As someone that was a hippie and lived in the culture, I think that someday we should have a conversation about what a “hippie” was. But not today.

One quick statement though, is that hippies were not college students, and contrary to liberal, self-aggrandizing TV shows and movies, hippies did not become lawyers, CEOs, Senators, and other yuppie or yippie scum. If you were getting a college degree, partying on the weekends and going to rock concerts during the summer, you were not a hippie.

The hippies were cultural drop outs that were largely a back to the land, back to the past movement, in fact the yippie movement signified that political people had ended the very short, tiny, spontaneous, hippie movement.

You might be a hippie if:

You can remember the original definition of ‘Hippie’.

You mow your lawn and smoke it.

You call people who tell you to ‘get a job’ fascists.

Seriously Cartman came up with the modern definition of ‘Hippie’

Hippie: a person who says they want to change the world but really just sits around and smokes pot and smells bad.
