Deriving from the psychedelic era of the 1970's hippie, the age of ecstasy and MDMA brought people together. They followed the P.L.U.R way of life, repressing peace, love, unity and respect. This led to the creation of the 'Summer of Love' period.
The consequences of the Vietnam War brought people together, and particularly the hippies who would protest "Make Love Not War". This is relevant for showing how during the bad times these subcultures force their way though, to fight for everything to go back to normal.
Margaret Thatcher brought in the criminal justice bill to cut down the number of illegal raves in the U.K during the '80s. Unfortunately for her and the police forces, this only made people want to party harder, just in secret. They fought for they're right to a good time, just as the Hippies fought for peace during the Vietnam War.
