HIPPY & INTERVIEW

The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, The foundation of the hippie movement finds historical precedent as far back as the counterculture of the Ancient Greeks Hippie fashions and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music  and the arts.Hippies sought to free themselves from societal restrictions, choose their own way, and find new meaning in life. One expression of hippie independence from societal norms was found in their standard of dress and grooming, which made hippies instantly recognizable to one another, and served as a visual symbol of their respect for individual rights.
