Not the reason... just the promoters.
Dysfunction, depravity, and license guised in the cloak of "peace, love and activism." The "Hippie Movement" along with their creators, the international left, simply pushed that supposed values down the throat of the public culture. It was only a minority of upper class kids who's parents could underwrite that kind of disfuncitality who signed on. The rest of us were not much different than our parents.
I was there, and not one in a hundred of young people my age were anything like "Hippies." For the most part, we had traditional values even if we did not always abide by them. (Nor did any other generation) But if you watched the mainstream media in those days, or even today, you would be convinced that every Boomer was a Hippie.
We weren't.
Hippies were scum then, and they remain so today. (See Paris Hilton)
Like most every thing else, don't believe what the media tells you about the 60s --- or anything else.
Paris isn’t a hippie, she’s just a rich dumb bimbo whore (and wears expensive clothes).
I was a hippie, that’s where the drugs and women were, ah the women!!!!
Same thing, just different century.
I think more degraded and debauched American royalty.
Nothing like women that are hairier than the men.
Drug addiction
Drug overdoses & death from overdoses
Drug burnouts with ruined mental capacity
Tolerance for all kinds of strange behavior and
just plain weirdness.
Enviromentalism & earth worship nonsense
Passed on the drugs, but went after the woman --- until I realized that she stunk -- both literally and figuratively. I wasn't that horney, even then.
I went back to my world full of "un-beautiful" people, and have lived happily ever after. ;~)
To put it bluntly, Hippies were A** holes.
Once you start, you realize that you could be at it all day huh.
Like these beautiful people?
yeah, they’re a generation of freeloaders looking to the government to support them for the rest of their lives - now pay your taxes, these moochers are depending on you :D
Dude, I’m trying to have a late dinner here. I’d like it to stay down.
Do you think Paris Hilton is a hippie?
“Live and let dye, live and let dye.”
Didn’t they say they smoked dried banana peels?
(Early 70’s )Time Mag got sucked in and reported the hoax as real news.
Sub-terranians, beatniks, hippies, Students for a Democratic Society,,,all made America smell bad, now it’s jell-o is the Demorats.. bad smelling, poison, jell-o...mixed with dried banana skins.
Kucinich, a rep from Ohio was on the TV for an interview, after the interview he gave the old “V” hippie peace sign or if your a Vet like me it was better known as the foot print of an american chicken “Y”. The Hippies are in charge and want to have their PEACE. The Muslims couldn’t ask for a better time to strike. I just keep buying ammunition.
Exactly correct. The hippies and druggies from the late 60’s and 70’s are now the people ruling over us (Billy Jeff Clintonoide). Look at the druggie (alcohol) Teddy (hope you can swim when I’m driving) Kennedy and all his totally ignorant laws he writes up. People like him should be banned from being in a representative position in any level of government.
