Do We Have a Counterculture?

To a question currently circulating on social media: What item from the 1970s should be brought back? an old friend answered: a counterculture.

I found that quite thought-provoking.  Don’t we have a counterculture today?

It’s possible that we have one, but it doesn’t look like it did 50 years ago?

Speaking for myself, the ultimate victory of progressive values in today’s world is all we require.  I don’t need long-haired freaky people; I need whatever Bernie Sanders (to pick a progressive at random) and everything that he stands for in terms of environmental stewardship, social equity, quality education and healthcare for all, a solid attempt at world peace, human rights, a single-tiered justice system, etc.
