Hippie = a middle class youth that rejected the values of their parents generation and joined the counter-culture.

Even if they had a few or no *local* hippies, they could encounter Hippies from the West traveling on the "Hippie Trail" traveling to Goa in India, Sri Lanka, and Kathmandu in Nepal, and further points East, and French hippies crossing the Sahara in Citroen 2CVs and Meharis.

The counter-culture movement was very much a part of free Europe and America. There was an underground in Japan too, but it's mostly the west. Those were strange days indeed.

I think you could trace the modern hippy movement at least back to WWI and the Dada artistic movement.
