Why do people dislike me because I'm a "hippie"?

hmmm well,to answer your question
in my opinion its probably cause in general hippies can be naive and ignorant
i dont know you or how ''hippiy'' you are
but some of y'all can be annoying
either way they atll should't fuck w/ you
but they're only doing that cause they know they can
give them shit back
stop taking it sitting down

 

Ted Nugent first big hit was = Journey to the Center of the Mind = In 1968 and the band was call Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes..........Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey
To the center of the mind

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams
Where things are really not

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams
Where things are really not

But please realise
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey
To the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey
To the center of the mind
Center of the mind
Center of the mind

You can bet just by the lyrics of that song in 1968 Ted was droping acid.

 

I don't hate you because you're a hippie

I don't like you because you stereotype yourself and everyone else.

 

Hippies are so rare nowdays, atleast where i live, so you can hardly call it a mainstream stereotype.

 

They been rare since the mid- late 70s where have you been?

 

I don't have such an experience, but once,on my birthday, me and my hippie company were listen to music and dancing around one little garden.The people looked stare at us and laughted,but we don't care.Sometimes the people dislike the original and different of them.But there are also many people who likes me because I'm a hippie,because I'm different.

 

I get it sometimes. About a week ago I was at some carnival when a kid came up to me and said "Nice bell bottoms fag. Get a haircut you look like a dirtbag." As usual I just walked away but this kid kept bugging me. After about an hour of harrassing he ended up being the one who looked like an idiot. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you're not getting your ass kicked or anything whats the harm.

 

just 1 question how was that guy dress?

 

If you're talking to me, he was wearing the same thing most kids wear... just a polo shirt and some khakis with his adidas sneakers.



I think I was wearing either this or something real close to it. Oh and thats me...

 

I was hoping he wore a Ghetto outfit with the pants hanging way below the pubic line and some funky boxer shorts above his belly botton.

 

So, what you wear really doesn't reflect who you are in my opinion. It sounds like in a lot of these cases the folks really weren't being made fun of for being "hippies" but were being made fun of for wearing clothes that really stand out against the grain. I think there is a huge difference in being a so called "hippie" and dressing like one, same as there is a huge difference in getting made fun of for being a "hippie" verses getting made fun of for dressing unusual.

 

I get some friendly Virginians yelling "Hey there, sweetie, do you believe in free love? Hardy har har har..."

About labeling… a certain amount of conformity is necessary, or normal, within the counterculture, if only because of the fact that people with similar viewpoints tend to manifest those viewpoints similarly. A label for a group of people with similar interests leads to a sort of togetherness that I think is necessary to endure all of the taunts and jeers. If you plan on surviving outside of the mainstream, you usually need some help from like-minded individuals, or I’ve found that it’s easier that way. Rejecting and trying to live separate from society is a very difficult thing to do, but it’s even harder to do alone. Community and unity is needed to achieve any sort of goals- or even to survive, sometimes. I think that attacking one another about labels is one-upmanship and pseudo-intellectuality and hypocritical...
