Counter-Culture vs. Mainstream

The postwar era of was a time of amazing economic growth & prosperity for millions of Americans: adult, mostly white, middle & upper class – Survived Great Depression, fought WWII, & now expected lives of peace – They moved to suburbs, found good jobs, began families, assuming their children would go to college and have even better lives than they did 4 concepts typified Mainstream America: – They were very patriotic (“America: Love it or leave it.”) – They believed in the institution of marriage (You fall in love, you get married.) – They believed in the American Dream (Work hard and you can have a good life) – They believed conformity kept society ordered (fashion, jobs, behavior, etc) MAINSTREAMERS

Mostly young, white Americans born just after the war began challenging established mainstream values Stressed pursuit of personal freedom & alternative lifestyles, rebellion against conformity & materialism. Worked to stop racism, war, & poverty 6 ideas typified this movement – Communal living – Experimental Drug Use – Scandalous Fashions – Political Activism – New Music Styles – Sexual liberation/revolution The Counterculture

Many CC youth moved to city centers like San Fran’s Haight-Ashbury District & NYC’s East Village, but another segment of the CC left the city altogether & set up communes in isolated places in the mountains of CA or NM They attempted to live their lives based on cooperation & love, to live in harmony with nature, not conquer it Despite moving to communes for equality and a new lifestyle, many women still found themselves in the same positions they had been in society Communal Living
