So what’s a new hippie?

I mean... What are the differences compared to the hippies from the 70's. I must say the 70's were so much different. Times were cooler. What’s a hippie like today? Sorry if this has been asked already.

 

hippie was a 60s term,

 

how so

 

most hippies now don't really care about changing the world anymore, just smoking weed and listening to pink floyd.

 

dont be that way about it. It is hard to ask a question like that with out a label. sometimes you need to use a lable so people dont have to sit around forever while you explain what kind of person your talking about. :H h

 

?

 

So your not hippies anymore just young dudes smoken.

 

"hippie" was simply a term applied to the 60s trend. the title itself is bullshit.

 

every title is bullshit

 

Yeah...I was just saying the term "hippie" was bullshit. But not everything in the 60s was bullshit.

 

So not true....You should read up on your history right around Vietnom era.

 

agreed fuck titles , i am who i am , and thats it

 

It really doesn't matter if it carried over to the 70s...

 

i hate the threads that argue what a hippie is, whos a hippie and whether people who label themselves as hippies are posers or not.

hippie means many things to many people.

whats the difference? the date. how about that for an answer?




and just to say, i've read many books saying that a hippie is someone who just smokes pot. these are from the 60s.

 

anti pot propagahnda




the cops labeled the long hairs to profile

 

I do believe the word "hippie" was used by beatniks to describe someone who wasn't hip enough to be a beatnik :H

Huzzah for squares

 

a hippie is what the black hipsters called the white people who hung out with them.

 

a hippie was what a new broadcastor labeled all the cats turning into beats and such because they said the people were trying to be "hip".

 

what is the point in labeling people...?


you are who you are...
