Because, they believed in something so profound and world changing that they deiced to fight to make it reality. Nowadays you can't get anyone up off their fat lazy arse without 3 energy drinks. Sure a lot of hippies did drugs. When you get into college, that kinda becomes the norm, everyone smokes pot, does pills, ect... at least once in their life. I look beyond the drugs and sex and see that they wanted a better world for everyone. But those with money liked were they were and decided to ******** things up good for everyone else. This is why we live in such shitty times. I hope in time, those hippie kids from back in the day can make a bit of difference.

Yeah. I've noticed that, too, and I ditto that completely. Actually, I like to consider myself a hippie, I do. And I'm serious. This due to the same moral views and that I totally support what they did and their music and their culture and clothes (I like to dress like one). So, yeah. I'm a hippie. No s**t. But I don't go crazy on LSD, definetly don't stink, and I'm not jobless and idiotic. I'm a hippie, still. Who cares what society thinks? Isn't the hippie movement really AGAINST the modern society (or it was in the 60s-70s)? I'm a hippie and I don't fit into the drinking and drug stereotype. No kidding. And I'm proud of it.

Because rebellion is so cool. dramallama

I can't actually rebel, man. The hippie movement is over. I just am not into the mainstream, where probably half the people are. I rebel in my ideas.

Oh I get it. The same way how some people aren't racist; they just don't like black people.

That... I think is still racist. I mean if they don't like BLACK people in particular, then yeah. That's still racist.

Sarcasm, stupid.
