A Hippie is an individual who dresses alike, talks alike, smells alike in a movement against conformity.
A Hippie is one who wears his hair long like Tarzan, walks like Jane, and smells like Cheeta.
Hippie is an establishment label for a profound, invisible, underground, evolutionary process. For every visible hippy, barefoot, beflowered, beaded, there are a thousand invisible members of the turned-on underground. Persons whose lives are tuned in to their inner vision, who are dropping out of the TV comedy of American Life.
A Hippie is a living fossil specimen from the late 1960s, formerly widespread but now confined in its habitat to selected rural hamlets where handicrafts and organic farming predominate; field marks include a luxuriant mane (now graying), scruffy plumage and a mellow demeanor that suggests continued familiarity with the weed cannabis.
The Hippie is responsible for starting the ecology movement, combating racism, liberating sexual stereotypes, encouraging pride and self-confidence, questioning robot materialism, getting marijuana decriminalized, and stopping the Vietnam War in four years.
