Youth International Party (YIP)
, whose members were commonly called
Yippies
, was an American youth-oriented
radical
and
countercultural
revolutionary
offshoot of the
free speech
and
anti-war movements
of the late 1960s. It was founded on December 31, 1967.
They employed theatrical gestures to mock the social
status quo
, such as advancing a pig ("
Pigasus the Immortal
") as a candidate for
president of the United States
in 1968.
They have been described as a highly theatrical,
anti-authoritarian
and anarchist youth movement of "symbolic politics".
