Beatniks What Changes? Against conformity Anti-materialistic Fiercely Independent The Beatniks combined with…

Rock and Roll Teenagers begin to split-off into their own cultural sub-group. They have very different views/interest than their parents.

Enter the 1960s What events influenced the rise in counterculture? What was the counterculture, and what impact did it have on American society? In the 1960s, youths rebelled against long-standing customs in dress, music, and personal behavior. The counterculture both challenged traditional values and unleashed a movement to reassert basic values. What events influenced the rise in counterculture?

The catalyst: The Kennedy Assassination The 50s Beatniks/Rock Civil Rights Movement The Vietnam War The catalyst: The Kennedy Assassination

Who was part of the counterculture? The generation gap and the Baby Boomers The “Hippie Style”

People and Places of the Counterculture Timothy Leary-political activist/proponent of drug use. “Tune in, turn on, drop out” Haight-Ashbury-part of San Francisco, famous as a popular gathering/cultural location. Woodstock- Music festival in NY, that “lived” the values of the counterculture

Four main elements defined the counterculture. Rock-and-roll music -music became a vehicle for social change The sexual revolution -changing beliefs on marriage and monogamy A belief that drugs could free the mind -Recreational use was acceptable and had benefits An interest in spirituality -Finding a new religion/belief/purpose

The legacy Many young people rejected materialism and were socially engaged. Groups such as women and the physically challenged sought equality. Colleges and universities began to offer multicultural programs of study. Drug addiction and overdose deaths rose. Violence at a Rolling Stones concert contradicted the hippies’ message of peace and love. Many people believed the counterculture had become shallow and self-centered.
