What Killed The Hippie Dream?

The hippie dream didn’t disappear in a single moment. It didn’t end at Woodstock, and it didn’t collapse because people suddenly stopped believing in love, peace, or art. According to the people who actually lived inside Laurel Canyon, it faded when the culture around music changed — when money accelerated everything, when trust eroded, and when a faster, harder party lifestyle took hold. In Laurel Canyon: Inside the Story of Rock-and-Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood, Michael Walker documents this transformation not as a morality tale, but as a social one. What began as a loose, trusting creative village became an industry-driven pressure cooker, and once that happened, nothing felt the same.
