Death to hippies (1967)

October 6
Things that happened on this day that you never had to memorize in school

1967: Haight-Ashbury hippies throw funeral to mark the end of hippies. Death of Hippie, Loyal Son of Media, birth of free man. A few actually still survive, but most remaining hippies today are hatchery-bred by commercial hippie farmers, and the genetic diversity ensured by the truly wild hippie is in danger of being lost due to excessive logging and commercial marketing.
