I dont think of my self or any others as a 'hippie', unless they are truly a baby boomer that believes in love not war etc. Basically a 'true' hippie.


But i do believe you are what others see you as. Once some one sees you, they make a judgment, and from there on out, you have to disprove, or live up to said first impression.

You ARE what everyone else see you as, but in your head you are you. Kinda P&S, but still, the 'you' that you see is NOT the 'you' everyone else sees, as much as you may believe.

There are many forms of 'you' and it depends on what you look like, sound like and act like, and who the observer is.


So you may think of yourself as just a normal guy, but anyone walking on the street may or will see you as a hippie based on their upbringing, and your outside appearance.

You may not define a hippie, but its all in the eye of the beholder.

these days hippy is a state of mind. If caring about your planet and having your priorities in order makes you a hippy, so be it.

It had a different meaning in my day, and most OLDER people think of the old definition when thinking of a hippie.
