Describe a modern day hippie. Do you think that their outer appearance has changed much?

I think these days the term hippy is just used to people who care for the world around them. People who don’t want to be the cause of our world suffocating and don’t want to see Gods creations fall apart. The stereotype of them going around in a VW van and smoking weed I personally think goes against what people identify as a hippy as they both cause pollution which is therefore killing our world. I don’t think their outer appearance would have changed much from the stereotype however I deeply feel that their inner thoughts would have changed as I feel they would receive more of a feeling of relaxation knowing that they are helping the world as opposed to smoking weed.

nope, I prefer to think that I was cute when I was younger. Now I feel like the old lady look is coming on. (Will be 41 in three days and feel like I look older. Too much stress in my life until a few months ago and it took its toll in wrinkles!)

My family tells me that one of my elderly aunts used to be a flapper way back when.  I'm not sure they all fit the stereotype perfectly, but, yes, they were real.  \n\nWere 'preppies' real in the '80's?  Sure, they were real, but they didn't all act exactly like the ones in the movies, right?

oh yeah!! are you one of the rainbow people?\n\nto me 'hippie' refers to both a lifestyle and the set of tastes in music, clothing and ideas that go along with this lifestyle.  respecting yourself and nature... the ORIGINAL version of 'god's plan'.\n\nwhile i could never be a gypsy and just pick up and go at the drop of the hat, i always admired those who are free and confident enough to do so.\n\nthe free expression and free love most people equate with the hippie movement is the ultimate expression of 'live for today'.  i find it quite appealing!\n\nthe clothing style and musical tastes of the stereoypical hippie are ALSO beautiful... simple, natural, elegant in an easy going way.  not so keen on the vw minibus, though.\n\nhippies are ones who march to their own drummer, and make the world a more interesting place!  there's much to learn from someone who could care less what you or i think.\n\nfear not the long hair...

Shame on you chulapanama! We didn´t stink! The hippie era was pretty much as described above, but my main problem with my generation is that we (the old hippies/flower children) are the leaders of today, and the world is in a MESS! We really let our children down, not to mention our grandchildren. Hey guys, is it too late to do something constructive? What about using this wonderful medium (Internet) to start a movement to bring the magic of the sixties back. I personally think that that period was the best in history! Especially the music: Scott Mackenzie, Arlo Guthrie, The Stones, Jimmie Hendrix, Barry Maguire, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Fats Domino, Donovan, etc. They DON´T (CAN´T???) make music like that anymore!

Do Hippies still exist? Personally I think Hippies spoilt a lot of things. For instance...if you just want to go for a walk with your hands in your pockets and daydream or maybe just watch the stars you're called a Hippie. If you're laid back in life generally you're a Hippie. What nonsense.\n\nThe original Hippies who stayed on reservations and generally lived the lifestyle were probably okay. It's the later Hippies who just like the uniform and the power they feel it gives them that are dodgy. You know, they walk around as if they know something you don't. Isn't it funny how many Hippies end up in positions of power -Bill Gates, Tony Blair, Richard Branson, Anita Roddick etc.\n\nThis is no coincidence. Hippies are on a power trip just like anyone who wears a uniform.

The ideals that inspired the hippies (though born more in the sixties and carried over to the seventies) cannot be confined to a decade. There is a hippy movement in America right now though less visible. It is carried on by those inspired by their ideals. Styles are modified and updated to suit the times but the movement lives on.

Yes, our society has degraded tremendously since 1970! I was twelve years old back then, and I have been watching. I wish we could get our old values back before it is too late.

No-looks like you don't know what the 60s hippies were.

Yes, people do judge others by their dress, bodily markings, interests, methods of speaking, etc. For instance, when I see you, I automatically think "Hippie". I don't know if it is the red hair, or the mermaid tattoos.

It's the current look for middle class teenagers.  Most don't even know why they dress/act the way they do.
