The "Beatnik" era of the 1950's led or rather evolved into the "Hippie Movement" of the next decade.

"On the Road" by Jack Kerouac inspired a whole young generation of Americans that were born during the Second World War that were young adults by the mid to late 1950s. Add of course as others have mentioned to the Civil strife and an unpopular war being led by the Americans in Vietnam and then you have a "cause de jour" as well.
