Neohippiemovement?

When will a new hippie movement arise? I think it's about time. We are reaching almost 50 years since its spark and the world is in dire need of the passion and desire that fueled the counterculture movement of the 1960's. How could this occur? If it is already on the rise, then how could we get involved or help this movement echo?

 

History is best not being repeated. That's not to say we don't need a new idea...

 

dance make a joyful noise

 

I agree! lets have another Woodstock!! :daisy:

 

i assume it will come about 40 years after the reappearance of the flapper girl.

Alot of the hippie ideals are being integrated into society to various extents. Over the past 10-15 years, there has been renewed interest in psychedelic drugs and their potential therapeutic benefits. Open sexual attitudes are rampant on the internet and elsewhere in society. The internet also allows for access to spiritual and philosophical paradigms far outside those of mainstream society.

What was counterculture in the 60's is getting assimilated as subcultures today.

The culture at-large has a way of commodifying ideas, concepts, goods, etc. In such a way that makes it difficult for a clarion call to overhaul the system to gain much traction.

 

I agree but I feel like the drive for peace and love could still be integrated on a larger scale. Something to ignite a large change in the minds of the social networking generation. The separation of technology and the drawing close to those around us. A movement could begin. I think one needs to begin now more than ever to finish what the first hippies did not complete. To really change our society in the way they so strived.

At first I thought the headline read (Nemphohippie. Wasn't sure, but after reading it through I got the point. Hey, what do I know ? exploration and media driven exploitation could fall underneath the same category, which reminds me. Being Hip in todays mainstream media driven world would account for more than the social cosmic alcohol weed driven frenzy of a great time would it? I'm only asking via the frames of minds we confide in once exploring self expression and Higher stakes of a higher importantance of understanding anything worth understanding. Maybe, the the first half of my lifes mistakes could fashion a need for a new hippie movement, while knowing nothing has happened to the old 1. Humor coexist in its excellence, but uncertain in its framework. I should look on the brighter side of being only 24 and interesting enough to know my intellectual continuity is founded from the hip- generation of cross-cultural dialect. I'm just saying!

 

The youtube link answers most questions and comments above (whatever a "neohippie movement" might be). It's happening all over the world.

Well that's weird, sometimes the link takes me to Transylvania Calling 2012 (the one I wanted) and sometimes 2013. ??

Fuck. That's Bill Burroughs speaking. How about we have a beat, hippie, neohippie party where the music goes from 9p Friday to 2p Sunday and there's not too many people and not (usually not anyway) drunken assholes doing what they do and there's plenty of room for meeting people, hanging out, tripping around in the woods all independent of the music.

BUT WATCH OUT. What happens to some people who trip at these things is that the music somehow penetrates those people (even when they started out "not liking that kind of music") and they want to come back again and again...

It's happening!

 

Just talk to Scorpio Kenny. He's been trying to find only 3 serious dedicated people male or female to put a real go team together in order to get a ball rolling. A Renaissance is his life dedication. Artists, musicians, actors, poets, philosophers, lovers. Every Head and Heart.

 

Can't seem to find anyone interested hanging out there at the heated pool?

 

No. Can't find anyone for a Renaissance

 

I'm not clear on what it is you want to change.

 

Many of the goals of the hippie movement have become mainstream goals (green movement, environmental and social issues), have been accomplished or are adopted for a large part by mainstream society (big gatherings in the form of music festivals, sexual freedoms etc.). This is probably why there are less likeminded people up for starting another hippie movement.

 

Yeah... But we still need to dose Congress.

 

Well I think the fruition of the hippie movement will occur. The war on drugs or the counter government response began in 1971. That farce is cracking up. Pharmaceutical dependence is a far more insidious social problem than psychoactive drug use.
