= __The Counterculture__ =

Some young people in the 1960s sought to create a new lifestyle based on colorful clothing, rock music, drugs, and living together. This new lifestyle was known as the counterculture. They were also known as hippies. They wanted to live in a Utopia; most of them left home and lived in communes where everyone shared their possessions and worked together. After a few years, hippies became few in numbers and their lifestyle declined. But, the counterculture still had an enormous impact on American culture.
