What was the 60's like?

Answer 1

Young generations rebelled against the conservative norms of the time, as well as disassociate themselves from mainstream liberalism. They turned away from the high levels of materialism which were so common during the era. It began in the United States as a reaction against the conservative social norms and stasis of the 1950s, the political conservatism. The more social/cultural youth from the movement were called hippies. There was a sexual revolution, questioning authority and government, and demanding more freedoms and rights for women, homosexuals, and minorities. The movement was marked by drug use (marijuana LSD) and psychedelic music.
