The word “counterculture” was coined in the 1960s for the attitudes and life styles of many young people who rejected conventional social values and demanded more personal freedom.

These young people were opposed to the Vietnam War and dissatisfied with the existing state of affairs in their society.

The counterculture declined in the late 1970s.
