"A self-applied term used by 21st century people who believe in some form of the 1960's hippie philosophy. Some of these are sons, daughters and grandchildren of the original hippies. Drug use is just as accepted as in the original hippie days, although most hepcats do not consider it necessary to take drugs in order to be part of the lifestyle. Some modern hippies frown upon excessive drug use because of lessons learned from the past. Some of the more conservative hippies deplore most drugs other than cannabis and psychedelics, such as LSD, magic mushrooms and salvia."

Hepcatify 

Hepcatify is a term used in the jazz scene in the 1950s to describe the act of becoming hip, cool, and sophisticated like a hepcat. To hepcatify oneself meant to embrace the latest trends, dress in stylish clothes, and develop a keen sense of music and art. It was a way of life for many young people who wanted to rebel against mainstream culture and express their individuality.
Back in the day, I used to hang out with a group of hepcats who would hepactify anyone who came into their circle.

I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately, and I really want to hepcatify my music taste. I'm going to start collecting vinyl records and attending more live shows to get into the scene.

I'm tired of blending in with the crowd. I'm going to hepcatify my fashion game and start wearing more vintage pieces and bold colors. I want to stand out and show off my unique style.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
