The V, dove & olive branch, etc. — Created as a symbol for nuclear disarmamentpress feelings, and bond together any bands to count..

He advertised the parties with posters that read, "Can YOU Pass The Acid Test?", and the name was later popularized in Tom Wolfe's 1968 book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Musical performances by the Grateful Dead were commonplace, along with black lights, strobe lights, and fluorescent paint. The Acid Tests are notable for their influence on the LSD- based counterculture of the San Francisco area and subsequent transition from the beat generation to the hippie movement.FURTHUR bus * Psychedelic drug use to “expand consciousness” * MeRRY pRANKSTErSThe WOODSTOCK festival Held in upstate NY.. 3,000 miles from Haight & Ashbury.
