makes sense

 

Plus, this isn't the sixties and there are far less "hippies", and nothing big to revolutionize. I use the term "hippie" very loosely because it's a counterculture now...and it already WAS a fashion - in the 60s.

And I have no idea what you're saying about hackers and punks...so many labels...grrr.

 

The hackers and punks aren't new hippies.
The new hippies are the hippies (or to some the "neo-hippies").
And punks are just street kids into punk rock.
Some share some beliefs as hippies, but as BassistReid said, it's all just the counterculter now.
"Join the counterculter, get hip to the issues!"

 

to find the link between hackers and hippies read Cybiera by Douglas Rushkoff.
And if you look around the forums youll find a lot of punks here and there.

 

Here's one reason: people tend to focus on differences in belief in various groups. But they miss one very important thing: the energy. A fundamentalist Christian can have positive energy, and a hippie can have bad energy. If people aren't paying attention to the energy they're giving off, it doesn't make one bit of difference if they agree or disagree on politics, religion, whatever. If the energy is positive, people with totally different beliefs can be surprised by the connection they develop between them.

If everyone focused on body language and the vibes they're spreading around, it wouldn't matter if they agreed or disagreed on any particular issue. But there's no way you can create a lasting, positive revolution if the energy is angry or paranoid. If you try, you only create more suffering, because good ideas get hijacked by people with a score to settle or some guilt to erase by blaming another group.

 

Yes, you'll also find a LOT of people that hate hippies.
You'll also find satanist, christians, muslims, hindus...
What's your point?

Also, the majority of hackers aim is to harm.
There is a small underground following of hackers, though, against Babylon.
Good for them I say.

 

As part of the generation that the hippy attitude should be coming into play (and isnt), Ill tell you why... they got to my people at a young age saying that drugs are BADDD and the whole view on hippies is smokin pot and holdin hands in a field. "Nah Id rather watch MTV and listen to Nelly all day". I think after us, its over. Fortuantly, Im not part of the attitude, cuz ive always had my bro and sisters getting me high when i was goin thru DARE and shit, lol.

May there always be love in your soul, and bud in your bowl

 

I put lazy twice cuz I was to lazy to think of another reson

 

really...who cares?

 

Hippies are a subculture.

 

I care. Not only those reasons but there are a lot of really cheerleader-like girls going, "I'm a hippie at heart" what??!! Your Chanel bag and thousand dollar earrings arn't hippie at heart

 

For some reason they are trying to market things to girls and they are calling the things "hippie". They put like flowers and stuff on them. I think its stupid.

 

And there are many people who hate hippies and don't want there to be any more hippies.

 

I think that inside every person there is a bond that links that person with his surroundings and other people. It is a positive energy force and I think it could bring peace to the world if everyone decided to embrace that energy. The problem, today's society has made too many ppl forget that bond. Now the world is full of greed and hate because it's what society has programmed us to believe. Look at mainstream music, almost every band has to sing about hate, death and anger. Ppl think it's cool to be 'gangsta'. What ever happened to those bands in the 50's that only sang about love and happiness? There are still some artists like that, but not enough to be appreciated by the majority of the population.
What we need to set off the new hippy revolution or whatever is a spark. In the 60's, that spark was many things, but overall it was the music. It seems hard to imagine having music as the driving force behind a revolution nowadays so it would probably have to be something else. The only question is, what?

 

maybe...acid!
i'll start learning all of chemistry REAL quick and i'll be the cook
just call me the bear

 

Why hasn't anyone blamed the liberal media yet?

 

your reasons fucking suck man. some music now a days does not suck, hippies were always lazy and too stoned, like me, and who really does give a fuck? I know I dont. AND THE MAN IS NOT THE FUCKING PROBLEM PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT ARE JUST RETARDED.

 

Fair enough, but people who say:

About anything are just as retarded.

 

hey, they were mostly lazy and too stoned, but who cares so many people these days are too, so it doesnt matter.
