hippies vs longhairs
It was an absolutely beautiful day today! The sun is shining bright, the sky is clear and there were a million people on campus today. Everyone was out in the oval playing frisbee, reading or just soaking up the sun.
As I was walking I heard a girl say “I love how the nice weather brings out all the hippies.”
I looked around expecting to see some people playing hackie sack or passing a J around. No, none of that. I did see a group of long-hair granola looking people, but that was it.
It made me think, since when does long hair equal hippy. My man used to have long hair and people would call him hippy. He is in no way hippy. He is what I would classify as a greaser. He just happened to like long hair and he also said it kept the ladies away. And he thinks that he is so good-looking that he needed a lady deterrent. (he is very good-looking, but please)
I looked up the word hippy.
Wikipedia says this
Hippie (often spelled hippy, especially outside the United States) is a term originally used to describe some of the rebellious youth of the 1960s and 1970s, although there is currently a neo-hippie movement (these neo-hippies hold the same beliefs and values as the hippies of the 1960s and 1970s). The word hippie was popularized by the late San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen
I personally think of hippies as lovers of life. There are two guys on the amazing race that everyone calls hippies, and they are…to me. They are fun loving and kind, and seem to be about peace.
What do you think? Does a long hair equal a hippy or is a hippy a state of mind and a way of living?
Happy 4/20 everyone.
Here is my opoin Long Hair does not equal hippy but nasty ass dreadlocks do, if they are on a white guy, not being racist here but african americans can get away with dreads because they have the hair for it. white poeple with dreads are just nasty filthy hippy’s and imo hippy’s of the 60 and 70 actaully got off their lazy pot smokin asses and did somthing to protest the problems they had, but the hippys of nowadays do nothing but get high and play hacky sak and bicth about how they are gettin a raw deal i personally can’t stand the hippy of the 21st centry they only care about music festivals, gettin high, themselves, and wearing petruly to cover the nasty smell of their un showered ass’s they are a bunch of lazy fuck ups

I knew hippies and they weren’t like the wannabe’s there are now - most hippies were extremely liberal in what they believed in and how they acted - they knew how to have real fun.
