Woodstock 69'

">

Woodstock was probably one of the biggest sub-culture music festivals in history, billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music", it was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969.





Woodstock was the era of the so-called "hippie". The "hippie" subculture was originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the early 1960s and spread around the world. The word hippie derives from "hipster", and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. These people inherited the counter cultural values of the Beat Generation, created their own communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.
Woodstock 1969 was basically a 3 day period of people united as one listening to psychedelic rock, ingesting several psychedelic drugs such as marijuana and LSD (hallucinogens), and taking sex to a whole new level. Nothing really phased any of these people who were apart of this Piece Revolution that took place during a horrific time of war for the U.S.
