freakout

freakout
n
a bout or scene of wild abandon, self-expression or loss of control. Originally, in hippy terminology, it was the result of ingesting hallucinogenic drugs, but later came to refer to any simulation of their effects.
► 'These guys that come up and say: "Wouldn't It be a mind-blower If we got 6,000 million kids in red uniforms and had a big freak-out in the middle of Ealing Common".' (Pete Townshend of The Who, inter-viewed in Oz magazine, June 1969)
