Etymology
The term 'hippie' originated during the 1960s in the United States, evolving from the earlier label 'hip,' which described people who were aware of the latest trends and social issues. The word 'hip' can be traced back to the 1940s, when it emerged in jazz culture, signifying someone who was in the know. As the counterculture movement grew, particularly among young people opposing the Vietnam War and advocating for civil rights, the label 'hippie' was adopted. The hippie movement became widely recognized and influential, representing ideals of peace, love, and communal living. The Summer of Love in 1967 in San Francisco epitomized the height of the hippie movement, drawing attention from around the world. Over the decades, the term 'hippie' has evolved and sometimes carries a nostalgic or romantic connotation, evoking ideas of freedom and artistic expression.
