hippie

Member of a youth movement of the late 1960s, also known as flower power, which originated in San Francisco, California, and was characterized by nonviolent anarchy, concern for the environment, and rejection of Western materialism. The hippies formed a politically outspoken, anti-war, artistically prolific counterculture in North America and Europe. Their colourful psychedelic style, inspired by drugs such as LSD, emerged in fashion, graphic art, and music by bands such as Love (1965–71), the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane (1965–74), and Pink Floyd.

Indeed, romanticization of all kinds gets up his nose, be it the platitudes of feel-good psychology, hippiedom, Beuysian hocus-pocus, or the bloviating authors of Great Books.
And in the restless patchouli-scented epicentre of swinging London, flower power and hippiedom that King's Road became, the shop sold Breuer's Bauhaus chairs in tubular steel, Castiglioni's curving Arco lamp designed for Flos, and Le Corbusier's Grand Confort.
