When a charismatic former alcoholic named Shaft had his life changed by Burning Man, he realized that he actually identifies as a unicorn. No longer able to face the monotony of work and life in the real world, he decided to form a polyamorous and hedonistic movement with other like-minded unicorns.
Donning glittery horns and galloping through London’s streets, Shaft’s unicorns set about trying to create a free-love utopia.
But as the unicorn revolution begins to clash with the realities of life and love, some of the “glampede” became disillusioned, and Shaft’s reasons for starting this whole thing came into question.
Is this the hedonistic, free love revolution we were promised in the 60s? Or is it as fake as the unicorn horns they wear, a desperate and clever ploy by Shaft to escape his own inner loneliness by starting a cult?

“I’m not happy with reality at all, because it’s $hit.” You better get right with reality because it will crash your party big time when you get older. We’re all subject to aging, sickness and death. As a monk once said: Let go of life before it lets go of you.
Are people here also into Tantric massage?
The lengths guys will go to get a threesome with two women LMAO
All I can think about is death
Whoever calls themselves fabulous is completely the opposite to that.
Hedonism, old religion, new time and form.
He likes to have multiple partners but doesn’t like the women he’s with to have other partners. Seems like such a douche.
That Wizard needs to be ruined.
Do unicorns have omicron or unicorn STDs?
and people wonder why the alt right is on the rise
the key to his personality can be seen at 22 Min in… his healing would lie in contributing to the social or economic community instead of being a egocentric prick. Very nice charakter study. Been bindging a lot of docus lately… Thanks for the great work!
Satanic
I really hate satan
Bunch of depressed druggies with daddy issues
Wow ok.
It just seems like a group where anything goes, including your personal and genuine boundaries.
I don't know man. It looks more miserable
Bruh, wizard….
Why the hell did I become an engineer, should have been a unicorn!
this is why you need friends and family by your side,if not you will end up lonley like them…
Bunch of weirdos
Im really curious what the technique was that the wizard woman was using when guiding him? Looked like she was spinning a chain or pendulum around and based on the clicks, assessing his age experiences.
Anyone know?
Their love doesn't seem that genuine…
what's the end game for these unicorn enthusiasts. Still being in the unicorn outfits and persona at 73 years old? what's the end phase or objective? Does it end and then they just wear chino trousers and denim jackets? Yes, that is what happens isn't it?
Whatever
I love the fact that unicorns can make him feel good and happy. I've also discovered the magic of unicorns after years of living for others and feeling unsatisfied on the earth plane/energy, I think a dose of the divine is essential! Why can kids love unicorns but it's wrong for adults-hence the death of the inner child. I think if you can care for yourself, stay happy and be kind, don't listen to the naysayers. He seems to have an open upper chakras and needs to be more comfortable with the lower chakra energies so he can access all of them, hence well rounded. He also may need to connect with his ancestors, but ultimately, it's his life to choose how he wants to live it. Love and light!!!
Being a unicorn SOUNDS nice, but being free and healing from past trauma is the ultimate Nirvana.
oh gosh… poor guy…
Tell me you do drugs without telling me you do drugs
dude dont burn DMT.. what a noob, needs to be vaporized
Wth
Is this movement still going on today?
This guy is a genius, he’s basically the leader of a fun cult which makes him money and let’s him have sex with lots of beautiful women.
Narssasitic leader, lost souls, feeling of euphoria and deep sadness
“I’m a massive drug addict”
Ya don’t say
brb gotta delete my history
These people are literally spiritually lost
Sad and hard to watch.
this is one of the most inspiring videos i've ever seen
wait what ? isnt this guy in another vids ???
Hey um Glamour Corn, do you have any reverse hexes? I'm being stalked by an invisible disembodied erection.
Lmao! "I had a dream about her, then I had another dream about her, then we has intercourse!"
Epic.
Sodom and Gamora coming on strong….Gooooooood luck.
All about escape and loneliness. But I just don't get the unicorn aspect.
Damn that was deep. Be what you are. You aren't a unicorn.
Ok this is really weird but I had a dream about that exact holding hands circle and people were unicorns. No lie
What's Glamour-Corn up to now?
LOL, this stuff destroys societies. Sure it's fun, but your city will turn to trash.
This guy is now a relationship coach lmao
Gigacringe
I'm throwing the unicorn onesie in the he trash now that I Know what it means
I love poly girls, they are the best, I would love to have a poly girlfriend.
They didn't get tô know Brazilian carnival yet…we would blow their minds
Damn a bangladeshi yo fellow me bengali toooo.
If this aint the sorryest life style
He's like so gay and so straight all at the same time… Enigma wrapped in enigma.
When i watched this first 5 years ago , i didn't in my wildest dreams think thay these people will be coming after kids soon.
My guy needs to hit that DMT, seems like everything else he’s taken has failed him in his search for self discovery
polyamorous is not the same thing as non-monogamous. Enormous difference.
2:20 this guy died 2021, RIP MILES
I think what may be missing is the elder "unicorns". So many have already been (hopefully lived through) the true exploration of ourselves and the wide world and have wisdom. I was blessed to have kids and now grandkids to share with. I think they're all wonderfully bright lights trying to live their truth.
That's, probably, not the end of the story…. That dude made a lot of progress, but "magic" is just another way to hope for something else to do the job in your stead.
Just like drugs, just like denial, just like hedonism,…. And just like therapy.
Most of the time, people go to therapy, because they want it to solve their problems for them. That's setting yourself up for failure. Therapy is there to teach tools to solve problems… But YOU have to do the solving. (and the therapist is not there to tell you what the problems are, they're here to help YOU figure them out)
Magic is just another of those easier route that people hope will lead them to healing without the struggle and hardship that comes with the process of it. Magic wand on your chakras and poof
That's crap. There's no chakra, no inner light, no spiritual energy, no chi imbalance, nor spells and curses. If those help you, because you're having fun and they help you relax, GO FOR IT, but they're just here to assist you in the process. Don't let it misguide you and give you a sense of healing while doing it. They're a hobby.
what in the actual hell
The West is devolving.
Four words: NOPE! TOO MANY PEOPLE!
All I see is people constantly trying to escape from the brutality of life.
This man has gone to extreme lengths just to have a threesome, gotta respect the game.
I bet the other dude his unicorn girlfriend is fucking is a total dudebro Chad.
Not even one bug over there! Feels like I have what offsprings of 2 of everything in here.
You can literally turn anything into a trend I mean for real.
Does anyone know how Shaft is doing now? I really hope they're doing okay
that is the pretty part of hedonism, there is torture hedonism, murder hedonism etc.
These people seem deeply broken. Don't do drugs.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a documentary on him being a cult leader soon but I hope not and I hope u know its just fluffy unicorn stuff
So, it turns out living a life of constant self absorption and fantasy isn't very good for you…
Satan, get thee behind me!
This cannot be real
everyone is young and their life hasn't blown up yet
The Spectrum of Modern Counterculture
Modern counterculture encompasses a broad and diverse array of movements and ideologies that challenge mainstream societal norms and values. At its core, counterculture represents a departure from conventional practices, embracing alternative approaches to spirituality, art, lifestyle, and social activism.
In the realm of spirituality and religion, modern witchcraft and paganism stand out as significant countercultural movements. These practices often involve eclectic and nature-centered beliefs that emphasize personal empowerment and reject mainstream religious doctrines. Similarly, New Age spirituality explores holistic healing and metaphysical practices, drawing from various traditions to create personalized spiritual paths. Religious pluralism and syncretism further illustrate this diversity, blending elements from different faiths to offer inclusive and innovative spiritual experiences.
Artistic and cultural expression is another vital aspect of counterculture. Avant-garde art and music push the boundaries of conventional aesthetics, embracing experimental techniques and new media. Movements like punk, goth, and electronic music defy mainstream tastes, creating spaces where alternative lifestyles and creative expressions can flourish. These artistic forms not only challenge traditional norms but also foster communities that celebrate innovation and nonconformity.
Social and political activism plays a crucial role in modern counterculture, addressing issues such as environmental sustainability and social justice. Environmental movements advocate for conservation and climate action, challenging industrial practices that contribute to ecological harm. Social justice activism focuses on achieving equality and addressing systemic injustices related to race, gender, and economic status, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and systemic change.
Lifestyle and community practices within counterculture often prioritize alternative living arrangements and anti-consumerist values. Intentional communities and co-housing arrangements emphasize shared resources and collective decision-making, offering alternatives to conventional living. Additionally, minimalism and anti-consumerism advocate for simplicity and a focus on experiences over material possessions, countering the pervasive culture of consumerism.
Technological and innovative movements within counterculture also reflect a desire to challenge traditional systems. Digital activism and hacktivism use technology to promote transparency and advocate for social and political causes. Meanwhile, the rise of cryptocurrency and decentralized systems seeks to offer alternatives to traditional financial and governance structures, highlighting a push for greater autonomy and innovation.
Fashion and aesthetics in counterculture are marked by distinctive styles and personal expression. Subcultural fashion trends, such as those from punk, goth, and steampunk, challenge mainstream fashion norms and celebrate individuality. Body art and modification, including tattoos and piercings, further reflect a commitment to personal expression and nonconformity.
Finally, alternative medicine and health practices within counterculture emphasize holistic and complementary approaches. Practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and yoga offer alternatives to conventional medical treatments, focusing on the integration of mind, body, and spirit in health and wellness.
Overall, modern counterculture is characterized by its commitment to nonconformity, innovation, and personal empowerment. It spans a wide spectrum of practices and ideologies, each challenging conventional norms and offering new ways of thinking, living, and creating. Through its diverse expressions, counterculture continues to push the boundaries of mainstream society, fostering environments where alternative values and practices can thrive.
Counterculture can indeed be seen as a method through which humanity explores and expands the range of human expression beyond conventional norms and mainstream practices. CREATIVEITY
