I came across this site when looking up info on hippies and new aged hippies. I am writing a story for the game the sims 3 and one of my female characters is a new aged hippie. I just wanted to know if I am getting her personality right. She is a vegetarian. She does drugs but not heavily just every now and then. She has strong opinions on politics and dislikes the war in Iraq. Her view on the war is we should solve our problems with words not bombs. She is somewhat feminist but not the hardcore "I hate all men." type of feminist. Just feminist in the sense she thinks women should be 100% equal with men. And she likes late 60's and early 70's music. Here is a picture of her.
Needs to be more esoteric, you know, into the power of crystals and inner peace and the like. She needs a skirt and dreads. Ditch the guitar. In fact it's back to the drawing board I'm afraid.
if you want to talk stereotypes, we can do that. new aged hippies face all sorts of new obstacles and political issues. they are similar to hippies of the 60s/70s in their outlooks and philosophies, but they are just adapted to better suit the present world. the term is so openly defined that you cant tell someone what a hippie is. ive met people...who could fall into the category of hippie...that do totally different things, act different, believe differently. im an athiest, anarchist, nature freak and a ganja pipe schmoker. someone else could be christian, city dweller, sober bird and a liberal...yet we could both be classified as hippies. Im not quite sure if im getting across what i want to get across...but hopefully you catch my drift. i feel like, if your going to narrow hippie down to one thing...it is love. love for one another, love for yourself, love for nature. just love.
how is she holding that guitar up?! unfortunately, i don't think you're going the get the answer you want here. from what i've seen most people here...are resistant to defining hippyism by it's superfluities, such as clothing, instead seeing "hippy" as a set of ideals, mostly, as tculi said, love.
