The music that has shaped the counterculture revolution of 1960

The counterculture of the 1960 Revolution is one of the most important steps of Western cultural development in the 20 Century. By wire from his birth to 'height-the Vietnam War, the music was a major source of driving force to contribute to the success that has helped create, but also about some of the groundwork for his undoing.

With a focus around the U.S. and the UK, influenza has spread tothroughout the Western world and beyond, but where it all began is difficult to say. However, the most important ingredient in its development was the rapid growth of distrust the established order of things, especially senators, congressmen and presidents, who pulled the strings. The increased tension of the Cold War, fear of the bomb, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, racial segregation and voting rights, persecution of communists and the communist Cubanpolice brutality, the Vietnam War and the growing use of psychedelic drugs are all united in the '70s and early '60s, around the fire for the countercultural movement of the fuel.

Music was the focus of everything that has been the movement of folk musicians like Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Dave Van Ronk to secure the release of the LED "Revolution 1" by the Beatles' White Album. The music of the children of the counterculture revolution of new sources of inspiration and a center core of their dissatisfactionwith the existing order of things.

In addition to songs and bands that talked about the protest in one way or another, there were also those who talked about freedom in general, has pushed the outer limits of the Rules of the Convention. The Velvet Underground lyrics, for example, references to transgender, homosexuality and drug use in a way that had never seen, while groups like the Beach Boys are cited as a strong supporter of peace, love and understanding.

One ofgreatest things that has to develop from the counterculture of the '70s and early '60s, the great feast of music. festivals have been established in the early sixties - electric guitar Bob Dylan at the Newport Festival 1965 Fold established at legendary status, for example - but it was not until the Monterey Pop Festival, Jimi Hendrix on the big stage in Launched, Island of White Festival and Woodstock, that the idea really going on. The fact that this type of festivalso prevalent in recent years is a testament to the musical legacy of the '60s.

The movement of the counterculture to a halt around '73 and '74 with the end of the Vietnam War, the resignation of President Nixon and the implosion, corruption and exploitation era of free love. Whether it ended with the removal of things to protest the expulsion from psychedelic drugs such as the hit of election or revocation of the franchise with excessive hedonism that these parts of the typedMovement is difficult to say with certainty, but I feel the impact of all that occurred during this period or today, even the music that helped to produce and that has helped create. Civil rights were universal, new forms of expression are now acceptable, the wars were over, and the music was made.
