Sub Culture

Hippy

The Hippie subculture was originally a youth movement which arose in the mid 1960s in United States of America but Hippies is known as jipitecas in Mexico. The etymology of the term hippes is actually from the word hipster and when it started, it spreads rapidly to every other country all around the world. Most Hippies put a tire round their hair and dresses in an unusual way but very colourful. They are also drug addicted.

Hippies believe so much in peace as the way to resolve differences among peoples. The Broadway musical Hair was noted not only for its amazing music, but for the big nude scene. Going naked is one of the great freedoms that hippies discovered. Hippies weren't about to compromise. Nude beaches, nude sunbathing and swimming, nudist colonies, all proliferated thanks to hippies. Nudism puts us closer to nature. It erases our sexual hang-ups and fears, by dissolving the psychological link between nakedness and sex, thus letting us relax and enjoy the beauty of the human body not only that, Ethnicity, TV, movie, literature etc are mostly the ones that Hippie fashions add values to and had a major effect on most.
