you don't have to be a copy after everybody just because they say so...just be yourself,be free,release yoursef by all ideas that make you be like anybody else,if you achieve this point then you are a free man! hippies are free people! this is the point
kyle. their lying to you. being a hippie IS about molding yourself into a comercialized image. You do need to smoke alot of pot, and just to be really safe in your hippie lable you should probably drop acid a few times a month. You need to tie dye your own shirts and never wear shoes, especially when your doing your daily ritual of hugging trees and appreciating mother earth. Whoever said being a hippie was about being free and being yourself was full of shit, their trying to make you look like a lame ass. Besides their all posers, hippies dont believe in technology and dont have computers, and deffinatly dont have internet for the fear that the CIA will tap into it.
I think one is a HIPPY if he feels hippie and free inside than he is hippy outside and he hasnt to prove it to anybody....or try to be hippy because one think is cool......is hippy those who are just hippy and can be free and live the way they really want.....
I dont think being a hippie is anything that has to do with your appearance i think it is to do with your way of life.
im not a hippie...im a punk/crustie. but some hippies are pretty cool. im really disapointed with the majoirty of the older ones i know. they "bought in" to the system and are no longer radical.
I learn from other hipppies.If you love music and the world you'll find many hippies like on this page.
