If you believe in a better world, one that encourages respect and equality. A world of freedom rather the repression. One where politicians and beurocrats fight for their people, not agaisnt them. You're preachin' the same ideals the hippies believed. Our current state of affairs needs more people voicing their concerns, look though out history, only if you demand these things & expand on these ideas will we ever have a worthy world. Don't allow politicians to take advantage of you anymore.
I saw the Haight st riots. Summer of 1969. Or was it 1968. But it was over. 1968 Sadie Hawkins Day in the park. Smoked hash with Alan Ginsburg! We did light shows. 1967 was the ideal year. It changed rapidly. This little documentary is good. Another big change happened in 1974. People stopped getting psych, philosophy, anthropology, etc degrees and began getting business degrees. The change was abrupt.
"Hippy 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." .... I sense two things
te hippie generation did not prevail in the end...
but it made an impact that many generations will continue to read in history books and imitate... even if you think its wrong or stupid, you gotta respect the energy this culture had... simply beautiful.
We do something by not going to war. If you and people like you joined in too, there wouldn't be any war.
I can't play guitar, by the way. I can however, build a house, cook, run a business, organize events, farm, massage, have fun, make friends, cure sick animals, debate, operate heavy machinery, shoot, drive, manage my finances, engage myself in the political and legal systems, act , read, and much more. I can also spell correctly the word NUKE.why are you an angry person?
It didn't work then because it was a bunch of people on drugs, high, not looking out for each other, too focused or unfocused on what mattered to survive. Don't tell me that we need to do all that again! We're still messed up from that, with kids still doing drugs like wannabes, but it is nothing but evil masquerading as cool. It's not good to do again. Even Ken Kesey said that it's time to move on. No going back.
If the hippies aren't gone they need to bring it back into the public spotlight. Establish communes in suburban neighbourhoods, bring peace and love to a financially bankrupt America! Obviously their government has failed them so could a new hippie lifestyle be any worse?
for trashing the troops that killed and maimed young children and women, destroyed them with a painful horrible Napalm death? for trashing the troops that went with the purpose of killing innocent humans? and even after that they fucking LOST.
anybody that willingly kills innocent deserves all the trashing they get.
@ilovecristianzuniga Nae, you don't! The hippies where just some oddities in the fringe of society, and the average mindset where so rigid and victorian so it's hard to understand why not everyone where engaged in making a revolution!? But it was beacause the average dude where to rigid and narrow minded ofcause! (acording to todays standards...)
@ilovecristianzuniga Nae, you don't! The hippies where just some oddities in the fringe of society, and the average mindset where so rigid and victorian so it's hard to understand why not everyone where engaged in making a revolution!?
It may have showed signs of rearing it's head in 1965. But i don't think it really started until 1967. A lot of the bands went through a transitional period and by 66 could see the hippie movement growing and jumped on it. Establised bands like The Byrds who started as folk rock and The Beatles who were pop rock soon evolved. But it was 67 when most hippie bands kicked off their careers! I think it died in 69 with the Manson murders, harder drugs and The Stones Altamont concert.
Well done...The movement, the social influence effected..... The spotlight of historical reflection will shine increasingly with a positive glow over the influence of the era of the hippie. And musically speaking - oh yah! The soundtrack of those years of my youth is forever the best!!!
I totally agree, I feel i should have been born back then. What I would give for the counterculture to be revamped. I think it is the duty of every pseudo-hippie to set an example for his fellow man. It is our job to get this culture back on track! Who's with me?

You'd reconize a devil when they say fuck hippies lol, how can you hate a group who believe in peace and LOVE. The only cause that can make the world better. You can't make the world better with spreading hate can you? Ok then.. Anyway anyone traveling? Come pick me up I got my guitar ready.
@420andsuch no doubt a similar time is coming along, the planets are aligning the same way they were in those times, but the same exact thing, probably not
@ximesobadassx you could, just go out and get some people with the same basic views and go out and speak your opinion (and also open your mind to expirmentation haha)
There is no born in the wrong decade. I have felt that in the past as well but the truth of the matter is that the movement is still moving. We are another generation of the same philosophy. Enjoy and love and embrace what we have. Maybe when the children of the next generation come and we have 3 generations of the same mentality we will be able to accomplish the establishment of a peaceful utopia.... Just a thought:)
I've felt that too. But the truth is that they were the beginning of the movement - they were the explosion and the birth - but it is still alive. It is changing and evolving, but it is not dead. So do not mourn it as though it is something you've missed, or that is passed. Get out and take part in it now, and you'll find out that the movement is still very much alive.
i know that it is, but i would want to have been in that part of the counterculture and the birth of it. i know that it is still evolving, but i'm just a 50-some year old living in a 16 year old body. haha the 60s is just my decade for some reason. it's just calling me.
man of course they're apart of American history but they're not gone one bit man...just look around you'll find us hiking somewhere or camping in a state park.

This is the generation that changed the world Revoloution in the streets of America Fighting to stop The Vietnam War Fighting to preserve the planet , clean the air, clean the water... Human Rights Civil Rights Equal Rights Ammendment So what have you done lately??? Easy to criticize what you perceive BUT... Your perception was wrong The World Is A Better Place thanks to a generation that believed in a dream

ya. txs to them we also got animal rights, pro abortion, pro legaliztion of drugs, etc. that was the generation that reduced morality to an object of ridicule. well i hope that my generation can right those wrongs.
So sad that you think government should legislate how to live. You need to be accountable to yourself , you don't want an abortion good don't get one, you don't like drugs good don't use them. What is sad is that you and the Religious Right Wing feel that your way of living is the only way, do us all a favor lighten up, enjoy life and stop acting so holier than thou. Jimmy Swaggert, Jim Baker , Rush (The Ultimate Idiot) Limbaugh all tell us what to do , but what is it that they all did!! Grow Up
do not tell me to grow up you simple minded idiot. abortion ends human life. if you knife your neighbor in the back you would be in jail but you can kill a helpless child with no legal repercussions. i never said government should regulate our lives. i meant that i want our generation to re-ignite a culture of intelligence and morals instead of the psuedoscientific bullshit we debunk everyday. hippies tell us we should live like neanderthals, why cant i tell others to live like intellectuals?
and last i checked, the people who act holier than thou are animal rights activists and other nut jobs who all resulted from the hippy movement. they keep trying to guilt us into doing ridiculous things that actually cause problems rather then solve them. i am not a holier than thou catholic, but i am a person who uses whats the called a brain. its nice, you should try it some time.
Sounds to me like nintendowns should go back to playing nintendo because as far as being intellectual he is clueless. Republican Right Wingers want no government intervention, less government, funny though, they want government to tell us all how to live to their standards. Their way is the only way, any other way has to be completely wrong. Who else thinks like them .... The Taliban , The Islamic Jihad and The Nazis. Guess what your ideas are obsolete and a new era is upon us.
look who is clueless, im not republican you dumbass, im an independant. your so called new era will never flourish. as long as humans have reasoning, reasoning will win.
and nice one btw, poking fun at my youtube name. because that one hasn't been pulled before. ignore the fact that i take 4 college courses and im 15 and a JUNIOR. i am an intellectual. im in the national honor society even. lets hear about your great accomplishments since you are obviously so much smarter.
No surprise to me, so much for being intellectual, you are a product of your parents , your enviroment and a recording of all those who surround you. You haven't been on the planet long enough to form your own opinions on anything, when you truly become a proggressive thinker an innovator instead of a repeater we can talk. Enjoy your journey through life, try not to judge what you don't understand.
i dont think for myself? i supported OBAMA, someone liberal even though im conservative. thats not thinking for myself? stop passing judgement on me, because despite your thinking optherwise, you do not know everything, especially anything about me. i form my own opinions on everything. i tell other people MY opinions, not the other way around. the only thing i shall repeat is this,"i am a person who uses whats the called a brain. its nice, you should try it some time."
there is nothing open-minded about voting for obama, his policies are the same as everyone elses. bigger government, increase troops in afghanistan, not challenging the fiat money system. just a clone with a different face
first of all you ignored my other criticisms of him and second of all why do you need to fight there? is it osama, do you really think mre troops will find him and plus apparently hes in pakistan anyway.
thats hardly thinking independent of them. actually quite the opposite. that is the 'rebel without a cause' way of thinking. going against someone else's opinion is not forming your own it is just contrasting theirs.
wow uve missed the point entirely. ok let me explain. my choice for candidate was naither based on others opinions or just a rebel mindset that opposes the common opinion. my opinion is mine, made up by myself, and is independent of other opinions. that clear and unambiguous enough for you to stop twisting?
what about you? every thing you spouted from your mouth ive heard a hundred other times from every other hippy. are you not copying the words of the hippy movement?i grew up in a generation of rap, promiscuous sex, and hippies. i surpassed all of that with MY own opinions. i like classical music and jazz. iseverly oppose alternative medicine, and try to convince my mom to do the same. im porbably one of the most independent of my generation. think before you spout your next comment of bullshit.
well im probably two yers older than you, and i felt the same way you did once, acually when i was about 15, i grew up conservative and all that stuff, always been an itellectual, and always felt my generation was a bunch of retards. Now i'm a little bit older and i've came to realize that you can put every ounce of your brain into fighting someone about your opposing beleifs, but your not really gonna change anyone till they see a light for themselves. im runnin out of room so i'll continue.
anyways after i came to this realization i became a very progressive thinker. i opened up my mind to all sorts of possibilities and ways of living i used to cling to government i used to defend society but i came to realize society was my operating system and I love my country but our government needs to go. we dont have to live like neandrathals all we have to do is love and help one another no matter what they beleive if we all did that all social problems would cease Peace brother
you will rarely find someone as skeptical as the government as i. but a govt. is neccesary. if there is no governemnt there is no portection. think about it. who will stop all 0our enemies from coming here and massacring us? its that simple. we need a governemtn to protect us and we need the right to arms to protect our rights .
A government is no needed for human beings to live peacefully. People are perfectly able to protect themselves and their investments if one truely wishes to do so. Government is just a useless form of order in a world where nothing need work in a structure. Systems don't have to be in place for live and people to function, they just will. And a government is the only reason we have enemies in the first place. Countries and borders are invisible boundries that generate hate beyond imagining.
wake up. america has resources and enemies. what do you think will happen? which army will stop our enemies? which government will establish allies? think. i will say it again. THINK!
outside lands festival in golden gate park this yearmade me feel like sumthng bigger... like a movement like it once was... unbeleivable can onyl describe it
i dont think the hippie movement is dead..many people still are hippies a lot of young people such as myself live in a very hippie way.I agree that it is not as strong as before but many generation x ers who were kids of hippies became hippies too.i dont really live like a hipster I live like a hippie and I share the ideals language and fashion so its not dead for me
it doesn't matter what you claim yourself to be. "i am what i am". - popeye. if you were a yuppie, and you said you were a yuppie, you'd still be a yuppie. if you were a cop, and you said you were a cop, you'd still be a pig.
Just putting the Word out to Everybody! There's gonna be a Summer of Love this year around the bay area in California starting this spring! Come to San Francisco! Bring your friends! This generation is finally starting to find itself! Everybody is welcome! There's a movement growing out there... it's time our elders see what this generation can do. I'll see you at the Haight this year! Peace!
man , listen , this is coming back , grow your hair everyone , its fukin coming back , ill see you in san fransisco . in may 2008 . be there and bring your fukin guitars anmd chicks . peace ...............
we're all wired into a survival trip now. none of that fuel that fueled the 60's. that was the fatal flaw in tim learys trip, running around selling conciousness expansion unaware of the grim meathook realities that lay ahead. his loss, is ours too.
Anyone who want to change the world, lets all converge on california and come out and have a sit down and think together. bring some cash, but be ready to share with everyone. EVERYONE is invited, but we should all agree to promote peace and harmony. (oh and no fighting, cause that's what messed up woodstock 99.) What do you guys think?
Yeah that would be a great thing, something positive. It would also show the entire world that not all of us Americans are for power, death and destruction (war, famine and global warming). I was born during the "hippie era" but if I was older, I would have been one, at least promoting love and peace. Too bad the world and people's attitudes have gone down the infamous pooper.
The philosophy is the same: anarchy, free love, no war, etc...unless you're talking about straightedge where the only difference is no drugs, no sex, more conformity.
that we verbalize that it needs to be fixed, as you have, says we can. You lead this time ;) I believe in you. Let's all go green asap how bout it. lets not compete lets progress, let's help each by sharing a ride, let's be like neighborly and exchange real homade recipies. WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
Great generation were the 60s and early 70s, Now we live in the most conservative me myself generation. Nothings original. Young people are aggressive, negative consumerites. Tragic!

pghpa611 3 years ago
do not tell me to grow up you simple minded idiot. abortion ends human life. if you knife your neighbor in the back you would be in jail but you can kill a helpless child with no legal repercussions. i never said government should regulate our lives. i meant that i want our generation to re-ignite a culture of intelligence and morals instead of the psuedoscientific bullshit we debunk everyday. hippies tell us we should live like neanderthals, why cant i tell others to live like intellectuals?

and last i checked, the people who act holier than thou are animal rights activists and other nut jobs who all resulted from the hippy movement. they keep trying to guilt us into doing ridiculous things that actually cause problems rather then solve them. i am not a holier than thou catholic, but i am a person who uses whats the called a brain. its nice, you should try it some time.

Sounds to me like nintendowns should go back to playing nintendo because as far as being intellectual he is clueless. Republican Right Wingers want no government intervention, less government, funny though, they want government to tell us all how to live to their standards. Their way is the only way, any other way has to be completely wrong. Who else thinks like them .... The Taliban , The Islamic Jihad and The Nazis. Guess what your ideas are obsolete and a new era is upon us.

look who is clueless, im not republican you dumbass, im an independant. your so called new era will never flourish. as long as humans have reasoning, reasoning will win.

the fact that you automatically assume im republican because im conservative just proves that you are the one with a holier than thou attitude.

and nice one btw, poking fun at my youtube name. because that one hasn't been pulled before. ignore the fact that i take 4 college courses and im 15 and a JUNIOR. i am an intellectual. im in the national honor society even. lets hear about your great accomplishments since you are obviously so much smarter.
nintendowns 3 years ago
No surprise to me, so much for being intellectual, you are a product of your parents , your enviroment and a recording of all those who surround you. You haven't been on the planet long enough to form your own opinions on anything, when you truly become a proggressive thinker an innovator instead of a repeater we can talk. Enjoy your journey through life, try not to judge what you don't understand.
pghpa611 3 years ago
i dont think for myself? i supported OBAMA, someone liberal even though im conservative. thats not thinking for myself? stop passing judgement on me, because despite your thinking optherwise, you do not know everything, especially anything about me. i form my own opinions on everything. i tell other people MY opinions, not the other way around. the only thing i shall repeat is this,"i am a person who uses whats the called a brain. its nice, you should try it some time."
nintendowns 3 years ago
there is nothing open-minded about voting for obama, his policies are the same as everyone elses. bigger government, increase troops in afghanistan, not challenging the fiat money system. just a clone with a different face
bonfirejovi 3 years ago
actually he want more troops in afghanistan cause we actually need to fight there unlike iraq.
nintendowns 3 years ago
first of all you ignored my other criticisms of him and second of all why do you need to fight there? is it osama, do you really think mre troops will find him and plus apparently hes in pakistan anyway.
bonfirejovi 3 years ago
by voting for obama i meant that i went against what most people around me were thinking and therefore i think independently of them.
nintendowns 3 years ago
thats hardly thinking independent of them. actually quite the opposite. that is the 'rebel without a cause' way of thinking. going against someone else's opinion is not forming your own it is just contrasting theirs.
mykeyopens 3 years ago
wow uve missed the point entirely. ok let me explain. my choice for candidate was naither based on others opinions or just a rebel mindset that opposes the common opinion. my opinion is mine, made up by myself, and is independent of other opinions. that clear and unambiguous enough for you to stop twisting?
nintendowns 3 years ago
what about you? every thing you spouted from your mouth ive heard a hundred other times from every other hippy. are you not copying the words of the hippy movement?i grew up in a generation of rap, promiscuous sex, and hippies. i surpassed all of that with MY own opinions. i like classical music and jazz. iseverly oppose alternative medicine, and try to convince my mom to do the same. im porbably one of the most independent of my generation. think before you spout your next comment of bullshit.
nintendowns 3 years ago
well im probably two yers older than you, and i felt the same way you did once, acually when i was about 15, i grew up conservative and all that stuff, always been an itellectual, and always felt my generation was a bunch of retards. Now i'm a little bit older and i've came to realize that you can put every ounce of your brain into fighting someone about your opposing beleifs, but your not really gonna change anyone till they see a light for themselves. im runnin out of room so i'll continue.
Maty0269 3 years ago
anyways after i came to this realization i became a very progressive thinker. i opened up my mind to all sorts of possibilities and ways of living i used to cling to government i used to defend society but i came to realize society was my operating system and I love my country but our government needs to go. we dont have to live like neandrathals all we have to do is love and help one another no matter what they beleive if we all did that all social problems would cease Peace brother
Maty0269 3 years ago
you will rarely find someone as skeptical as the government as i. but a govt. is neccesary. if there is no governemnt there is no portection. think about it. who will stop all 0our enemies from coming here and massacring us? its that simple. we need a governemtn to protect us and we need the right to arms to protect our rights .
nintendowns 3 years ago
A government is no needed for human beings to live peacefully. People are perfectly able to protect themselves and their investments if one truely wishes to do so. Government is just a useless form of order in a world where nothing need work in a structure. Systems don't have to be in place for live and people to function, they just will. And a government is the only reason we have enemies in the first place. Countries and borders are invisible boundries that generate hate beyond imagining.

it doesn't matter what you claim yourself to be. "i am what i am". - popeye. if you were a yuppie, and you said you were a yuppie, you'd still be a yuppie. if you were a cop, and you said you were a cop, you'd still be a pig.

we're all wired into a survival trip now. none of that fuel that fueled the 60's. that was the fatal flaw in tim learys trip, running around selling conciousness expansion unaware of the grim meathook realities that lay ahead. his loss, is ours too.
davetoporek 4 years ago
Anyone who want to change the world, lets all converge on california and come out and have a sit down and think together. bring some cash, but be ready to share with everyone. EVERYONE is invited, but we should all agree to promote peace and harmony. (oh and no fighting, cause that's what messed up woodstock 99.) What do you guys think?

Yeah that would be a great thing, something positive. It would also show the entire world that not all of us Americans are for power, death and destruction (war, famine and global warming). I was born during the "hippie era" but if I was older, I would have been one, at least promoting love and peace. Too bad the world and people's attitudes have gone down the infamous pooper.

a question: is it possible for punks and hippies to get along ?

The two are the same. Punks just tend to be more into the urban scene while hippies are more rural.
