What a niece play of words. But I think that the #counterculture indeed countered culture, just not in the sense (or extent) you seem to deem necessary. The invention in music, social gatherings, the introduction of colours in fashion – remember all the grey-suited organisation-men of the 1950s? – the turn to "alternative healing practices" etc. have all been a renunciation of highbrow culture. On the other hand, the revitalisation of land and Nature came along with an intensive interaction, study – and expoloitation, I'd say – of indigenous cultures, in the Americas predominantely with the Hopi nation and the struggles for Indigenous rights, then with the study of Shamanism and "native religions" in Eastern Europe (in the 1990s) and earlier in Asia. That historically an understanding of Nature as vivid and vitalised did not (and does not) prevent various Indigenous communities from exploiting and destroying habitats – the Maori in New Zealand are a famous example – is something that often escaped the attention of such idealisations.
