Every society undergoing dramatic social changes like those in the West after WW2 will experience social groups struggling to adapt to the changes. The counterculture of the 60s and 70s was not just romanticist opposition but also a milieu for middle class dropouts. Many young people for instance failed in long and almost endless processes of education. The counterculture fighting for new ways of living was in fact a mixed culture of romanticist-opposition and failure-to-adapt. In the early 1970s the counterculture faded out and many became absorbed by the 1970s elevation of New Age Spiritualism. The romantic hippie had become spiritual.
This mixture of opposition and drop-out repeated itself within sub-cultures of the spiritual movement of the 1970s: the New Age. So like the counterculture, some New Age groups in my experience became a refuge for marginalised youngsters in the later part of 20 century. Many young people struggling to adapt to society (still the same reasons, long education, competitive pressures, the weakening of the stability of the family) joined the New Age oppositional culture dressed up as spirituality.
