This is Joe Cocker at Woodstock in Tie dye is most popular when people feel powerless to affect important aspects of their lives; like when the people in charge put their interests above the interests of the people they supposedly serve. During the s the people in charge of the US sent an ever increasing number of young Americans to fight and die in their futile proxy cold war in Vietnam.
When young Americans finally objected and protested loudly, they were literally shot down, so they continued to protest silently with tie dye. Bandhani textiles are produced by plucking fabric into tight, tiny knots before dipping it into dye vats, a method that produces exceptionally delicate and complicated patterns.
Other, widely varied techniques of tie-dyeing were developed in Southeast Asia, South America, West Africa, and elsewhere. Historically, tie-dyers used natural colors sourced from organic material, such as the leaves of the indigo plant or the roots of the rose madder.
Fixing natural dyes required mordants, chemical binders that helped adhere the dyes to fiber or fabric. Mordants could be made from alum potassium aluminum sulfate , salts of iron, copper, or tin, or certain tannic acids, such as those found in oak gall, tea, or sumac bark.

Pellew also praised examples of tie-dyes made with modern, Western materials and designs. The term gobolink was likely borrowed from the title of a popular inkblot game , in which players made symmetrical inkblots not unlike those used by Rorschach for his psychological tests and then created amusing rhymes based on the resulting patterns.
But gobolink was also used to denote anything uncanny, odd, or seemingly magical—as well as things considered foreign or other. The truth is dyeing clothing, curtains, upholstery fabrics, and other pieces of decor at home was already a longstanding American tradition and one that allowed budget-conscious homemakers to refresh their surroundings without spending money on new items. One of the most important factors in selecting dyes was their ease of use: the fewer steps and less complicated chemistry required, the better.
