On peut affirmer que le mouvement hippie s’est formé à partir du rejet d’une certaine forme de vie sociale que les jeunes n’ acceptaient pas. En effet, les adolescents de cette époque étaient bien conscients de faire partie d’une nouvelle génération révoltée contre la société et leurs parents, qui d’ailleurs n’ appréciaient pas trop leurs goûts musicaux, leurs comportements ni leur look. 1, record 2, French, - mouvement%20hippie
