And another thing...

You'll notice that Super-Hip is more the Austin Powers type-- '64 Beatle haircut, tight pants, Edwardian frilly shirt-- than the grimy, half-naked, love-beaded type often associated with sixties youth culture. There seems to have been a definite evolution in the image as time and the Vietnam war went on. (And of course much of the culture we associate with The Sixties was more early Seventies.) The decision in "Austin Powers" to go with the earlier icon was clever, since most people hadn't seen much of it in a while.
