What was your inspiration?

what was your inspiration for becoming a hippie?

for me it was the grateful dead. but my mom says i was always one.

 

No inspiration here, I guess I just kinda drifted... It's impossible to pick one moment when I just decided to be "hip". I guess I can't even be labelled a hippy, but wouldn't really want to be so it doesn't worry me much.

 

my persperation showz me my insperation

 

right... so what was it?... i mean there had to be something, everyone is inspired, you can't pretend like you weren't.....

 

Uh meen what iz it, I am sweatin it out, I am zoh hot in thiz hell.
just beeeein mezelff.

 

onlyone... i love the way you write.. it's interesting.. i feel like i am reading jamaican.. i listen to a lot of reggae music...not that you care but that's what your writing reminds me of..

 

my inspiration to become hip was probably genetic hehe :H

my Dad was a hippy way before i was born, but now he's all grown up and is a manager who listens to dance music :&. Coincidently i ended up following his music interests, growing my hair etc. etc.

I think music has influenced me alot as well - Pink floyd and hendrix ort of 'opened my mind'

 

The movie Woodstock really made me interested in the culture. Before that, I was already a hippie, but didn't really recognize that particular scene as something I wanted to be part of. My aunt and uncle are hippies, and inspired me a lot too. In terms of music, Crosby Stills Nash and Young was really inspiring, (and that why I watched Woodstock.) My first moment when I realized I was a hippie was after my parents (who are not hip) were listening to CSNY, and that night, I snuck the CD up to my room and listened. Wooden Ships was the most beautiful music I'd ever heard, and it changed me...

 

I'm not a hippy, but the more I find out how closely they resonate with how I think, the more I wish to actually meet some hippies. I've grown up "sheltered" or so to speak for much of my life, hearing nothing but how stupid/lazy/smelly/etc hippies supposedly are, but some part of my intuition tells me otherwise, based on what I know.

 

Real hippies are either dead, or at least fifty five years old. None of you are hippies, sorry to burst your bubbles.

 

My parents used to be hippies in the 70s.

But my inspiration would be Mother Nature.

 

Nah, we're stupid, lazy and smelly.

 

Speak for yourself.

 

i definitely don't want to eat the same cornflakes you eat

 

I wouldn't doubt that, but it's easier to substitute "Hippy" for "people who are like-minded in regards to ideas that are important to me which are commonly associated with hippies". Just a convenient label; doesn't really hold a lot of significance, now would it?

 

Because labeling is good!

 

Send me ah bunch uv yoh daddyz money an I vill send U a spittin image uv my Barbbie doll

 

Because labels are such a big deal, after all.

 

Peace, man, peace.

Chill.

 

it is if ya have one of these
