Differences in Trends

You old hippies are bonded by the love generation of the 60's and I doubt there will ever be anything like that again. Being an Old Hippie is nothing like being a young Gothic kid is it? The only thing that's the same is how music created what you became and keeps you in the groove but what are the differences in the statements to be made? You old hippies stood up for your thoughts and even protested on the political end of it all but the Gothic scene doesn't seem to care which way things swing. It will fade out like the wind someday but will there be a forum for old Gothics to log onto in about 40 years? I doubt it. Maybe some of you Old Hippies can enlighten me. I never was much of a Hippie myself, to be honest with you but we had them from every walk of life here in my neck of the world. The 60's was a crazy time. I'm glad you folks are keeping the living breath of the Hippies alive.
There's alot of good karma from that thought.

Peace

"Hippie" originated back in the 60's among trendy young people in such places as San Francisco, New York, London. They were observed to walk in a certain way, the "hipsters", probably due to walking around half stoned. :)

Although, generally put in the same category as the "Flower children", children of the "Summer of Love 1967", "Woodstock 1969", there were a lot of ramifications among the movements and train of thought that evolved during that tumultous era.

Thus, for example, a guy who smoked weed, took acid among the "peace and love" flower children in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, might have ended up joining the Hell's Angels.
