look at me! I'm 14! Flary pants are in style for the zillionth time at the GAP this decade therefore I must be a hippy because I wear them! I pretend to be vegetarian so my friends look at me weird when we go out and eat at the mall food court! I wear birkenstocks because they happen to be on sale and my mommy charged them on her zillion-dollar limit credit card! yay hooray! I like lettuce and I'll wear whatever the mall sells me so I must be a hippie! (is this sounding vaguely familiar?!?)
I just felt a little creative. And to anyone who's offended... don't worry, that's the mentality i had through most of highschool....
i know what you mean, but come on.... isnt being a hippy about love and peace? well, icant criticize you too badly because my hobby is making fun of mean rude fake people, but im trying to stop that addiction. we should stop being so mean, honestly. at least their fake vegetarian fake hippy is better than fake punk. god, fake punks are annoying "fucking, anarchy in the fucknig u.k., even thought i live in the u.s.a. and support fucking bush and wear 200 dollas plaid pants that i fucking ripped because it looks punk and i dont care if im wasting my parents money, and i fucknig dyed my hair even though i dont like it but my friends do, adn i wear safety pins on my clothes, and pretend to like the ramones although all im donig is insulting the ramones by pretending to like them, and im different even though im like every other wannabe punk in the fucknig worl. and i ficking cuss because im a fucking rebel... sorry. i hate when people act like that
Wow my friends and i do that too and its fun, but we felt bad until; We saw some of these people in action, and they really are mean and horride people. So we felt justifyed... kinda
Don't let yourself get annoyed by posers. You'll be a happier person for it as it's anxiety you needn't bring on yourself. I'm not speaking to anyone in particular, just in general.
every time I come to these threads theres always threads about who's a hippy, who's not, what makes a hippy, what doesn't, I'm a better hippy than you. who the fuck cares?
People seem to. I don't. I just care if they're a good person to talk to or if they're interesting to meet... or if they need any help or need to talk about problems anything. Most of the time, I really don't come across those things, as I pretty much stay within the Young Hippies and Music forums, and I really know everyone who posts around them by first name and have a few peoples addresses and phone numbers and such but I haven't found myself leaving the house to mail anything in a while. Ever since December, I've kind of been down and out about things... I've been sick on and off for two months now and I've gone through a break up, a friend commiting suicide, two family members dying, and my grandmother just died last night and my dad and I discovered her body... and it's really weird/odd.
Well come on guys, you know just as well as i do that this is after all a 'hippy' based site. Of course there are going to be young ones coming and going asking "who here is a hippy?". They are just trying to find themselves and trying to find out where they belong. I will agree that it DOES get old reading these threads about "what real hippieism" Thats all I wanted to say really
I think it's great when youngins come here and ask questions. At least the lifestyle their exploring is a healthy one. But I just can't stand it when people ask those questions in order to prove that they are or some is not their definition of a hippy. And when people (like the author of this thread) spend time bitching about other people posing. Usually I love cerriwen's posts, but I don't like how obsessed people are with other people. Live your own life and let other people find themsleves anyway they know how.
ha ha ha ha its so true....except here its emo.... emo- hair over one eye, NOT LONG BUT NOT SHORT e.g neck length, what the fuck is neck length all about?! white socks, converse, tight jeans around knees, silver studded belt, sweat bands etc etfuckingc STOP TRYING TO BE AMERICAN POP PUNKS, rant over
This is probably an exaggerated comparison, but when young kids come on the site asking "what does a hippy do?....can I be a hippy?", when we tell them to piss off being dumb, it's like kids goin' and asking a priest "how do I pray?....how do I get to heaven?" and the priest telling the child to not ask stupid questions. Abit of patience I guess. An even better example, if ye know the bible, is when the little kids wanted to sit with Jesus and talk, but the apostles thought they were too young too understand and that Jesus had more important things to do. He didn't of course, he wanted to tell them about God and so forth....
haven't you heard? "hippie chic" is the new thing. beringin us natural colors, stones, and the homemade look. so, everyone in this whole fucking school dresses like a hippie. damn them.
