What is hyperbole

Not sure if you are asking me to define this word for you or whether you are actually trying to suggest that they are actually being sensible in describing '60s hippies as 'Satan worshipers' who literally worshiped the actual Devil. Like I say, ascribing imaginary vices to your opponents to bolster your argument just makes one look ridiculous and less credible when it comes to attacking their real ones. Its just common sense.

Yes, you did interpret my comment correctly.

As far as your answer, “...they are actually being sensible in describing ‘60s hippies as ‘Satan worshipers’ who literally worshiped the actual Devil[?]”

I am not sure you actually read the statement: “Many of the rock musicians they followed belonged to Eastern religious cults or practiced Satan worship”

It ascribed some rock musicians, not hippies per se, as practicing Satan worship.

You think that’s not true?
