From the Urban Dictionary

hippy:

someone who has a bright outlook on life and cares about the world instead of trying to ruin it. they are often member of groups such as greenpeace and antiwar groups that care about the environment.
they reject the established culture and are a subculture originating in San Francisco in the 1960s who advocated universal love and peace, usually had long hair and used soft drugs, usually listen to acid rock and progressive rock music, reggae music such as that of bob marley.
make love not war


This is the way that I tend to define hippy. I think nowadays people define "hippies" almost exclusively more by their style of dress and long hair...their external selves (and the sterotypical cannabis use, as indicated by the term "soft drugs", above... FYI - I am not using the term stereotype in a negative way, here).

What do others think? Is there is shift in how we define hippy in regards to it being an external presentation only/mainly?

Just random thoughts...
