Also dead on about the South Park "Die Hippie Die" episode is the portrayal of hippies as constantly giggling idiotically.

PING!

Just plain sad.

Nuthin left to do but power up the hippie drill and crank up some Slayer.

I'm glad I was a hippie!

[Have you washed your underwear yet?]

We have a friend whose husband was a hippie. He is now working in oilfield operations. His hearing is shot from all the loud music he listened to in his youth.

They still walk among us.

The non-reality mode folks seeking to avoid the mess that they’ve created...

[lefty-lie-spy]

Hehe, nice. Slayer has been one of my favorite bands for the last 30 years. South Park rules. \m/(. .)\m/

There were some very good episodes of King of the Hill that featured hippies too.

One episode showed how smelly hippies had taken over Hank’s secret wooded area where he took his annual fishing/camping vacation. They tried to convert Bobby to the commune but, if I recall, Hank devised some type of plan to make them WORK. GASP!
Anyhow the hippies would have no part of that and left. In their wake they left behind mounds of trash, trampled muddy fields that used to be grass.

That reminds me of a ‘before & after’ picture of a field where a bunch of hippies were to have a ‘environmental awareness’ concert for global warming. The first image shows a beautiful field of green grass and trees. The ‘after’ shot shows the field trampled and muddy with literally THOUSANDS of plastic water bottles and other trash laying around.

Most of these idiots forget that the Hippies were also against big government and the police state. In that respect, at least, the Hippies of the 60s were more conservative than the wannabes of today.

60s definition of hippie;

A guy who looks like a Jill and smells like a John.

Yellow Submarine? LOL

This is what George Harrison said about Haight - Ashbury and "Hippies".

Here's an ancient article from here about one of the greatest myths of hippieness;

The Woodstock Myth

Grow an all-organic garden, and buy whatever other food I need at the local co-op. But the virtual experience is nowhere near close to approximating the real experience.

Of course, using that Obunga provided EBT card is part of the complete experience now, eh?

If anyone wants to get the info on what actually went on in the sixties, read Jonathan Leaf's "The Politically Incorrect Guide To The Sixties." There were actually very few real hippies. Only a very tiny percentage of the population were actually living, breathing hippies who lived on communes or who stay stoned all day.

But hippies got a lot of publicity because they were so far from normal. A lot of teens and young adults smoked a little dope, but they used it like liquor. They didn't live the hippie life though, and most went on to a typical sedate life like their parents.

The hippies disliked killing,they detested war. Make love not war was their chant

Then why did they carry about the flag of North Vietnam if they were against war? Why didn't they demand that BOTH sides of the Viet Nam conflict lay down their weapons? Why didn't they protest and cry "WAR CRIME" when millions were butchered after the fall of South Vietnam?

Peace movement my butt.

Money was not important beyond survival and you always shared bread and bed to those who needed them.

Robert Crumb and others were on welfare. And the price of sharing a bed was some of that "free love" and some crabs.

[a fool in paradise]

And money wasn't important to the Trust Fund hippies.

The so-called leaders of the youth movement (Jerry Rubin, Timothy Leary, and others) were neither young nor poor.

As kids we never knew who was in the bathroom. Just wait patiently and maybe bang on the door if they are taking an unreasonable amount of time.

Just BJ Clinton finishing one off at the sink.

Which reminds me, what’s orange and looks good on a hippy?

[a fool in paradise]

Fire.
