The jipitecas (sometimes called "xipitecas") were the
Mexicanhippies of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The term was coined by scholar
Enrique Marroquin in the late 1960s and used widely in the media afterwards. Other terms for referring Mexican hippies were "macizos" and "onderos", since they were part of the broader
counterculture movement known as "
La Onda" (The Wave).[1][2][3][4]
