Did the hippy movement die??
As a mass movement it certainly withered away and there were several incidents that changed the mood of young people, contributing to its demise. The Charles Manson murder of Sharon Tate was one such incident. Another was a Rolling Stones concert, I think at Monterey where the Hells Angels who were supposed to be stewards killed some of the audience. I can’t remember the details but I am sure you could find out more on the web. Perhaps the biggest thing that killed it off was the fact that most of us grew up, sold out got married and had 2.4 children in little houses in suburbia. It was great at the time and we believed we were going to change to world but I guess the world changed us.
