The term has meant different things over the decades, from an insult towards the 60's founders to Phish Phans who were literally "dirty"and needed a shower. I see it different now.

What I see is someone who is the opposite of "real". Instead growing up and facing themselves with love and acceptance, , they hide behind their ability to manipulate, use, and/or imitate the "hippie" based culture and use it as and excuse to avoid responsibility and accountability on near every level., This character is really just a mooch in a hemp wearing, dreadlock flailing shell. They inevitably wear out their stay everywhere or get discovered for their inconsistency to be honest, true, genuine or self-contolled. Our society makes lots of these now, and while the shell persona may be diffenerent, the issues are still the same. Lack f accountability, and ownership of theri lives leaves them stagnant until they change,

A "dirty hippie" is more than likely a "neo hippie." They usually have dirty dreads, IF THEY ARE NOT A POSER..They probably dig on the Grateful Dead, Phish, and other cool jam bands. Some are artists. Some are strictly drug users. Some are homeless. Some have Jobs...BUT MOSTLY THEY HAVE SHIRTS THAT CAN STAND UP BY THEMSELVES AFTER PHISH TOUR..Patchouli sadly doesnt cover everything up
Me At one time..and some good phriends of mine...Ya gotta love em'!!!

Back in the days of the first hippies, uptights (Straights, drones) added "Dirty" in front of "hippie" to try further degredate Free Thinkers. Very simply, the straights started calling Free Thinkers "hippies" and it dinna bother them. So they started calling them "Dirty hippies" to try to get a raise out of them.
That guy asked me if I had a sister who wanted free love. The dirty hippie.

Most Dirty hippies are complete douches. They believe in earths gift (WEED) and love all music as long as it's not mainstream. you can easily spot them bye their mocha spice cappucino lattes, fake glasses, and their scarfs and hats. If you see one, yell at the top of your lungs PHISH IS SHIT!
you may not understand but they do.

I am not responsible for your injury.
