HOOK-UP CULTURE IN THE UNITED STATES
The sexual revolution had shed a new light to society in the 1960s. Attitudes changed; people accepted new ideas about sexuality. They were more open and more practical toward sexual practices. I think hook-up culture inherited from that movement and had been happening for a long time. Today, people don’t discuss that in public; however, there’s still a hook-up culture taking place in the society, but in a new way which involves in technology and social media.

Interesting topic, I've just corrected to make it sound more natural. Some explanations below :)
HOOK-UP CULTURE IN THE UNITED STATES
The sexual revolution *had shed a new light* (replace with: brought big changes) to society in the 1960s. Attitudes changed, and people accepted new ideas about sexuality. They became more open and -(don't need to say 'more' twice)- practical toward sexual practices. I think hook-up culture has been happening for a long time, and is inherited from that movement. Today, people don’t discuss it in public; but society still has a hook-up culture, but with new approaches involving technology and social media.*shed new light: this idiom doesn't quite work in this context. 'Shed light on' implies that we already know something, but we need to see something else to confirm it. I've given some examples, but in the case of the sexual revolution, it's new to society so doesn't give us more information about something we already know.
e.g.
1. 'Finding the gun at the crime scene shed new light on Mr.Grayson's location at the time of the murder.'
2. 'The collection of antique tables in his home shed new light on why Steve was spending so much time at the antique store.'
