Hi dwixi,

I think part of it was the Vietnam war thing, part of it was the new drug culture and part of it was the 'make love not war' hippie chant.

Have you seen anything of Woodstock? "All we are saying is give peace a chance" - so it was a movement against war and for peace and also it was about being young and rebellious. Oh yes, and everybody grows up and becomes 'establishment' after some time.
