1960-1969 was more than just a decade, it was a state of mind. The SIXTIES were an exciting, revolutionary, turbulent time of great social and technological change: assassination, unforgettable fashion, new musical styles, civil rights, women's liberation, a controversial and devisive war in Vietnam, the first man landing on the moon, peace marches, World's Fairs, flower power, great TV & film, and sexual freedom.
Due to the baby boom between 1945 and 1955, over half the population was under 30 years old. To say these young people had a strong desire to change the world, would be an understatement. They began to revolt against society to make their statement to do away with the conservative beliefs of the adult world. Most of their demonstrations were peaceful, they merely wanted to be an example that they could live in their own society, and create their own social system.
The most famous demonstration that was held was Woodstock. It took place in 1969, and lasted for 3 days. It was a living example that a large number of people could stay together for an extended period of time with peace and love in their hearts. The hippies, as they were called, were frequently known as the lost generation. They rejected traditional family values in order to have other arrangements based on love. http://www.hippiekolibrie.com/
