There was no official name for these individuals, but they collectively became known as "hippies". They embraced music and oftentimes drugs as a way of showing their nonconformity.

"Hippie" was the name given to the young people of the 1960s who rebelled against traditional values.

Hippie is the name that the member of the counterculture of the 1960s received. It originally constituted a youth movement that began in the United States during the mid-1960s and spread to other countries around the world.

The term hippie first became popular in San Francisco.

Hippie fashion and values had a significant effect on culture, influencing popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts.
