Most usually refers to:
1. The summer of love in San Francisco in 1967, when over 100 000 people converged on the Haight- Ashbury neighbourhood to create a phenomenon of cultural and political revolution. During this time it became the epicenter of the hippie revolution... consisting of free love, psychoactive drugs, sexual freedom, music and free expression. Often considered a social experiment because of the newly emerging lifestyle trends. The term 'psychedelic' is best used to describe the associated atmosphere.
2. The summers of love in the United Kingdom during 1988-89, which saw the exlosion of the acid house movement and the subsequent rave culture. The free warehouse parties, smiley symbol, and the club drug Ecstasy symbolized this summer of love, which is often described as being more hedonistic and indulgent than it's psychedelic counterpart. Although, this summer was partially ruined by the paranoia of the press, who slammed the movement for its use of the word acid: which did not actually refer to the drug LSD, but rather the style of borrowing lyrics, an act referred to as 'acid burning'. However, the press caught the wrong side of this and described the movement as a satanic cult which encouraged the use of drugs- and because of this the once abundant raves faded into the limelight. The term 'second summer of love' has been used to refer to this time.
3. Although it never caught any significant recognition apart from a newspaper article, the alleged 'third summer of love' apparently took place in 2004 - due to the legal loophole which made unprepared magic mushrooms legal to the public. Coverage on the 'third summer of love' was made at Glastonbury, where the festival was fuelled by amongst other things, magic mushrooms. However, the actuality of this summer of love is under much debate, and is probably a pun on the media's behalf.
4. A romance or relationship which can lasts over any specific summer. Sometimes referred to as a 'summer of love' by the couple in question.

'Some people say the next summer of love will take place in 2009 because of the 21 year gap between the two original summers of love, but I remain doubtful there will ever be a summer of love anytime soon :/'
'We met last summer and have been together ever since. It was our summer of love...'

In addition to the accurate definition below, the reason that these girls are doing it all lies in the fact that they are completely insecure and so desperate to fit in that they create a transparent, fake way to SEEM unique, separate from those around them, and deep to everyone else. If it were real, and genuine, then they wouldn't advertise it so blantantly to EVERYONE around them. The fact that they broadcast this image is, in itself, evidence of this other motive. It's really just another manifestation of the teenage insecurity/struggle to find oneself and make a certain impression.
You know girls, I feel so connected to you all, in this superior, true understanding of existence way. I sure hope everyone else can't see through our projection! This is really the summer of love.

a really obnoxious phrase, often chanted by a group of girls who feel they are superior to everyone else because they now have boyfriends. the phrase symbolizes how they are convinced their summer is better than everyone elses because they have boyfriends. a common place to hear this phrase would be at a pool party where they can be found chattering and showing off their boyfriends.

A slogan of the neohippie movement and gothic hippies. Mean to recreat the summer of love. The summer of love was began in the summer of 1967 when the hippie movement was at it's best with everyone fucking everyone else and having a fucking good time and drugs could be had like all shit that is you could get them anywhere for free. And ended after the 1969 woodstock festival. Such a fucking good time has not been had ever since humans began to walk the earth.

The excitement of finishing a school year and having 3 months off of the best weather to mess around freely. A trip to the lake and you set gaze on someone that completely wrecks whatever else you had going through your mind as eyes match. Intensity squared. By the end of summer the rot sets in and with the reality of another school year starting and things start falling apart. The relationship ends as the rubber meets the road. Inside you're left with memories overflowing into a bottomless pit of despair. Everything comes to an end, but some ends are more painful than others. It's the intensity of summer love that keeps me coming back for more. And the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. This is Summer-Love.
Why does that guy look so devastated?
His Summer-Love just dumped him while he was changing his life to follow her into the eternity which was the depth of their connection.
