Hippie (English hippie or Hippy transliteration) was originally used to describe young people who rebelled against customs and politics in western countries in the 1960s and 1970s. The name hippie was popularized by Herb Kane, a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. Hippies are not a unified cultural movement. They have no manifesto or leader. Hippies reflected their opposition to nationalism and the Vietnam War in a public vagabond lifestyle. They advocate non-traditional religious culture and criticize the values of the middle class in western countries.
