Were the hippies a generation or a sub-group? And haven't there been hippies in each generation? Not sure it all makes sense m8. You might be best starting over.
I believe the first hippies were from the Baby Boomer generation. Not sure what the Gen X equivalent is, but the Millennial version is the hipster, I think.
The rockers were not representative. They were very much a motorbike based, mostly working class sub culture. Even the name rocker comes from motorbike engines.
At the time most young men would not have owned a motorbike and have gone out for the evening (probably on public transport) having had a shave when they got back from work and wearing a suit and tie. That is what would have been representative for the time.

Just correcting your spelling. The impact of your message is lost if all people can think about is that you lack spelling ability.

Yeah sure but when you say "some" [insert group] it doesn't get as many clicks

As an Xennial, I am unsure of the distinctions.

Approx 5% of the youth of each generation conforms to the hackneyed media portrayal, be it hippies, mods and rockers, New Romantics, punks etc etc.
Meanwhile the rest of us are exactly the same, from each generation to the next.
Basically, if male, a combination of Adrian Mole and Simon from Inbetweeners.
