Their philosophy was to live in peace by resolving differences among people, ideologies and religion. In order to do that they believed that we should be loving and tolerant. They also believed in accepting others as they are and giving people freedom yo express themselves. Lastly, they proposed that we should not judge others based on their appearance.

Hippies listened to bands and artists such as the Swinging Blue Jeans, Beatniks and The Beatles.
