Drugs had a big influence on the music in the 60s and of course of the Hippies. The music in 1965 was charctarized by unusual sounds. The drugs were a kind of protest against the conservative and stiff society. They wanted to enlarge their sensory perception; they wanted to create their own personality and they wanted to free their sexual relationships. Drugs were very important for the hippies and they formed a part of their normal lives. But many of them ignored the side effects and died. Janis Joplin, for example, who took a lot of drugs and alcohol during her performances on stage, had many feelings of weakness and died some days later.
But drugs are not the only bad side of the Hippies. I said that Hippies lived in communes and they had no steady partner. The probability to get aids was very high, because they ofen had sex without condoms. And so many Hippies died or were infected by the virus.
In 1967 the Hippie movement was at its peak. The term “summer of love” tries to describe the awareness of life, which was in San Francisco. An example is the song “San Fransicso”, which was sung by Scott McKenzie. Thousands of people streamed from the USA to the disrict Haight-Astsbury in San Francisco, because they wanted to be a part of the Hippie movement. The town was very popular with the Hippies, because of itsmulticultural atmospere and became an emblem of the Hippies.
The original Hippies bore in 1967 their culture to its grave, because they did not want a mass culture . But today we often see some human beings on the streets who look like a Hippie and some big festivals exist in our time, like the ‘Burg Harzberg Festival’. This festival in the biggest in Europe. And so we can see that some people try to live like aHippies, to do crazy things but it isn’t easy .
