Hippies are used to depict young people in Western countries who rebelled against customs and politics in the 1960s and 1970s. The name "hippie" was popularized by Heber Cain, a journalist from the San Francisco Chronicle. Hippies are not a cultural movement, they have no manifesto or leadership figures. Hippies reflect their opposition to nationalism and the Vietnam War through communal and nomadic lifestyles, advocating non-traditional religious culture and criticizing the values of the middle class in Western countries.
