Olde Hippies float on the breeze and flow whichever the wind blows Here Today, Gone Tomorrow ... though will be back again Next week "for another exciting instalment of Words, Verse, Comment and ... Chaos"
what does the modern day hippie look like to you? I live in New York City, lots of hippies here. Lots of non hippies, lots of people from all over the world, just lots of people in general.
I thought hippies were like sasquatch and the loch Ness monster. If they did exist I would like to be one some day. Legends say they have magical powers and stuff.
hippie is just another stereotype, man. My wife and I have both been called it before. I believe that the people should be natural and free. I believe the world should be honored and cherished. I believe life should be lived simple and pure. I believe that it is my duty to live as I see necessary. If this vibe makes me a hippie in other's eyes then so be it, man.
Good answers I think its really anti-hippie of "hippies" to stereotype people based on the way they think hippies should look and act 100% of the time.
I think "being a hippy" is more of a state of mind and a world view than an a look, a style or a fashion. (But what do I know? I was too young to be apart of it in the '60s) "There's no need for turning back, 'cause all roads lead to where I stand. And I believe I'll walk them all, no matter what I may have planned."
No offense dude but your username is Indy HIPPY, this post caused me to take a peak at your pics on your profile, I read your posts, uhmmm, you DO pretty much fit the stereotype like a glove, so not sure what your complaint is. and again, no offense whatsoever intended, but I certainly hope you understand why you have been labeled as such by others.
IMO the word "Hippie" means a person who seeks non-violent solutions to all different types of Mankind's conflicts. In that respective, the amount of "Hippies" here wouldn't even be a percentage. There's not even enough Hippies here to make a Hippie to Yuppie Ratio. It's mostly Yuppies, Hipsters and, Liberals. Non-violent Humanitarians who believe in peace and Human Rights are few and far between.
I reckon it's a very low percentage to be honest. But that's good, as it means more hippies than it might seem are out there ^_^
Stop trying to fit in so hard with what a stereotype wants from you, man. For instance typing 'man' all the time it's obnoxious. Drop the label and live as you.
