5. Zeitgeist and Future Influences
Concept here derives from the original hippies,
descendants of the beatnik culture
Hippie culture was a direct result to social and
political changes from the post-war era
Make love not war - motto can be seen in the communal
living at Haight-Ashbury (California) and Woodstock (New
York) where musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin
revolutionized ideas about gender, sex, music, drugs and
love
Movement of today reacts to social and political control
of gender, culture and environmental rules
