i got a question

hey all i got this weird question 4 yal
how may of u guys really are considerd hippies

 

people call me a hippie. i dont like to label myself though, that makes way for way too many expectations.

 

everyone i know calls me a hippie but like nikkilou6387 said, i don't label myself.. i'm just.. me

 

Oh for the love of....

How many times will this question be asked?!?!?

I can smell the pungent sting of nonconformists against labeling flowing softly to my nostrils...

 

Obviously all of us are hippies. Why would we be on a site called the hipforums if we weren't hippies?

dotdotdot

 

I'm just Tom

 

you haven't even been here a month yet! relax! i've been here since before the forums were reset last year... since 2000 to be exact. you'll soon find that since new members join almost every day, every thread will be posted at least once a month.

 

you damn dirty hippie!

 

i am soO0o0Oo0O0o much of a hippie man. I mean, i smoke grass, i play guitar, i listen to 60's music, i wear hemp, i have long hair, i enjoy walking around in bear feet, i love love, i love peace, i give the peace sign, like, omg! i am such a hippie


probably when i was younger, i really did thought "ya know,i wanna be a hippie!", and probably even called myself one at some point, but im sure many 14-15 year olds have before. I just like to believe like what others have said above, i am myself, and no one else. If you think im a hippie, so be it, but i am who i am. i dont like labels though...

 

I'm kind of the anti-thesis of a hippy really.

 

I...think i love you

 

.....I've been called a hippie, but I also have been called an overly violent nutjob, so I think those cancel each other out........ we could always emp the whole world and erase most the labels.........

 

I identify as a liberal member of the counter-culture; but, I am 17. I did not live in the 60's or 70's; so I cannot say I am a "hippie." I've been called one by people (which I actually thank for the comment, and then dispel any negative stereotypes, lol) though.

 

......I've also been called amish come to think of it....... and a conservative wack job.... and a liberal wack job..... and a beatnick.....

 

I've been asked if I was a "goth" just because i had on black jeans and a black sweatshirt, with the hood up. It was ridiculous, lol; it was two young children, who were obviously confused on the matter.

 

people call me metalhead, hippie, pacifist, and a stoner and sometimes a bum. I think it's funny

 

I am Sage
No more, no less

Ah but is Sage a hippy?
No idea, and you know what ... I don't give a fuck.

Seriously, there are more important things to care about, and what kind of pathetic dumbass needs to live up to an outdated stereotype. Then prance about declaring 'ooh I'm such a hippy because of XYZ'. To a bunch of strangers who don't even really know, let alone have a genunine emotional attachment to you, no less.
What'd you want, a fucking medal?
Really what are you trying to prove, and why bother.

The more you actually really think about it the more absurd the whole concept is. So go forge you own identity. Which meh might be hippyish, but it's on your terms backed up with intelligent thought. Suppose that's what seperates the intelligent adults from silly children.

*takes deep calming breath*

LOL being a bitch is so fun.

Seriously, do whatever you want, but for God sake 'to thyself be true' and don't take it seriously.

Now hey I was young and stupid once. I initial signed up here serveral years ago during what I term my 'Flower phase' (when I seriously considered going by Flower, feel free to laugh, I do).
Now I've never been cut out to really be a hippy (too cynical, anti drugs etc .. oh yeah, and a bitch), but thought I was, and frankly was a fuckwit with it. Can't for the life of me remember what the justification was, I wasn't peaceful loving or anything, and still think tie dye looks ridiculous.

Four years have passed since then, and it took a lot to crack such a mindset. Now, must confess, I still indulge in supposedly hippy thinking/activities, but would do that anyway because I like it and that's who I am. Have come to this identity on my own terms and see no need to tick boxes and justify such choices. Will accept no label but my name, and that is simple for administrative purposes.

So no being here doesn't mean you're a hippy. There's no sign on the door saying so, or an entrance exam to discover your hippy quota. Very grateful for the lack of such elitist bullshit.
I'm only here for the company, and to be honest, out of habit.

 

I've been reading these forums for several months now... I only decided to join recently.
