Rolling Stone was initially identified with and reported on the hippie counterculture of the era. However, the magazine distanced itself from the underground newspapers of the time, such as ''Crawdaddy!,'' embracing more traditional journalistic standards and avoiding the radical politics of the underground press.

This has become the de-facto motto of the magazine.</blockquote>
