Hippies
The hippy movement started
in the 1960s. Men and women
grew their hair long, wore Indian
style clothes and usually wore or
carried flowers. They believed in
love and peace. Hippies often
lived in communes, were
vegetarians and didn’t conform.
They enjoyed the songs of Bob
Dylan, an American folk singer
and song writer. The Beatles were
the most famous British pop
group of all time.
Punks
Punks appeared in the
1970s and were against
money. Many teenagers
blamed the society of
unemployment and hard life.
They expressed negative
feelings and a new youth
culture started up. They were
full of hate and aggression.
They listened to punk rock,
which was loud, often violent
music. Punks wore black
leather jackets, ripped Tshirts, put safety pins
through their ears and noses
and often had strange spiky
brightly coloured hairstyles.
The Sex Pistols were one of
the most famous rock groups
of the 1970s.
Ravers
Ravers were young people in the 1980s and
1990s who enjoyed going to illegal night parties
in large empty buildings. They could dance all
night to the fast beat of acid or techno music. It
was very loud electronic music which was
accompanied by strange lighting effects. Ravers
wore casual clothes: loose T-shirts and jeans.
