In 1969 at Woodstock, near New York a great rock festival attracted nearly half a million young people. Most of them were hippies, who shocked the world with their beards, long hair, old jeans and their calls for peace and love. They came to listen to such new stars as Jimmy Hendrix and Joe Cocker. They sang about the war in Vietnam and about violence in the world. The music performed at Woodstock had a tremendous influence on the development of the culture of the youth. The young people rose in protest against the mercantile society. The ideals of the hippies are still living in many hearts. In the middle of the 1990s the Woodstock festivals were revived. The mid-1970s witnessed great changes in the music. The music became violent and aggressive. Hard rock, heavy metal and punk became popular among the young. Such groups as «Nazareth», «AC/DC», «Kiss», «Black Sabbath» shocked the public by their music and behaviour. Melodies were simple and often unoriginal. Young people would not listen alone to their favourite bands; they would rather have a get-together or a party or go to a club.
