Hippies were originally war protestors. Their movement was meant to end the Vietnam War, but through an unclear combination of anti-peace sentiment on the part of their opposition and the drug abuse that reflected negatively on their credibility in the social and political realm, their culture started to decline into a loose, pocketed shadow of its original ideals and ways of life. Today, there are those that carry on their tradition through protests and peaceful lifestyles, but others who adopt the culture as they explore the world of drugs. Both groups are two faces on the same culture. Beliefs vary as far as which face better defines the people, but the fact is that every living hippie must accept both. Between not feeling as dedicated a peaceful world and not wanting to be associated with irresponsible substance abuse, the subculture has inevitably deteriorated into a shadow of its formerly staggering existence in America. ok the only drug hippies did was acid occasionaly. marijuana isn't a drug its an herb
they usually wear headbands they have long hair they wear glasses and they wear bell bottoms and rainbow tie die shirts.
AnswerThe hippie movement was not as much about having long hair, as it was about the attitude, and not trusting the government. It was during the Vietnam war, when mostly poor American men were being drafted and sent to fight a war, based on a lie. At the time, many of them were coming home in boxes. Being a hippy meant questioning authority, and its power. It was about peace, and not wanting to hurt others. The long hair was out of rebellion. It was used to send a statement that you won't be told how to look, or live. There are still millions of us who are hippies, only without our long hair.Besides the peace movement, being a hippie was also about rejecting middle-class materialism and the whole military-industrial complex in favor of a more spiritual, more environmentally conscious approach. Sometimes hippies signaled that rejection of middle America's money-grubbing ways by not bathing for weeks on end, or using illegal drugs, especially marijuana. And yes, some of those same people are the most conservative, driven capitalists now.It was a peaceful moment in history when a lot of people felt the need to come together with thoughts, ideas, and emotions. It was particularly in the music where the beauty of it all joined together millions of people who needed to free themselves from the everyday repetition that seemed to be misdirected. Hippies looked closely at life and tried to enjoy the moment.
No. yes we do live.
