Summary/Abstract: The aim of my paper is to present the role and the meaning of the hippies in contemporary social imaginaries via some examples taken from mainstream movies and television series created after 2010. Based on the methodology of social representations five main thematic areas of the hippie imaginary are presented following the hypothesis that after the seventies the counterculture turned into an element of capitalist consumerism. The article concludes on a short analysis of the hippie motifs from the Mad Men series.
