The hippies of the 1960s are an example of counterculture. This movement began in the early 1960s as a youth movement in United States and then developed around the world. Hippies wanted to be free from social restrictions, and choose their own way. They questioned authority and distanced themselves from the conformist segments of the society. They were the opposite to the "establishment", that is why the movement is considered an example of counterculture.
