Counterculture may or may not be explicitly political. It typically involves criticism or rejection of currently powerful institutions, with accompanying hope for a better life or a new society.
In the United States, the movement divided the population. To some Americans, these attributes reflected American ideals of free speach, equality, world peace, and the pursuit of happiness
