I am not so sure everyone's memory is that accurate of what they were doing in the late 60s.
As for the conformity of non-conformists, I remember a brilliant MAD magazine cartoon about the three groups... conformists, non-conformists and the MAD. The conformists carried placards reading "In sameness there is strength". Non-conformists carried placards reading "We're all different together".
In 1968 I saw Frank Zappa at The Albert Hall in London. At one point a 60 year old uniformed attendant came onto the stage for something and was greeted by a chorus of whistling and a chant of "Uniforms off the stage". Zappa walked over to a mike and after commenting of the sheepish nature of people who wear uniforms and conform to societal norms, gaining a large round of applause, asked who was wearing jeans... cheer, who was wearing a T-shirt... CHEER. A moments pause and then he asked "so who's wearing a uniform then, him or you?"
