COUNTERCULTURE
• The counterculture movement
was the nickname given to youth
in the 1960’s who rejected
mainstream American society
and values and their parents way
of life.
• Philosophy: This is America so I
can do whatever I want.
• Philosophy of average citizens:
What they are doing doesn’t
affect me. Let them do what they
want as long as they are happy
(life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness).
• Basically, anything goes.
HIPPIE SLOGAN
• “Tune in, Turn on, Drop out.”
• Created by Harvard psychology professor Timothy
Leary to get Americans to embrace psychedelic drug
use, especially the use of LSD. Leary will be fired.
• 'Tune in' meant to use drugs to open your mind to
new perspectives.
• 'Turn on' meant be a part of the modern change in
society…the youth movement.
• Drop out of society and its commitments. Selfreliance. Do what you want to do rather than what is
expected by authority figures and society.

EVERYTHING.
• “Love-ins” and “HumanBe-ins”
MUSIC

‘n’ roll music and

SEXUAL REVOLUTION
• Sexual revolution=American attitudes toward sexual
behavior became more casual, permissive, and open.
• TV, books, magazines, and music began addressing
subjects that had once been only discussed in private.
• Birth control invented (eliminated the consequences of
immorality).
• 2 pornographic magazines companies become popular:
Playboy and Penthouse.
• Result=more liberal and immodest clothing (mini skirt and
string bikini), tolerance for people who are “different”, lack
of respect for the social norms, open topics of
conversation.
• Moral decay?
