Why were religion, music and science 'exceptional' in the sixties??

Question

Need to argue that it was exceptional hard to do if you didnt live through it !

Answer 1

Being from the 60's(elementery and high school) I could say the change in music was the birth of the "electric amplified" music.Though there was amplified music in the 50's it was not until the 60's that "science" moved into music-channelling electricity-to change the sound of music.
