Like country music comes from like hippies; like hippies comes from a desperate menswear design class and a color film "Yellow Submarine" screened in a design class one day.
Still more interested in the history of clothing. As a result, when looking up the historical materials of men's clothing, it was irretrievable to the cute hippies (thinking to themselves) that they "like it at first sight".
Hippie is the translation of the English word hippy. The decadent sects that have emerged since the 1960s, because of their dissatisfaction with the society, have been negative and decadent, and advocate non-violence and gregariousness. Hippies are in contrast to yuppies. Hippies evade society and refuse to work. Even if it is hard work, they are only willing to engage in free and easy work, and they prefer manual art types, such as gardeners, tailors, tourists, etc. (They are all my favorite professions...) The tidy, orderly and tasteful life of Yuppies is exactly what hippies spurned. They advocate nature and simplicity, and return to the countryside is the ideal of hippies' life. Hippies call themselves "hipsters" and look down on the bad habits of the urban middle class.
The hippies and the hippie movement sprouted in the 1950s (actually a continuation of the "Beat Generation"), prevailed throughout the 1960s and reached its peak in the mid-1960s. The composition of hippies includes the "nationalists" who advocate the life in the western countryside and the "surfists" who have a relaxed attitude towards life. They respectively advocate the transformation of industrial society into a rural life style and exciting hedonism. Although their opinions are different, they all reject modern society and seek a pure way of life-the rhythm of nature.
In politics, hippies preached peace. They have demonstrated many times against the war and often clashed with the police. Ideologically, hippies preach that love is supreme. The summer of 1967 was called the "Summer of Love" for hippies. On Easter Sunday that year, tens of thousands of young men and women gathered on the Shepherd Meadows of Central Park in New York to pay tribute to love and form a "circle of love" hand in hand. The classic slogan of hippies is "love and peace". In terms of lifestyle, they are anti-traditional, alcoholic, and unshaven. Both men and women have long and tousled hair and unkempt, but they live together in groups. The hippie movement is a branch cultural movement. Since 1972, they have held a rainbow conference in the mountains of northern California every year. Every year, tens of thousands of hippies come from all over the country regardless of race, gender and religion. They stipulate: wear flowers on the head to symbolize peace, freedom, and friendship, and separate the index finger and the middle finger as a "V" gesture to express "love and giving."
Hippie style has strong imitation and homogeneity due to hippies' social life. Most of the hippie youths are handicraft workers, so they prefer to express the characteristics of handmade in clothing. Even when they reluctantly adopt modern ready-made clothes, they will add their own decorations by hand. They love the natural and plain worn-out denim, barefoot or flip-flop sandals, the cuffs, pockets, and trouser openings of the clothes are disassembled into fibers, and fringed fringes are decorated on the back of the chest; the fabric is tie-dyed, batik and hand-painted flower patterns and Hand-embroidered for decoration; the backpack is stitched together with different colors of leather blocks, or a rectangular flat rucksack made of denim, the bottom of the bag is also decorated with tassels; wooden bead necklaces and iron sleeve bracelets are worn as a set; fancy dress or Don't paint, or exaggerate.
The 1969 film "The Calm Knight" described the real life situations of dozens of hippies living in groups in the Americas. They gave up the city to punk and built their own gathering camps. Those who did not have the financial means to buy land began to live a wandering life.
When the wandering convoy went to the prehistoric boulders to celebrate the summer solstice in 1985, hundreds of police "escorts" were ambushed on the road, and hundreds of "smelly hippies who never did laundry" were arrested. This conflict, known as the "Battle of Soybean Fields," has continued to this day.
The Beatles is a representative figure of the hippie era. In the music history of The Beatles, "Yellow Submarine" does not play the role of a great work, but it has its "alternative" influence and artistic value. With the emergence of anti-war ideas, drugs, Eastern philosophical ideas and hippie culture, psychedelic wind swept the world. Recommend to have a look ^_^
