Often used as an insult for someone who is a liberal or has left leaning political views. It is implied that a hippie is a dirty, lazy pothead who has nothing better to do then protest.
An actual hippie can be recognized by their long hair, brightly colored clothing in unusual styles, such as bell-bottoms, tie-dye t-shirts, and dashikis. (Many Hippies made their own clothes.) They tend to wear long beaded necklaces, head bands and scarves, and sandals. The most recognizable symbol of the hippie is the Peace Sign which is usually on their clothes, jewelry or painted on automobiles.
They tend to promote, believe in or have a fondness of free love, communal living, recreational drug use, nudity, incense, music (particularly psychedelic rock, blues, and folk music), vegetarianism, holistic and natural foods, protecting the environment, and New Age type spirituality. Most of all hippies promote the ideals of Love and Peace. They do not like to conform to society.

Someone who is really laid back, can wear crazy psychodelic colours, use words like 'dude', 'trippin' and 'woa' in their everyday vocabulary.

A 'subculture' group started in the 1960s. Hippies are often characterized by a mellow attitude and anti-fascist politics. Many hippies do various drugs, but not all of them do.

Not necessarily like those which were around in the seventies (in vans taking drugs),but actually cares about the environment around them and just hopes for the most peaceful outcome.
