Hippies are a primitive breed of human which came about through non-selective breeding and inbreeding which happened during the 1960's in many parts of America and the Western World in general. Distinguishing features among Hippies are long, uncombed hair; bright colored clothing; lack of footwear; jewelry consisting of beads and/or small pebbles held together by twine; and general uncleanliness. Many male Hippies also wear long beards.
Hippies are technologically challenged and have a limited grasp of simple machinery. As such they are usually seen operating bicycles, guitars, and older model automobiles which are often in a state of severe disrepair.
Hippies live in Communes which are small to medium sized villages consisting of primitive dwellings which may house as many as fifty to seventy-five individuals. Some Hippies will work to feed the larger group, however most spend their days lounging about, listening to music, using drugs, and mating in a random manner. Some Hippies engage in agricultural activity, namely the growing of their "Sacred Herb", a minor narcotic known as Marijuana.
There have been several large Hippie migrations in past years, however current populations are remaining sedentary with only a select few still traveling about the country. Some of these groups have splintered from the main species and are now called "Phishheads" in reference to their worship of a God called "Phish", in contrast to the traditional Hippie pantheon which consisted of an organization known as the "Grateful Dead".
Because of their unresponsible breeding habits and general lack of hygene, Hippies are known to carry many diseases. However Hippies are by and large harmless.
Hippies have no known predators: however there are several groups who they regularly come into conflict with. Namely the Fuzz, Squares, and Punks.

Get the hippie mug.The quintessential child from the "Me Generation". Gross, unhygienic, unhelpful, hobos in the 1960's and 70's. You can usually find them ranting and raving about non-issues, doing mind altering drugs, or getting AIDS from orgies in the forest. Usually the spawn of wealthy families, they decide that they hate their dad and want to be "different" so they run off to California to "experience life".
You can usually find them now at an incense shop or at a public school, as many of them became teachers to avoid the draft.
Modern day hippies who are not Boomers can be found in New Orleans around Mardi Gras. They will usually play some sort of instrument or sing in a raspy ruined voice that sounds like it is from a commercial advocating for people to stop smoking. They will ask anyone who walks by for money while they defecate on public side walks.

Hippie: "Heyy man, can I get some change?"
Me: "Please stop laying down in the middle of the sidewalk and begging every passerby for money."
Hippie: "Where's the love, man? Didn't you hear me play my guitar? People are just so materialistic and selfish nowadays, all I want is for society and people to expand their minds and see life from a different perspective. We're killing mother nature and no one seems to care. (blah, blah, blah, so on and so forth)"

Get the Hippie mug.Related Words
A sorry excuse for a human being see dumbass, a hippie is the smelliest and most doped up type of human being that walks the earth. Although hippies somehow believe they live for a cause and their vision of peace will somehow be reached, they are just too high on acid and pot to realize that while they are conducting their stupid jam band festivals and drum circles peace is far, far, away and they smell way, way, too much.
Person 1: Hey man whats up with these hippies thinking that growing hair to excessive lengths, and making jam bands will create world peace.
Person 2: I don't know but they smell.
Person 2: I don't know but they smell.

Get the hippie mug.An old man or woman from the 60's. Enjoys smoking pot and wearing odd multi-color t-shirts. Insists that world peace can be achieved, when it is such a far-fetched and unattainable dream. In other words, a fucking moron.
"Damn Harvey, look at that group of hippies over there. Their dropping their marijuana on the crops. Wanna run them over with the truck?"
"The group of hippies protesting in Washington D.C. had on so many tye-die t-shirts, the general populace was immediately blinded when looking at them."

Lisa is such a hippie; she named her first born child "Sunshine" and chooses to live off the grid without electricity because she believes that a few people polluting less is going to have a tangible effect on the environment. She doesn't have a job and doesn't actively contribute to the world around her; but she does find plenty of time to criticize corporate America and the general public for raping our land of its resources.
by Southpark Hippie Definition February 18, 2009
Get the Hippie mug.A person who is content to throw away the idea of fitting to society's norms (such as money orientation, rigorous maintenance of appearance, suppression of emotion) in order to find balance and discover who they are and how to make themselves happy. They try doing this without treading on others' happiness.
True hippies also do not judge others that are not like them, as they know that everyone has their place in the world. Their place is to try and balance competition, war, and the mass consumption of the earth's resources. They only preach this due to the belief that there aren't enough like minded people to achieve that balance needed to prevent humanity from self-destruction due to world wars, and a lack of earth's sustenance.
Spreading peace and love ideology: Originates from a self-interested philosophy of gratification, as does nearly everything we do. However, as we become adults and develop relationships and emotions for people in our lives, the simple, self centered theory complicates greatly.
Most people want to be happy in life and find that people being happy around them helps to achieve this (sociopaths aside) so hippies tend to promote this feeling of well being. Making others happy around us is in all of our best interests.
Communal Living: Much to do with the peace and love philosophy, we are surrounding ourselves with happy, like minded individuals.
As most of the population are naturally social creatures and work together to achieve things that would be very difficult to do as individuals, we the human race have been survivors throughout history (while we slowly kill the rest of the world in order to survive and thrive). Communes are a natural response to the human desire to be and work together, as well as to conserve resources.
"Technologically impaired, dirty, broke": As addressed in the commune section, we are, at this point not even slowly killing the rest of the world so that we can survive as a species. This is a well backed scientific conclusion.
The minimalist philosophy suggests that we use only what we need for our survival and happiness, and against common believe, we don't need toys and closets of clothing and brand new cars , etc., to be happy. We feel otherwise because we are afraid of judgement.
Not to say this is a bad thing, this is also natural, it aids in competitiveness which is a motivating drive that has been essential in our survival.
Tie-dye: Most common three users I have crossed paths with are 1. People who use it to express who they are and what they believe and try to promote this, or at least warn others they come in contact with beforehand, as it is a pretty common symbol of the hippie religion :).
2. People who want you to think they are a hippie without actually believing, or acting upon the beliefs.
3. People who don't know or care exactly what the tie dye flag represents, but utilize it for the colors. These users often are genetically void of fashion sense.
Holistic healing: As non-mainstreamers are very aware, alternative views can go overlooked, and are often ridiculed. Supporting probiotics and alkaline diets, etc., that are also overlooked and ridiculed is second nature-having first hand experience with mass rejection, you fucking stand up for your own.
Also, many people ridicule these theories because they are not backed by science, but they aren't disproved. Anyway, this is a whole different fucking essay. Medical companies are not evil for the most part, but they can only do so much, all of which requires funding. Investors don't invest in things like preventative medicine and natural healing, as there is little to no return. So the likelihood of concluding these theories anytime soon is very low.
Hazes and trips: Most commonly one of the following: As wine, cheese and baguettes are to the french, hallucinogens and joints are to hippies. This is simply cultural practice, used for enjoyment and unity.
As peyote was to the native americans, hallucinogens and joints are to hippies. They are used to enhance personal spirituality, achieve an enlightened state, induce revelations of the spiritual state of the world, connections between anything and everything.
Often, one person will have different experiences and different purposes depending. Sometimes, these substances are like (or combined with) tv for the average american. Used to distract from the pain of boredom, isolation, regret, general dissatisfaction with life. Used to make friends more easily. Hippies are cheerful, but they have bad times just like everyone else.
Hypocritical: Everyone is this way about some things at some point, usually often. Most of us try not to be, but this is inevitable as we are inconsistent by nature, causing us to say and do things we don't believe in, change our minds, misunderstand what we are saying or doing, or some days just run out of energy and not give a shit. Happens to the best of us, and the ability to change and adjust daily not only causes us to be hypocrites sometimes, but also enables us to survive-deal with our surroundings and experiences, grow as people, advance our thought processes. It is an ugly and beautiful thing, much like your parents having sex to make you.

Get the hippie mug.A unique breed of dirty, smelly people who don't believe in bathing. They also believe everything is wrong, but they offer no solutions. Due to their vegan diet their cerebral cortex is much weaker and consequently more inferior than that of the normal human being's.
