right-on

Hippie-era agreement

Right-on is an exclamation of enthusiastic approval or agreement, popular in 1960s and 70s counterculture: Right on, brother!

As an adjective, it describes something fashionably progressive or politically correct, sometimes dismissively: right-on liberals, right-on attitudes about diversity.

The term now sounds dated, often used ironically.
