Sure there is haven't you ever heard of a crusty? Well Slappy. I'm not sure how old you are but you sound like a youngin. Granted, I'm only about 35. My parents were back to the land ers. I grew up loving their music. When I hit my teen years I also loved The Sex Pistols, The Dead Kennedy's and Heavy Metal. Then even later came to love Miles Davis, Coltrane, and Mid 70's fusion. You sound to me like you are a continuation of the spirit. From the beginning of society there have been creative, intellectual outlaws, free spirits as such. It is a long standing tradition. The Existentialists, The Transcendentalists, The Beats, The Hippies, The Yippies, The Punks, The Granolas, The Neo Hippies. All extensions of the same bohemian spirit. Stay Brown, Rev J
I can't stand stereotypes man, far as I'm concerned you can be anything you wanna be man, mix an' match it's what makes us beautiful.
i agree totally, and im am and am not young. im actually gonna really be 32 this next month, BUT, i look, and feel like im 21 still. awesome. so fuck it i can get away w/ it, and last year i was 27, this year im 26. can anyone beat that? LOL
Warped demented stupid. The original punks wanted nothing to do with hippie. At all. Punks were all bout the total opposite of hippie. Get a life. How can anyone seriously say that punk and hippie can work together? What are you retarded?
Wow, some are being pretty harsh based only on label. If one can’t find a way of “working together” with true Hipppies, then there really is a problem. As long as one is able to accept and operate by core principles of peace and love, hippie works. Peace=An avoidance of all forms of interpersonal conflict. Tolerance, acceptance and dismissive of any preconceived ideas of what another person is “supposed” to be like. Love=An outgoing concern for the happiness and well being of others. Everything else is just symbols and accessories. The stereotype of “punk” is just another expression of a rejection of societies precepts. However, if one can learn and live by “Peace” and “Love”, there is no reason to reject the persons growth toward Hippie.
original punks were douche bags actually. fuck the sex pistols man. and i have a life. if you dont believe me they can work together, go to cali.
Are you retarded? Both groups are about rebellion and anti-establishment. How does that make them opposites?
He's probably still living in the 80's, they were agitating against each other much more back then. Obviously both the hippies and punks have changed a lot. Actually so much that the 'movements' both have been pronounced dead by themselves
You see? The person who started this thread agrees with me. They stated that: "Original punks were douche bags actually." Original punks, were all about violence, and violence on the dance floor for the sake of putting each other in the hospital. They were all about taking downers and speed and all about a rage lifestyle. (Rage not Rave.) How is that hippie. Punkers hated hippies. Punkers hated other punkers. How is that Peace? How is that Love? Define this for me so that I can understand you and your outlook. Thanks for your help here. eace:
Al-Qaeda is about rebellion and anti-establishment of our society. If we proceed on that one point alone as a sole indicator, then head lice could be considered as all about rebellion and anti-human-establishment. I'll bet that chickens could be rebellious as well. My point? Al-Qaeda isn't hippies. My point? Chickens isn't hippies. My point? Original Punk Rockers isn't hippies. You all can talk all you want about labels, But I'm damn proud of my label. We were and still are a worldwide phenomenon. A movement for for good. :sunny:
This seems to be two opposite attitudes about the same thing. Isn't laytonville, ca in humbolt country? Help me to see How the same place can be "douche bag" and "awesome man." I don't understand. "oh and the last earthdance in laytonville,ca was awesome man." "you sound like some humbolt country douche bag" Plus you have said twice now, from Florida, that if we don't believe it we should go to calli and see for ourselves. Like where in calli? humbolt country? laytonville, ca? or like where? I've spent most of my life there, so exactly where? And I still am personal friends with two original punks. They say that I'm correct. They are the anti-hippie movement. Help explain to me?
Dude, Punk Rockers existed in the '70s and '80. If you are not taiking about them as Punks, then I have no idea who you are trying to talk about. Unless you are trying to refer to todays fad trend fake punks. Maybe you're talking abut people who aren't punks, and you are just using that name. Do they bleed, slamming in mosh pits? Do they only ware black steel-toed boots for kicking the crap out of each other? Do they have a violent "Road Warrior II" / (Mad Max 2) trip going on? OKAY, then yer on a different page. This isn't Punks. Yer talking about wannabes. Drugstore Punks. Posers. Obviously your not talking about real Punks. Obviously your not talking about real Hippies. Obviously your talking about kids in middle school or something else, wearing t-shirts from Target, K-mart, and Wal-mart who are buying their dog collars from a Mall boutique rather then from a pet shop. Obviously we have a problem with terminologies. Like when you and I were talking before all about 2011 ancient Romans verses 38 B.C. ancient Romans. We had a miscommunications then as well. I apologize, if I wasn't clear about the fact that I thought that we were all talking about Punks, here. All about Hippies, here. And I missed the part where we were supposed to be talking about style hippies and kissey hello-Kitty punk. I don't know how I could have missed that part. Sorry. I apologize to all.
slappysquirrel. I truly wish you luck, fortune, and hope in your journey and in your growth. Don't just be you. Be the best and most awesome you that you or anyone can imagine. Respect, K
