what is a hippie?

whats your definition of a hippie? i bet everyone's is different... id put mine on here, but i dont feel like typin... freak out!

 

wow... i sound like such a fuckin noob... its workin!

 

well ... I think that there are so many forms of hippies. Kinda like christianity. You believe in peace, have respect for other people's choices and the enviornment, some what of a creative personality mabye. Lives to be happy not to be rich and powerful.
Some of the basic things. Something important though is to try not to lable yourself or other people. It confuses you, the short way of putting it.

 

hippie - a member of a couterculture that began appearing in the early 1960s, which expressed a moral rejection of the established society. Derived from the word hip, meaning roughly "in the know," or "aware." Numberous theories abound as to the origin of this word. One of the most credible involves the beatniks, who abandoned North Beach, San Francisco, to flee commercialism in the early 1960s. Many of them oved to the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco, where they were idolized and emulated by the young University of San Francisco students in the neighborhood. The beats (the hip people) started calling these students "hippies," or younger versions of themselves. Actually, the counterculture seldom called itself hippies; it was the media and straight society who popularized the term. Most often, we called ouselves freaks or heads. Not until later did we begin calling ourselves hippies, and by then we were "aging hippies." An alternate spelling seldom used by people in the know was "hippy."

true hippie - a person who lives by the Golden Rule. Someone who believes in allowing others to pray to any god, sleep with any consenting "adult," eat, drink or ingest whatever and dance to any music. True hippies are evolutionaries, not revolutionares; we will convince you with words, not weapons. We believe passionately in democracy and free enterprise (not capitalism). We will not go to war for peace; we will love the world into it, talk people into it or shame them into it. Some people may think we are a joke; they may think we are naive, or that we are unrealistic, but we have high ideals. Some may think we have ulterior motives, some agenda to make ourselves rich and take over the world, but that is only their value system speaking; we have no other reason for our actions that to see peace, prosperity and love for all. That will be our reward. We are everywhere, and some day, if the world wises up, it will listen to us. September 11, 2001, would never have happend if people had listened to us 30 years ago.
