The subject of concern whom
may be known as a "Hippyster" displays characteristics of both Hippies (peace loving,
weed fueled nature culture that expanded from the 60's) and then the Hipsters (the uber cool and
hip beatniks who often wallow in their ostentatiousness).
Common traits of Hippysters that are shared by both parent cultures.
*Love of cheap
alcohol (PBR for hipsters / $2 Buck Chuck for hippies)
*Always profusely smoking (Whether tobacco or
weed)
*Thoroughly enjoys
music (Whether drum circles or
indie electro)
*Wears clothing from a long retired era (60's or 80's fashions)
*Very political (Peaceful protests or passive agressive Facebook status updates)
*Using bicycles for transportation (Both usually cannot afford cars but Hippies do it for nature. Hipsters do it to test the integrity of their ultra tight jeans)
They are most likely seen around Portland, Oregon but can also have the negative sides of each parent culture (Pretentiousness, drug addiction,
Bad Patchouli smells, or just generally annoying).
Person A: "
Sam Farraday is such a Hippyster, I can't believe he is being
pretentious about hopping a freight train."
Person B: "Yeah most of his
friends are also Hippyster's. They spend their unemployment checks at REI and American Apparel."
