You sound like half the douche bags on this forum that like to throw around blanket generalizations and stereotypes for no reason and bash on "hippies" because it's the cool thing to do. The people you mention are not hippies, they are posers. Just as there are douche bags associated with every "label" of type of person, same with hippies. There are plenty of "hippies" that do grow their own food, don't live in their parents basement, do live self-sustaining lifestyles, don't just sit around getting high all day, listen to more types of music then shitty garage jam bands, and actually practice what they preach and walk the walk. Just because you don't know any, doesn't mean they don't exist or that every hippie is what you describe.
Seriously, get off the fucking high horse and realize people are individuals and stereotypes are generally stupid because not everyone is the fucking same. You could throw around similar bullshit stereotypes around for ANY group of people and all that accomplishes is making you look like an ignorant bigot.
