TEENAGERS' SUBCULTURES

Hippies

 

Hippies just like bikers take "freedom" as the main idea of their movement. Hippy protests against governmental system, they believe that they fight against it with system's own weapon. They also neglect all social rules as they consider these rules to be a cell for people. They don't believe in marriage because according to their ideology no one is allowed even know about their privet life and the more so to control it. They don't believe in art as they consider life to be the only art, they travel all around the world neglecting boundaries and visas.

Hippy's love is a mix of freedom and joy, the main rule of hippy's love is no lye. If you want to kiss the blue-eyed one and then the green-eyed one just do it as every man and woman is free to do anything he or she wants, no one has a right to forbid something. If you love don't lye, don't play the hypocrite give your all for love as love is more important than lover. Hippy is (especially during the 1960s) a person whose behaviour, dress, use of drugs, etc., implied a rejection of conventional values.

The reason of hippy's movement appearance was a social one. USA's 60s were distinctive for its urbanisation, industrialisation etc., people forgot about nature and about everything connected with it. They were gloomy in their appearance, eye-look, behaviour and conversation; they concentrated their attention on material stuff and forgot about spiritual happy. More over Vietnam War was conducted by American government, a lot of innocent people died and there appeared people who expressed their protest against deaths and those people soon became known as hippies. Sure political-social view wasn't a single reason for hippy movement appearance as hippies first of all were young people so another basic reason was music. Rock'n'role united a great number of youth and hippies were among them.

The culmination of rock'n'roll fame concured with LSD non-medical usage, it's become accessible almost for everyone, so hippy took it for another way of beauty delighting. We have to admit that LSD wasn't cheap  so one needed the sum of money to buy it and this fact prejudiced hippies' protest against material welfare. The centre of hippies' activity was San Francisco. It's better to say that San Francisco was a capital of hippy movement and culture, as 60's San Francisco was like an alternative world. It was totally different; it differed of other city by genius of the time. So, first hippies were the barriers of love, happiness, goodness no-violence ideas, they admired with flowers, birds, sky and other creations of the nature. They admitted no boundaries, rules and restrictions; they travelled all around the world and considered San Francisco  their mother city. But the time has passed, the world has changed so as the hippy movement's ideas and way of living. Today you will hardly find the hippy we told you about, the one who is as free as he has to be, the one who neglects material welfare and believes in nature as the only beauty.
