“...hippies in the ‘80’s”????
By the 1980’s there were no more “Hippies”, just wannabees.
But there were still hippies. This was in Eugene, OR. They were in their 40s and 50s and had some perspective on things. Also dealt with some trust fund bohemian types.
The whole hippie/yippee/yuppie transition played out pretty fast. Yuppies were the scum of the Earth in the circles I was familiar with. Flower children in ‘87 were growing and selling flowers at the Saturday market in Eugene. Never mind that they grew them on a high-dollar farm in the country. I think the guy that owned that may have earned some of his money, but he was awfully young. He had trust funders and real bohemians hanging around. Some of them were bigger assh*les than any yuppie.
