Hippies were known as a young people who, rebelled against commercial, straitlaced, consumer-oriented society by means of their drug use, free sexuality, long hair and communal living. This subculture were associated with Woodstock festivals where they were easily perceived by the way they looked like. They had long hair with beaded headbands. They were also characterized by wearing torn blue jeans and tie-dyed shirts and sandals.

In those days of relative prosperity, it was quite easy to live with very little money. For instance, sharing a flat was superior than possessing their own one..
