Question
The Counterculture
The counterculture movement that arose in the 1960s was influential in shaping American popular culture and politics. Members of the counterculture were popularly known as hippies. Hippies urged increased interest in environmentalism. They opposed the war in Vietnam. They also challenged traditional social patterns. Hippies tried to live and work “outside the system”—for example, publishing underground newspapers or shopping at co-ops. During the early 1970s, some hippies lived together in communes. Communes were group living environments that emphasized sharing resources and living simply.
Concerts provided the opportunity to come together in celebration of youth, rebellion, and individuality. In August 1969, nearly 400,000 people attended the Woodstock rock music festival in Bethel, New York. The crowd saw 32 acts perform during the rainy three-day event. Woodstock became the touchstone of a generation. No other event better symbolized the cultural independence and freedom of Americans coming of age in the late 1960s.
Watch the video about the counterculture movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. As you watch, consider how the counterculture shaped American society over time.
