===1973–present: Absorption into the mainstream and new developments=== Much of hippie style had been integrated into mainstream American society by the early 1970s.<ref name="Tompkins_2001a">{{harvnb|Tompkins|2001a}}.</ref><ref name="Morford">{{Citation | last = Morford | first = Mark | author-link = Mark Morford | title = The Hippies Were right! | publisher = [[SF Gate]] | date = May 2, 2007 | url = http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2007/05/02/notes050207.DTL | access-date = 2007-05-25 }}</ref> Large rock concerts that originated with the 1967 KFRC [[Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival]] and [[Monterey Pop Festival]] and the British [[Isle of Wight Festival]] in 1968 became the norm, evolving into [[Arena rock|stadium rock]] in the process. During the mid-late 1970s, with the [[Fall of Saigon|end]] of the draft and the [[Vietnam War]], a renewal of [[patriotism|patriotic]] sentiment associated with the approach of the [[United States Bicentennial]], the decline in popularity of psychedelic rock, and the emergence of new genres such as [[prog rock]], [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]], [[disco]], and [[punk rock]], the mainstream media lost interest in the hippie counterculture. At the same time there was [[Mod revival|a revival]] of the [[Mod (subculture)|Mod subculture]], [[skinhead]]s, [[Teddy Boy|teddy boys]] and the emergence of new youth cultures, like the [[punk movement|punk]]s, [[goth subculture|goths]] (an arty offshoot of punk), and [[football casuals]]; starting in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Britain, hippies had begun to come under attack by skinheads.<ref>{{Citation | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=iS4hsxKiMNgC&q=Hippie+bashing+by+skinheads&pg=PA188 | title = Encyclopedia of contemporary British culture | isbn = 978-0-415-14726-2 | last1 = Childs | first1 = Peter | last2 = Storry | first2 = Mike | year = 1999 | page=188| publisher = Taylor & Francis }}</ref><ref>{{citation|url=http://www.eelpie.org/epd_19.htm |title=Eel Pie Dharma - Skinheads - Chapter 19 |website=Eelpie.org |date=December 13, 2005 |access-date=2012-11-21}}</ref><ref>{{citation| url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,909318-1,00.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080630050338/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,909318-1,00.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=June 30, 2008 | magazine=Time | title=Britain: The Skinheads | date=June 8, 1970 | access-date=2010-05-04}}</ref> [[File:Tallinn hippie.jpg|thumb|right|A group of hippies in [[Tallinn]], 1989]] [[File:Cornflake & Vivian.jpg|thumb|left|Couple attending Snoqualmie Moondance Festival, August 1993]] Many hippies would adapt and become members of the growing countercultural [[New Age]] movement of the 1970s.{{sfn|Lewis|Melton|1992|p=xi}} While many hippies made a long-term commitment to the lifestyle, some people argue that hippies "sold out" during the 1980s and became part of the materialist, self-centered consumer [[yuppie]] culture.<ref name="Lattin_2004">{{harvnb|Lattin|2004|pp=74}}.</ref><ref name="Heath_Potter_2004">{{harvnb|Heath|Potter|2004}}.</ref> Although not as visible as it once was, hippie culture has never died out completely: hippies and neo-hippies can still be found on college campuses, on communes, and at gatherings and festivals. Many embrace the hippie values of peace, love, and community, and hippies may still be found in [[Bohemianism|bohemian]] enclaves around the world.<ref name="Stone_1994" /> Hippie communes, where members tried to live the ideals of the hippie movement, continued to flourish.
