Hippie Guys and Chicks

'sall good so long as yer well-oiled up in chicken grease, that's what all the hippies 'round here say anyway.

 

it's all good--none taken!

 

they should be seeking love. they shouldn't be trying to be anything (including a non-comformist), except themselves. they should try to find peace in everything and share whats in their hearts with the world, in order to make it a better place.

 

I don't believe in being a hippie in this day and age. I only believe in being yourself and doing what you want and being a free spirit. Putting labels on people makes it SO EASY for them to fake who they are. I know a number of people who thought being a hippie or punker or whatever looked cool, so they got "the clothes" and "the books" and the lingo down and all of a sudden, that's who they are. Well, that doesn't go over so well with me, so I just say BE WHO YOU ARE and don't concern yourself with any label.

 

a hippie isnt a way you look, its who you are

 

haha

peace

Like everyone else said, there shouldn't really be a certain look, although there was obviously one in the 60's/70's. But I guess they just shouldn't look like the crowd or the general public if you really want to stamp them.

 

i wear tiedye so i can stand out in crowds, but i also feel most comfortable wearing tiedye.

 

That's 'cause tiedye's the shit, man.

 

To me this is a hard question because, yes i think we'd all like to think that we are individuals and we don't need labels and that we don't necissarily belong to any1 group.

Through many dicussions on this very topic, I have come to terms that as much as some of us cringe when we hear labeling...labeling is juz a way to classify a belief system (more of an optimistic pt. of view, but whatever). It is commonly known that ALOT of HIPPIES believe in "peace, wear tye-dyes, protest and maybe smoke pot"

The pt. that i'm trying to get to here is that, yes you maybe labeled something like A HIPPIE based on those patchwork clothes you wear and ur participation in the protest against the war downtown, but that doesn't mean that u've adopted every aspects of the so called sterotypical hippies lifestyle. Everyone puts their own spin on their so called label and thats what important! Its important that with in your certain label you create your individuality! Because in the end whether u like it or not people are going to put you in a catagory or place a label upon you, so you might as well make it a good one!

Being called a hippie is a complimet in my eyes, but thats only one opinion.

CONCLUSION
A hippy really isn't suppose to look like anything...you decide what clothes, hairstyles, and jewlery you feel most confident in and go for it! And if you happen to be called a hippy then I guess thats the label you comfortably fell into. Same goes for your beliefs. Don't try to fit into a label.... Find what you like 1st then let the label fall upon you.

 

Take care uv duh top part an all duh rest will fall into place in space.

Hippie guys and chicks should do what they want, when they want.


No Matter What.

 

they generally don't wear badges or drive cars that say "police" and the like...

just to help you along a little

 

I have to agree witht he both of ya. I wear tye-dye like everyday. Tye-Dye Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was still in high school I was known as the girl who wears tye-dye ALOT!

 

oh yea how could we have forgotten?? lol

 

i agree with you... about how labels are funny and stuff. i dont buy into them but i like calling myslef a hippy and i like it if others think that too... even if they dont tihkn so though i feel like one inside. um.. wow compared to all the other points this is pretty usuless lol but anyways

 

if you try to act "hippy", your not a hippy...

 

hmm ive been wondering, how would someone act hippy?

 

To understand what a "hippie" looks like you must first understand where the "hippie" comes from. "Hip" was a word used by the Beat Generation used to describe something or someone they liked. They wanted to seperate themselves from the establishment so they would use different words for different meanings. Whether the Beat word "hip" and the part of the body are related, I don't know. Regardless...when Beats would describe a guy or girl they liked they might very well have said "he/she's a hippie". But it didn't come into the light of the outside world until one of the Beat's all-time favorites Neal Cassidy (http://www.umsl.edu/~skthoma/nother.htm) came on the scene and even blew the Beats' minds........he very may have been the first true "HIPPIE". Now, in the 21st century, anyone who is far-left, anti-establishment and environmentally conscious get labeled a "hippie". What they look like makes no difference. I have short hair and when people get to know me they understand how I feel about things...it is then I get labeled a "hippie" and that is FINE BY ME!

 

you cant... thats my whole point
