Revolution

When faced with the concept of nuclear annihilation the youth were unable to accept a meaningless world and instead reached for meaning where ever they could find it, all whilst rejecting the Western ideals they were raised with, such as Christianity and capitalism.

So apparently there weren't too many ugly hippies... :) Anyway, a few arrogant assholes, but for the most part it was fun (especially the giggly/silly parts). Of course it's all a bit one-sided, and you do have to wonder what these epochal thinkers were up to 10 (or 20) years down the road...but as a snapshot of that moment in time, I think it manages to get the flavor of it across pretty well (and fortunately--though he was pictured a few times--we never did have to listen to Allen Ginsberg).
