Just been watching a documentary about hipppys in the 60s and flower power and stuff. And it seems like they created a revolution of love and peace. The fashion was amazing and everyone seemed so happy.
What happend!
Have we just gone down hill from then or was it never that great? Is this just the impression i get from the media and in reality it was just a minority and the people wernt genuinely into it they just acted like it because it was in fashion?
Im 17, i would like to hear from someone that was a teen back then.
Thanks
