| quote = "The '60s were a leap in human consciousness. Mahatma Gandhi, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Che Guevara, they led a revolution of conscience. The Beatles, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix created revolution and evolution themes. The music was like Dalí, with many colors and revolutionary ways. The youth of today must go there to find themselves."

It has been suggested that 1960s and 1970s counterculture embraced certain types of "[[groovy]]" science and technology.

Distinct appearance and clothing was one of the immediate legacies of hippies worldwide.<ref name="Pendergast">Pendergast, Sara. (2004) ''Fashion, Costume, and Culture''. Volume 5.

Since that time, a wide range of personal appearance options and clothing styles, including nudity, have become more widely acceptable, all of which was uncommon before the hippie era.<ref name="Connikie"/><ref>Pendergast, Sara.

Additionally, hippie fashion itself has been commonplace in the years since the 1960s in clothing and accessories, particularly the [[peace symbol]].<ref>[http://www.chron.com/life/article/Peace-sign-makes-a-statement-in-the-fashion-world-1773516.php Sewing, Joy]; ''[[Houston Chronicle]]''; January 24, 2008; "Peace sign makes a statement in the fashion world".
