This culture is called c. counterculture.

Explanation:

Counterculture is a type of the culture present in a given society, which opposes its values and views to those of the mainstream culture or other prevalent subcultures.

Hippie subculture that spurred in 1960 is an example of a prominent subculture, which triggered revolutionary changes society-wide. Hippie subculture was anti-establishment pacifist movement that also promoted civil rights. In particular, it was advocating for the end of the war in Vietnam (1955 - 1975). The protests held by hippie activists united a great number of people in the U. S, which were also against the war but did not belong to this counterculture.
