The counterculture of the 1970s was focused on breaking down traditional pillars, and stressing nonconformity. In many cases those involved in the counterculture were young people under thirty. They marched and pushed for civil rights, rejecting the previously established racial separation many of their parents had believed in. They overwhelmingly opposed the Vietnam War, and believed the country was coming close to nuclear annihilation. Anti-materialism, sexual freedom, women's and gay rights were all part of the counterculture.

The 1970s saw the birth of Master Charge, which became MasterCard.

Besides the war and the draft, the American counterculture or the 1960s condemned racial discrimination and "The Man" (the power of government and those who supported it) and traditional 'uptight' American values. One of the mantras of the 60s counterculture that survives today, and I still live by is, "question everything".
the era's counterculture.
Actually no, there is no counterculture today. True countercultures died out in the 1970s however I think the grunge movement of the 90s can be considered a counterculture. Today everything for the most part is mainstream in some way and people who think they are rebelling are actually fitting in with a crowd. There is no true political, sociological, or psychological movement that goes against mainstream norms. We'll never have hippies or beatniks again because it would/ already has become trendy and accepted in mainstream society.
I'm pretty sure it's in Rush Hour 3, but I don't think it "came" from there; I suspect it originated in the 1960s or 1970s in the black or counterculture communities.
