Na década de 60 nos Estados Unidos, uma nova forma de manifestar surgiu através de jovens estudantes de classe média, a contracultura inova com a temática \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\”paz e amor\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\”.
O período pós-guerra, vivido por uma corrida armamentista, lutas de classe raciais e obediência a tecnocracia, formava seres sem criatividade, em meio a este contexto alguns jovens resolveram \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\”drop- out\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\” ( cair fora) e buscar uma nova cultura.
Seus ideais de anti-consumismo e racismo, totalmente contra a violência e conflitos,a preservação da natureza, a busca da paz, jovens libertários, que apesar de não concordarem com a mídia, esta contribui para a expansão da contracultura.
O movimento chegou ao Brasil na época da ditadura, chamava-se Tropicália e contava com Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil.O vestuário, as atitudes tudo foi modificado, as pessoas passaram a usar cabelos longos e encaracolados e roupas coloridas, mas reprimidos pelos militares o movimento durou pouco tempo.
Com o tempo a contracultura perdeu a força, no Brasil ainda se tem o festival Lollapalooza onde os jovens podem fazer tudo o que quiserem, como usar drogas, usarem qualquer tipo de roupa e manter relações com qualquer pessoa.Mas não há um objetivo real do festival, não há mais jovens biopolíticos, preocupados com a situação da sociedade e o que suas ações podem influenciar outras gerações.
