When did you realize you were a hippie?

Oh yeah, it was last school year when I met one of my friends, and he is a hippie. I met his cousin, who is also a hippie also. I always had "thoughts like a hippie"(as my friends says" I just got into it more. I don't look too much like it, my hair is short and choppy, and i love cutting my hair(its so fun) I can't stand my hair long because i have very thick hair and it gives me headaches. But I think my views on the world count more!

 

I looked in the f*ckin mirror and saw my hair down to my ass, bra-less, covered in braids and beads with no shoes on. "DAMN!! I look fine!" I screamed as I put on Janis Joplin and lit a joint. That was the awakening. But I do that every morning.

 

I WANT LOVE LOVE LOVE.........and friends........

 

um... will you be my friend?

 

I still don't know if I'm hippy or not. It's like my mind is a complete yin yang. One one side, there's this innocent posterboy for beatnik, who distrusts authority, and does his own thing; then there's the complete rebel, who hates everything and everyone, and who not only distrusts authority, but goes against it. I've always hid behind a veil of hatred towards everything, but really, inside, I am at total peace with everything. I just haven't had that one special event happen that forces me to make a final, solid decision on which polar side to stick with. I don't really know if I have inside what it takes to be a "hippy", simply because I am so unsure about myself on so many aspects. However, I am completely infatuated with the hippy lifestyle and ideology. I guess I'm just too afraid of rejection by my own family.

 

I realized I was a hippie when I grew my hair out and started listening to my mom's music suddenly had the urge to smoke marijuana after watching Almost Famous.

 

like ten minutes ago.

 

*Bites you* Tickle me.

 

I have always been on the hippie side.... i mean when i was younger i listened to the beatles, greatful dead, joan biaz and other great artists, i just was all into it, the peace signs all over the room, the whole being a vegitarian, having a whole different outlook on life, no violence, agienst the presidant and every stupid decision he has made.... i just have always been that way for as long as i can remember, my mom told me so to

 

I ranted about how much of a pain society was too many times. A lot of people chewing me out for being a Hippie sort of let me know. Well, screw them. Peace!

 

wen vill yu short hair jerkoffz real-Ihzzzze Yoh iz nut ah hip person.

 

Know how you don't usually become self-aware til about 4 years old, and that's when you start to think for yourself for the first time and begin to develop your own conciousness? Well I was thinking for myself at around two or three, but then in school I regressed and became a zombie for a few years. It wasn't until I was at uni, after going through some miserable periods where I felt like I justn didn't fit in, then moving to another part of town and regaining a sense of purpose, that I became self-aware again. Seriously, about four years of my life are like the early days of childhood: hazy fragments of memories that don't fit together to tell any kind of story. It was only when I became concious for the second time that I realised I was a hippy.

 

Well,When i was 12, i've started to listen (and love) the Beatles,and then,i started to read many things about the sixties,and i knew many bands,and learned something about this decade.
Later, i saw hippy photos and i read more about their ideology,way of life,etc and i realized that i was a hippy,because i agreed with their love for animals and nature,positive vibrations (peace and love \o/),no violence,simple way to see the life (they don't care with clothes,fashion,and all this frivolous things),and.. many other things that you know,'cause you're a hippy too! heheh :]
I like them,they are happy,in spite of all the world problems.
Many people (like someone said here),when you talk about hippys, imediatelly think about a lazy dirty person and drugs. But i don't think like them,first because i'm not dirty and i hate drugs (maybe i'm lazy,but.. XD),and second,because it's a prejudiced vision and who says it don't knows anything about what is a true hippy.

 

I didn't realize I was a hippie. Huh... This is news to me. I guess people at school aren't just full of it when they call me a hippie.

 

Felt it since i was a child, started thinking i was a hippie when other people started calling me one.

 

Why are people so disturbed by the question? I HATE paisley and psychedelical 60's stuff. I don't do drugs. And I was concieved just as the hippie culture was peaking. So it was totally out when I was a teen. But I'm still a hippy. You know, long haired, bare-footed, nature loving, wierdo, hippie, freak. I use the label, not to be a poser, but because, well, it fits better than most others.

 

Oh, and I realized that I was born in the wrong generation when I was 14.

 

when i discovered the sixties, the music, theyre lifestyle, the philosophy

before that i was listening to rap, now i dont hear one song of it, exept i still listen sometimes to eminem cause he's lyrics are too good, he's hilarious, specially on his old album (slim shady lp)

 

hmmmmmmm i have always hung around hippies since i was like 16ish or so but i didnt become one exactly till recently like a year or so ago. opened up my mind. prolly why I JUST joined hipforums here.
