Hippies of Today

WolfyOne · 09-18-2011, 04:28 PM

I consider myself an old hippie, down to the long hair
I don't do drugs (I am not innocent from my past), have a hard time grasping the new
Always look back on the 60's (for me late 60's) and 70's with fondness
Hell, recycling started long before anyone ever realized it was happening
Free love, not so much a believer with all the STD's out there
I do not confine myself to any particular style in clothes
I am always going to wear my jeans until they are no longer wearable in public
Hell, I can even stand up for a cause and protest to this day
I have and always will, walk to the beat of my own drum
My music has shifted over the years, but still I go back to the days of old more often than not

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hippies ROCK!!!!!

My brother who i lost last Nov was a full fledged, harley ridin, long haired, pot smokin and free-lovin hippy. I remember when he had that old vw van with bright colors all over it. He drove that thing until it was completely dead and i remember he cried when he had to let her go, lol. I miss him so much and i miss being around someone who was so carefree and loving.

I migrate to hippies and totally have some of that in me.

I'm even thinking of making my den into a 60s theme. It just all warms my heart.

ROCK ON HIPPIES!!!!!!!

I am going to take recycling to a new high. I am siding my house with soda cans.

Curious, what is everyone's take on the term "hippie"? I attend Burning Man every year and have had people call me a hippie. Yes, I may have some traits of a classic hippie, but for the most part, I am far from it.

My favorite definition comes str8 from the dictionary:
someone who rejects the established culture; advocates extreme liberalism in politics and lifestyle.

The thing is that the "established culture" is always changing. Maybe not in a good way, but it is changing.
