there is a flourishing neohippie culture in the 90's based predominantly around new music, social and cultural issues.

hey, dude......

I don't think you've got the idea, man.

Like, hippy and neo together?

wow, man - that's like a really heavy trip, you know.

Peace.

like totally i saw one the other day at a fleamarket selling like tie dyed shirts, patachouli oil and guatamalan clothes. Perhaps this is how they are tied to the actual real hippies.I mean it was far out i took pictures and all

I am rather confused as to the pretext of neohippie culture. The original culture, as stated in the article, was based on a ridiculously futile anti-war protest and copious amounts of mind-altering drugs. As I am unaware of any American involvement in any war, and as the most popular drug amongst the neohippies seems to be hashish (potent, however hardly mind-altering), I fail to see any reason to associate this group of people with the old hippie culture. Why not call them wierdos?

Chaos.

Damn, I must have been in a really bitter mood when I wrote this, my appologies to any who may have been offended. Actually, hippies can either be really cool or really stupid, depending on whether they hold to a set of beliefs or if they just want to be accepted within a subculture. My opinion is, take them as they come, but dont judge prematurely.

the "neo-hippies" i know are involved with a acid and 'shrooms-both mind altering drugs. ALthough there is no war to protest, they seem to be more involved in environmental issues, as well as human rights movements such as Save Tibet.

I consider myself a "psudo hippy". I love the music, the idealism, the clothes, but I don't do drugs, sleep around, or agree with *all* of the philosophies. I think being a hippy involves a lot of individualism, and if my individualism involves not marijo, then so what. I use the internet a big part of communicating with other people, though I find most of the "hippies" to be stoners. Check the website forums at hippy.com.
