Counterculture

The counterculture of the 1960s was often known as a cultural movement. This movement encouraged equality among everything and everyone and anti-war. The need to address minority rights of women, gays, the handicapped, and many other neglected constituencies within the larger population came to the forefront as an increasing number of primarily younger people broke free from the constraints of 1950s orthodoxy in a desire to create a more inclusive and tolerant social landscape.

The counter culture was often known to use drugs such as Marijuana and LSD. As a result of this movement things like feminism, the Stonewall Riots, environmentalism, and many music and media related things sprung up.

Often times the people associated with the counterculture were known as hippies and often experimented with drugs, dress, and style.
