Actually hippies started in early 1960s in on haight-ashbury. While it grew out of thr beatnik movement it is distinct from beatniks and earlier groups that may have influenced it.

@freemo @TruthSandwich @sdgathman @ambihelical @mandlebro @georgetakei Now Beatniks I have never quite understood. They meant "Beat" in the sense of defeated, but why? Right after WW2 was a pretty lucky time to grow up, aside from there still being a draft. I read "On the Road" and those people were a bunch of bums and thieves taking advantage of what was still a pretty high-trust civilization back then.
From what I've read the Bauhaus artists were hippie-like, long hair, ragged clothes and all
