There was a lot of social change that began in the 60s, like womens liberation and civil rights. But the people behind those movements weren't necessarily hippies. When I think of hippies, I think of people living on communes, trying to live simple and "natural" lives.

Before the 60's were over the "hippies" claimed the movement to be over, dead. By the late 70's early 80's most of them did sell out. They did protest the war and made their feelings know, even though most Americans didn't understand they were antiwar not anti-troops. I do believe , though that with them started freedom of thought and expression.

No, they brought the "freelove" around and what do we have to show for it, STD's out the wazoo. Most hippies sold out and became yuppies anyway. The dollar won in the end. Anyway, the majority of the hippies were spoiled richkids trying to po mom and dad anyway.

no. but they were the generation that finally openly questionned the government. even though that right was written into our constitution, the general population only grumbled behind closed doors. things haven't been the same since. sadly, the idealism was never embraced by subsequent generations. hippies stood for peace, love, harmony with man and nature. todays generation, if they have enough energy to stand at all, do it only for their selfish selves.

No, they became the people they were rebelling against and knew how to stop those from doing the same things they did. They got more people to become politically active but the 360 they did to turn into yuppies and greedy corporations and warmongers negates any good they may have done.

no, because the government saw that they were going to be exposed, so they took away their weed. everything pretty much fell apart after that, and everyone is a mind controlled slave for the government. just like they want.
