Flower power was a Slogan used by Hippie s in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a symbol of the Non-violence Ideology . The term is said to have been coined by the US Poet Allen Ginsberg in 1965 . It has since been used in many places when referring the sixties, including countless films, TV programs and documentaries, and the installer for Israel's chat program ICQ . The "meeting place" for the Flower Power movement was based in Amsterdam , the Netherlands in a club called Paradiso . The hippies chose this club because of the name paradiso. It reminded them of a peaceful place, paradise. Artists such as Yoko Ono have since been performing there on occasional visits. Nowadays it is found next to a Hard Rock Cafe and is a center of music for all groups of people, including followers of movements such as the Rastafari Movement . Flower Power also included actions by teenagers, such as giving flowers to policemen and putting flowers inside guns and revolvers, as a sign of peace and not war. |
