Social background of hippie style

Hippies' Bohemian national costumes became popular in the late 1960s, and the Beatles advocated love &; The idea of peace, young people opposed the uniform concept brought by the fashion industry to society, so they launched the Renaissance revolution and implemented the ancient style.

1967, the Beatles took the lead in seeking psychotherapy in India, which not only made India, Nepal and other places become tourist attractions, but also made Bohemian national costumes become the fashion of young people.

In the 1960s and 1970s, young people rebelled against the customs and politics at that time, and grew long hair (many people think that long hair is an offense, which means untidiness or femininity), grew beards, and wore colorful clothes or abnormal clothes.

Hippies evolved from the beat generation in the 1960s, and young counterculturalists in Greenwich Village on the east coast of the United States called themselves hips. Many disappointed young people from downtown new york gathered in the village, wearing the oldest clothes. The media that first used the word hippie to describe these middle-class children in old clothes was a radio station.

1September 6, 965 Herb Kane, the San Francisco Chronicle, used the word hippie for the first time to describe these young Bohemians, but in the next two years, other media almost stopped using it.

Hippies are a cultural movement without unity. They opposed nationalism and the Vietnam War with a commune-like wandering life style without manifesto and leaders, advocated non-traditional religious culture, criticized the values of the middle class in western countries, criticized the government's restrictions on citizens' rights and interests, the greed of big companies, the narrowness of traditional morality and the inhumanity of war, and called the institutions and organizations they opposed "the establishment". At that time, hippies wanted to change their minds (by using drugs, mystical practice or a mixture of the two) and get rid of the mainstream of society. Far East metaphysics, religious practice and totem belief of primitive tribes have great influence on hippies, which evolved into a new era movement of mysticism in the 1970 s.
