Abstract
The 70s of the 20th century became crisis for the American counterculture, in the form in which it existed in the previous two decades. The crisis had a systemic nature and this was due to a number of factors. In accordance with the directions of the counterculture, the reasons for its decline can also be classified into cultural, social and political ones. The cultural component was the commercialization of countercultural art, style and music. The social factors of decline include: the failure of the experiment “commune” lifestyle, the massive extension of the hippie movement, the deviant behavior of the carriers of the subculture (alcoholism, drug addiction), the change of generations. Political factors of the decline of countercultural tendencies: the blurring of the ideology of the “new left”, which criticized the existing order, without offering solutions to problems, the lack of a clear organizational structure, and the terrorist and criminal nature of some radical movements of the “new left”. The withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam and the economic recession of the 70s of the 20th century also had an impact on the counterculture.
