What's your definition of a hippie? People use the term a lot on here, many times in a derisive way.

It's no different than nigger, jew, spic, gook, thug, hipster, punk, etc... It's how it's applied by the person using it, it's meaningless unless you know who you are talking to or can respond to a new voice.

In the words of Sly and Family Stone, "Don't be call me nigga, whitey.. Don't call me whitey, nigga"
and in the words of Ken Kesey's son... "I remember when one of the kids called me a hippie," Zane says. "I cried and asked my mom what it meant. She said a hippie is someone who is closer to Jesus."

Hippie, in the way it's meant when people use the word: In the '60's- Some one who most likely protested the Vietnam War, took LSD and went to Woodstock. Modern versions- a kid in high school who listens to the grateful dead, does not smoke weed or do drugs, and uses 'being a hippie' as an excuse to not bathe and act liberal. Neo-hippies. OR Does a ton of drugs and doesn't give a shit about politics as much as neo-hippies but usually has an enlightened attitude as a result of the drugs. Not usually a self-proclaimed hippie, but called that by others because everything has to be labeled. Is the more acceptable form.
Anway, I loosely respect old hippie ideals and people like Timothy Leary, because of the open mindedness supported by the lifestyle. But I, being part of a later generation, believe in creating my own identity and not following a dead movement. They set a good example, socially, by questioning authority and not being restrained by societies standards, but most of the followers of that movement were just going with the crowd and eventually grew out of it into the disco scene. Back in the 60's they were creating their own lifestyle, it was new. Anyone who tries to replicate it is an idiot. A big part of the whole movement was being unique, and copying something that's supposed to be unique defies what you're trying to copy. And in the end you're just an idiot. Acting like a hippie now is a lot like boasting that you're a non-conformist. I can't take these kids seriously. I think were due for a movement among youth, this current pop culture has to die. If it continues we're fucked.

Wow you can really see a difference in definitions here.
To me a hippie is someone who's main objective in life is not financial gain. The true hippies I've known seemed more concerned about being caretakers of the land. Totally enjoying and experiencing everything to the greatest extent possible. You know, Be here now. Granted not all, but that (for me) is the definition of a true hippie.

I guess i need therapy too then. Life isnt about making money or about being in debt. Does not caring about working for some stupid corporation make me a hippy?

Well yes I don't let South Park define my words.
The reason I consider this my definition of hippie is due to personal experience. I myself am not a hippie, but I have many ideals of theirs. My mother was a hippie. As were many other members of my family. I have known and loved many.
Really Gnubobo, you seem pretty intelligent, do you really let South Park speak for you?

I was agreeing with what mushbaby said. Working for a company like the one i work for let's you really understand how pointless work is, unless it's important to you. I dont need you to upload anything. maybe i should upload something for you.

And I think both of us are allowed to be extraordinary.

The best would be if they all died. Or somehow quit being worthless and quit using up the resources on this planet that everyone who gets off their ass and does something with their life is entitled to.
about 3 billion people need to die, and hippies should be included.

I would like you to point out where I said work is pointless. What I said was it's not their "primary objective" in life. If all you are worried about is making money, you just don't get it. Because no matter how much money you have, you'll never have enough.

I'm very lazy as well.
Except I still get things accomplished with half of my day.
What the fuck does a hippie do?

I dunno, but I don't see why you're so uppity about it. They don't wanna make money, then they don't want to make money. It isn't a requirement in life unless you make it one.

In my opinion, hippie is a member of a dead culture. Anybody called 'hippie' nowadays, is just an extension of the counterculture of the '60s.
When it was still relevant, it meant radical thinker, drug user (mainly psychedelics and cannabis), showing an affinity towards psychedelic art and fashion, anti-Vietnam War, ant-establsishment.
Although, there are definitely some overlaps.

If having money and driving a nice car is what you believe life is all about then you've been blinded by materialism. That's the real problem, not the "lazy hippy"
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND

This is actually the kind of thinking that hippies were rebelling against.

Its not "what life's all about". Its stuff that improves your quality of life.
Making money is not inherently evil. Being greedy is.

That brings up another point:
There are wealthy people who would describe themselves as hippies. I'm sure some of them even fit all your definitions, EXCEPT for the one about making money. What about those people? Are they not true hippies because they happen to have money?
Trust-fund hippies. The dreadlocked white kids who live off mom & dad, and use their birthday money to fly around the world acting like a hippie in various other countries. Some of those people are genuinely nice, friendly, non-greedy people...they just happened to be born to people with money. Are they not hippies because they have money? Why not? Isn't that just discrimination against people with money? Not a very "hippie" attitude to have...
I don't see why any of you would want an antiquated label like "hippie" thrust upon yourselves anyhow. The sixties and seventies are long over. Why don't we quit dwelling on the past, and try to make things better NOW, in a relevant way?
