Probably the greatest thing ever to happen to the 1960's yes they smoked Marijuana and did LSD but their message of Peace and Love was the truth and also responsible for great events such as Monterey Pop and Woodstock which featured music legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and The Who

a hippie (plural hippies) are a subculture of people who are against the government and they aim to create a total collectivist society. If you have no clue what a total collectivist society is, read the book anthem by ayn rand. Hippies were first thought upon as gross disgusting anticapitalist morons. In todays society, being a "hippie" is cool. However, people today do not know the hippie ideals. They just do it for the fashion and believe whatever garbage is on the news. Hippies have no idea of what patriosim is.
PS. to the people who call me a "sheep" notice how many people are green and that im not green.

When my friend stepped off the bus comming home from Iraq, some old hippie in the crowd threw an egg at him. The hippie threw an egg at an american hero. If that american hero wasnt there as well as his brothers, planes would be crashing into american citys. hippies have no morals.

A Hippie is a person who was raised under the ideological system that came out of the tumultuous 1960's in North America and western Europe. They are either of the flower-child/baby boomer generation or that generations' subsequent offspring. They possess a core belief set revolving around the values of peace and love as being essential in an increasingly globalized society, and they are oftentimes associated with non-violent anti-governmental groups. There is a stigma of drug abuse attached to the hippies that is prevalent to this day, specifically the use and abuse of marijuana and hallucinagens. Many rock movements,poets, artists, and writers from the 1960's to today have associated with this movement, most prominently The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Phish. There are others too numerous to name. The movement, then and now, is considered a sub-culture by sociologists that associates itself with the left in all its political opinions. The conservative right often berates and abuses the opinions of people who associate themselves with the hippie movement and/or lifestyle, as the consider it dangerous and degenerative to a society to favor liberalism to such an extent.
"When we heard about the hippies, the barely more than boys and girls who decided to try something different... we laughed at them. We condemned them, our children, for seeking a different future. We hated them for their flowers, for their love, and for their unmistakable rejection of every hideous, mistaken compromise that we had made throughout our hollow, money-bitten, frightened, adult lives."

One who looks upon all of these negative definitions and shakes his head thinking how sad it must be to no longer have the ability to dream of a world that we were all taught to strive for as children. One who loves everyone without prejudice.

a person who has a bright outlook on life. They are usually kind, gernerous, caring and loving etc. Most hippies do care about the environment and are willing to protect and/or improve it. They also have a peaceful presence about themselves. This means that their mind is in a peaceful state. However it should be noted that not all hippies do drugs. You can still be a hippy without the drugs.
That hippy cares about the environment.
