Bridging the Generation Gap Between Teens in the '60s and Teens in the '90sThroughout history many generations have been named after something that describes them in every way. The decade from 1960 to 1970 is definitely one of those eras and it became known as the Counter Culture Era (The Hippie Generation). It was known as the Counter Culture Era because the young people involved in it rejected the old-fashioned American values and lifestyles. The youth was no longer satisfied with being replicas of the generation that preceded them. Instead, young people longed for change. The changes affected lifestyles, values, laws, education, and entertainment. The dream of love, peace, happiness, and freedom was what many young Americans longed for. Although a few of the Counter Culture's ideas still live on today, the '90s teen generation has adopted what the hippies started and evolved their ideas to match their needs.

The way Hippies dressed was a distinctive characteristic of how they rejected traditional lifestyles. In those times it was the thing to do, and with the newly added birth control pill, there was hardly any worry of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and babies. With this new found freedom, women and men were able to enjoy each others company and not have to worry about the risks of child birth as well as the spread of diseases. Many Hippies considered Dylan as a spokesman for their beliefs. Unlike the hippie generation, who only had access to the birth control pill, the '90s generation has access to tons of contraceptives for the prevention of childbirth and the spread of diseases. Hippies were notorious for there out of the ordinary music. One of the most influential musicians of the time was Bob Dylan.
