☮ Best Hippie Movies ♡
The hippie movement, also known as the counterculture movement of the 1960s and early 1970s, emerged as a powerful cultural phenomenon centered around peace, love, and freedom. It was characterized by a rejection of mainstream societal norms, materialism, and the established political order, promoting instead a lifestyle centered on spiritual exploration, communal living, and ecological consciousness. By the mid-1970s, the hippie movement had largely faded, but its influence persisted, particularly in the form of new age spirituality, progressive politics, and alternative living communities. It remains a symbol of a time when a generation sought to change the world through love, creativity, and a desire to live authentically.
