These are a group of modern day people that don't contribute a whole lot to society. They work part-time jobs, save up their money for summer "music festivals" and drugs (mainly extasy and acid) and listen god aweful dance music and "jam bands". The majority of their time is spent sitting around and making shit for each other, such as braclets and dresses. These people don't have any beliefs in commen with the 60's hippies, seeing as they don't stand for anything anymore. They live for drugs and believe in the now dis=proven theories of "free-love" and "communal living". They are a true stain of society.

Neo-hippie (or just hippy) is a name given to modern hippies, who, while retaining some aspects of the '60s hippie movement, have changed in some areas, for example by embracing punk values of anarchism, anti-establishmentarianism, feminism and acceptance of homosexuality.
Along with goths they form part of the middle-class backlash against chavs, seeking to disassociate themselves with what is seen as a working class, conventional standard, they have created their own distinct youth subculture.
Often seen on skateboards, listening to Green Day/Nirvana, moshing, wearing Vans (wide tonged skate shoes) and/or combat trousers.

Someone from suburbia who sees hippies as a way to find some identity and be "original" and can't have ideals without taking on some sort of stereotypical act. Most neo-hippies come from suburbia and don't do much to save the world other than go to concerts, smoke pot, and maybe vote democrat or for the green party. Most of them think they are outside the mainstream, while the mainstream mocks them with hippy leaning commercials and sells hippy style clothing because it's what's in and sells to those surbubia kids who want to be rebellious(go look in most stores and you will see its the in clothing). Basically, a neo-hippy is the same as a goth, a prep, whatever, and they have no originality and call themselves names like gypsy and such because they can't take a real effort to be themselves or original for that matter.
"lLook at that neo-hippie with her beads, she's such a rebel"
"That neo-hippie sure is a free spirit"
"That neo-hippie certainly isn't comforming to society"
