Hippie (sometimes spelled hippy) is a member of the counterculture of the 1960s, originally a youth movement that began in the United States and spread to other countries around the world. The word hippie came from hipster and was used to describe beatniks who moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. While it faded out of fashion in the 70's, it has enjoyed occasional blips of popularity since the 90's.


Visual

For more information on the predominant part of the Hippie visuals, please check out the Psychedelica page, as the roots of Psychedelica are tied to early Hippie culture and still tie into the modern day Hippie aesthetic.
