Counterculture

The American Counterculture refers to the period between 1964-1972 when the norms of the 1950s were largely rejected by youth.

The counterculture of the 1960s gave rise to new forms of media such as underground newspapers, literature, theater, and cinema. 

Forms of art and music in the 1960s, ranging from rock and roll to psychedelic art, reflected the characteristics of the counterculture movement.

Youth culture during the 1960s counterculture was characterized by the Summer of Love and the casual use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs.
