I am kind of hippie. Ive always been nice and friendly like they are except not to the point I am all peaceful and as laid-back. I have always kind of had anger problems and been hyperactive in comparison so never really fit in with them - I tried. Found it just to boring and my temperant was like.
I love hippies and peace-loving people.

Peace out.

Oh, G-d, I am indeed ancient. In real life, I would be too cool to ask this, but here, I don't have to pretend, so <eek>...

What's a raver? The only image in my mind is of someone overdosing on ecstacy (the chemical kind) and getting thrown around by lots of other (sociopathic) people overdosing on ecstacy (the chemical kind). I picked up this image from watching TV, so I'm assuming it's fairly warped.

There's different kinds by different countries.

The British: People disaffected by the hollowing out of the industrial land scapes and the general hostility fostered by the IRA bombings. When Thatcher was gone and the IRA stopped their attacks, the youth took to the abandoned warehouses and fields by motorways.

The German: Two words describe them: "Love Parade", look it up. Berlin Wall falls down and people celebrate, yadda yadda.

The American and Canadian raver-types are more influenced by clubs since most electronic genres had their birth in clubs. But the ravers in the Americas gave it an edge that the British and the Europeans did not bother until later.

does it count if i *want* to get naked with strangers in the forest?

Thats good enough

Thanks, Xelebes. Great info. I like the German version best. It's much closer to the hippie energy than the others.

not all "hippies" were pacifists.

Lol I'm assuming that was directed at me. Well I do like to walk around home naked, nakedness/people seeing me naked doesn't really bother me much. Don't live near any forests though...

Yeah that the old hippie guy trick we used to played on hippie girls. It didn't work all that often but I haven't given up yet.

i don;t know if the word "hippy" can quite contain me.
it is certainly a part of me. i live like one i suppose, and livein the counter culture capital of Australia.


money is fuel - nothing more.
my paintings can sell for 1,000's but i am just as happy to give them away to people who are cool. (nesh would get one simply by virtue of being my US AS sister and starting this thread.) i am not materialistic.
i am not mainstream in any way or with any views and basically i think we should all just go and live in the bush and f#@K and make love and art, sensory integrations dysfunctions permitting!

i swim in waterholes out the back valley near myplace and the water is crystal clear and surrounded by rainforest and basically i liv ein a kind of Eden region, and i hate crowds and city and people and i reckon i am starting to sound as if i come close.....give or take a few weird kinks and a bit of unloving behaviour here and there due to meltdowns and stuff.

LOL

Seconded. Pros for trying though.

missed most of that (weren't many hippies floating around suburban NC in the 60s... 'cepting the 'people's republic of Chapel Hill'...

My parents hated them (they were so conservative they voted for Bush twice, and Nixon 5 times [52.56.60.68.72]... So whenever I tried to grow my hair, I was a 'hippie/yippie'...

That's about as close as I got. The sex sounded good, but doing farming by hand...that's hard work...

Farming by hand is GREAT! I'd take that over the sex any day. (I've done berry picking in the past and loved every minute of it) There is nothing quite like a good hard days work in natural conditions without tools or machines.

never mind pakled.....
you're still ok.
i won't hold your parents'voting history against you....
