This extract discusses the origins of the term "flower child" rather than a U2 song. The phrase was created in 1967 by a California radio personality and subsequently adopted by a rock band to describe young people aged 15-30 involved in the hippie counterculture. The movement emphasized peace, love, and universal connection, with adherents distributing flowers as symbolic gestures. The concept became linked to the broader flower power political movement.
