Many were just trend followers, but many have moved on to do good works in life. Besides "just making money" (what does that get you anyway but a early grave and debt?) you need to learn a bit more about history it seems.
Thanks to those "dirty losers" this country will never be the same and we have more freedoms.
(The ideas of individualism, so dear to America is stronger in our national conscience then ever and that resurgence WAS part of what the hippies brought to us through their music and culture that creeped in)
Same could be said of our founding fathers, they were not much different.
George Washington was not exactly a clean guy while creating change either.
Our armies literally lived and adopted the ways of native americans and lived like dirty hippies, and defeated the richest army of "winners" in your book to create this country.
It is all perspective, which you lack. Following what the ruling class tells you makes you a "winner" is not always the best route to freedom, regardless of what south park tell you my contrarian friend.
