What is your definition of a "hippie"?

simply put people who dont understand how the real world works. and with more ferverance $hithead people who are into organic foods and hate "the man".
 
I use the word hippie to define anybody that really digs music, has an open mind, is kind and caring, and tries to be good to everyone around them. Dirty hippies are those people that don't shower. You'll find a lot of these folks in the Phish/DEAD/jamband scene. They love music and are the nicest folks you'll ever meet.

I was just about to mention Phish followers 😉
 
Whew, Vietnam War flashback.

I got quite a laugh out of the linked thread. What the girls said was almost a word for word quote of a very common anti-war chant back then (Hey, Hey, LBJ, how many babies did you burn/kill today?) and 90%+ percent of the comments in the thread were the exact same words our parents were mouthing then.

Only change is substitute Rumsfeld for LBJ (a huge insult to our former President) and terrorism for communism, and nothing has changed in thirty five years. Its depressing.

Pretty much.
 
In NorCal, we've got three classifications of hippies. The "original hippies", people who were there in the sixties, did the sit ins, drugs, free love, etc, and who still live that way, shoeless, selling flowers on corners, etc. They live in Humboldt, Arcata, and in Mendocino.

Then there are the "hippies-turned-yuppie", the folks who were in the movement in the sixties and seventies but were lured away by middle-class jobs. They like to still think they're connected to their hippie roots, and they vote liberal or green, but they live their middle class lives without too much deviation from the mean. They live in Willits and they're the reason we've got medical marijuana (and the reason Willits is the centre of the "Emerald Triangle").

Third, there are the "new-age hippies". These are the young kids, teens through late twenties, who like to think of themselves as "free spirits" and are into the crystals and gunk, picking up what they like from the original hippies and considering themselves to be liberated, nature-conscious, and higher beings. They live in Santa Cruz, and they're the reason the city is officially a "no-hate" zone.
 
If by "hippie" you mean somebody who cares more about the well being of others than they do in saving themselves a few tax dollars,count me among them🙂

No, that's a liberal definition of a liberal. 😛 Though I'm sure the guys in here would be interested if you're into the hippie "free-love" thing.
