Hippie+Culture-ED

In the 1960's, many young Americans rejected the system and sought to create a new lifestyle based on flamboyant dress, rock music, drug use, and communal living. They were know as hippies and they rejected rationality. They wanted to build a utopia that was more free, full of love, and closer to nature. The way the hippies dressed were things such as long hair, Native American headbands, cowboy boots, long dresses, shabby jeans, and using drugs. They also wanted to drop out of society and leaving their homes to live in communes. A famous commune was San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district.
