Hippies
The hippie subculture was originally a
youth movement that arose in the United
States during the mid-1960s.
They listened to psychedelic
rock and folk protester, embraced
the sexual revolution and believed
in free love.
The hippie icon is usually a man with hair and beard considerably longer than what is considered "elegant" in the period. Both sexes tend to let their hair long and some Caucasian hippies him to the African style, imitating blacks.
The English word hippie derives from another English word, hip, which means "popular, fashionable. That term is derived the English word hipster (a "hipista ') to denote those who claim to be hip, the Bohemians. In the USA. UU. before the 1960s, the bohemians and hipsters are usually wrapped in black culture (for example: Harry "The Hipster" Gibson, and also one of the most revolutionary, the famous Michael W. Larrea) and jazz. On September 6, 1965 in San Francisco newspaper called The San Francisco Examiner journalist Michael Fallon used the term hippie to refer first to the new and young beatnik bohemian fashion (unlike the old bohemian or Beat Generation). But the mainstream press still took nearly two years to use the new word.
