I've noticed quite a few comments about 'damn hippies' and stuff circulating, and in all my life I've never met a proper hippie, just seen some try-hard kids with Jefferson Airplane t-shirts knocking around to be honest... I think it must be the region I live in....
So what problems do we have here on the shroomery and why with some of these long haired, espadrille-wearing people?
To me, "hippie" connotes some bullshit party-line leftist unthinking twat that knows jack shit about anything or how to solve problems. They are the left's equivalent of Pat Robertson.

so i grow my own food. i work for myself. im not on welfare, i get no support from the gov/t, no grants, no loans, other than a mortgage. i have my own spiritual beliefs, i dont go to your church on sundays, i go to mine. i have long hair. i have a full time job. im getting married, were going to have kids. and im sure as fuck not raising them in the city,
i take pride in providing for myself, you may take pride in buying that fancy car or new stereo or shiney watches. i take pride in feeding the ones i love, and making my own music. be it sad, happy, crappy or rocking.
"hippies" are dead. google up the hippys funeral circa 1966. that word is just a label to throw at ppl.
sure there are some real fruitcakes out there, like that cult bus on tour, that will try and play on those "hippy ideals" - free love, drugs, rock and roll.
i can see why ppl hate "hippies" because all they see is the greasy kids on tour hawking shitty shit to make it to the next show, or all the other stereotypes. but for you to do that, well its like me stereotyping anyone who listens to rap, saying theyre all gangsters, all criminals, they all deserve to die.
fuck that shit. fuck labels. live sustainbly, provide for yourself. stop eating KD and macdonalds, stop shopping at walmart.
these "hippies" that you all hate so much will be the ones youll find in the woods in 10 yrs when the real shit hits the fan, oil runs out, ppl shooting ppl for gasoline,the "hippies" that you hate will be living, growing food, pot, shrooms, veggies, maybe take down a deer or moose once or 2 times a year. living. on their own.
yeah fuck them man, they all stink, lets gas em.
those thoughts are ridiculous.

Is that a joke? Who doesn't wash themselves? I usualy take 2 showers a day. Lots of drugs can be a bad fucking thing. Rot your brain out and shit.
Bitch a lot? I'm all for that.

Hrm. I think a clear definition of a hippie needs to be made, one that many agree on.
If it doesn't already exsist.

I saw Yonder Mountain String Band play last night at the house of blues, sunset strip. There were lots of hippies, and it was the best vibes and most dancing I've ever seen going on at HOB. Lots of smiles and lots of fun.
Then again, the hippie-looking kids at Haight in SF can be downright frightening, mean-spirited, unethical, what have you.
So I dunno, I think the hippie label is to small to fit people who live outside the conventional culture and do drugs. There are good people who live like that, and bad people who live like that.

when shit hit's the fan, today's "hippies" will be the ones stealing shit and running back to the woods to smoke a joint and bitch about what they couldn't steal. living in the woods...living off of others.

the ideals you describe seem more reflective of the average libertarian than the average twentysomething leftist Phish-following trustafarian that I'm talking about.

in my eyes, thats what a hippy is, someone who provides for themselves and theirs, who is a free thinker.
when i think of trusties on tour, i think of wookies, not hippies. thats just me. dont get me wrong, i dont wear patchouli(that often) i dont have dreads, i have a fulltime job, mortgage, etc etc. isure i raged a phish tour or two ack in the day, then i grew up i guess. realized that this world aint gonna last for much longer so i's better be getting ready.
just let the hate die man. its no good for you

lol, trying to define these people in a few words? oh yeah, you guys have got it right
how about this. im not crazy about people who call themselves hippies. its not about the ideals some may carry, its about people subscribing to a particular label that i dont like. id rather drop the term hippie from my vocabulary than argue if hippies are 'good' or 'bad'. all the term does is apply preprogrammed impressions to people that do not necessarily deserve them. in the end, YOU are wrong, not the "hippies"
"Your reasons for hippie hatred" is weak thinking, imo.

I'll tell you what's no good for me:
people who complain about the evils of america while simultaneously partaking in america's prosperity.
people who talk democrat but get all their income from their republican parents.
people who whine and bitch and complain but never do anything to solve this country's problems besides sitting on their ass and getting high.
people who try to cram books like 'Be Here Now' down my throat the same way christians do with the Bible
if you don't fit into any of those categories, I got no beef with you, whether you want to call yourself a hippy or not. I agree with you, man: fuck labels. But human communication and understanding will always be dependant on schemas and labels to a certain extent. So don't blame me for using a (IMO, fairly accurate) schema to judge a group of people whom I have had MUCH experience with. I've been to Rainbow Gatherings and Phish shows, too. The reason I don't attend such events anymore is because I don't enjoy hanging out with those kind of people now that I'm an adult.
