The real “Hippies” were only in existence until 1966, after that, came all of the copycats and posers.
In England, they didn’t have hippies. They had “flower children/people”. Sky Saxon (LA singer of the Seeds, “Pushin’ Too Hard”) tried to call himself a flower power artist (mid-1960s) before there was a word “hippie”.
There’s far more copycats and poser wannabes carrying on the “hippie” life today than the true counterculture subterraneans (whether they be beats or industrial).
Even the punks that sprang up to point out the hypocrisy of the politically correct “hippies” became subverted by the same PC political subversive “joiners”.
