They were there in the late 60s/early 70s...many vanished, but some carried on with their 'hippiness'. One thing I would like to know is: will hippies ever come back?

Hippies were for the most part just a bunch of sacrificial lambs following a few real hippies so that they could look cool.

The modern day version of this are "thugz" also known as  "ganstaz"

That's an interesting idea, and many people DO become slaves to fashion. Only I prefer the idea of the real hippy to the idea of 'thugz' etc...at least the hippies' music was fantastic! 1967 was a good year...

the 1960s were a good decade. So were the 70s.

the true hippie vanished quickly. Hippe comes from the African word "hep", meaning wise, and aose from the late 50's. Soon though they died out and their culture was stolen into fashion, and as Hangedman said, they became "lambs".

The hippy population of the world is slowly rising in the form of youngster pot-heads that follow Phish around the United States to all of their shows. Even though I adore Phish, I don't smoke the sweet leaf or drift from concert to concert without a clue, let alone a LIFE!!! The hippies as we knew them back in the 60s and early 70s are few and far between. After the days of the counterculture had passed, they worked at gas stations or became high school guidance counselors. These days they run used record stores or disrupt the sereneness of U.S. national parks by travelling in noisy herds on their Harley's. Some have settled down but have taken up the life of a beach-bum on weekends. Oh yeah, they also run tattoo parlors or enter the great biker buildoff contests of the Discovery Channel.

The ones that are still around evolved into granolas. the modern hippy, as our friend aqualung claims to be, is one who wants to be a part of something they were born to late to join.

I think its important for people to move past fads, and just try and work with what they have. rather than adopting a pre-fabricated persona. But *sigh* as long as there is teenagers going through identity crisis itll never happen.

Actually, redbar, not all ex-hippies work at gas stations or used record stores.  Some actually serve as moderators of music web sites...

Do you get paid to moderate this web forum? That would be the coolest job in the world. I'm sorry if I offended you about the hippy thang; I have a tendency to mindlessly succumb to stereotypes imposed on me by the media. I also thought it would kinda be funny to sound off on this thread.

Hippies? bring 'em on... I ain't cracked heads in ages. Putting freakin' flowers in my rifle barrell. I spent two hours polishing that barrell. Pachouli reekin' freaks. Why, I oughta...

I once ate an entire pepperoni pizza, halfa bag of Oreos and a gallon of milk, then drove to a White Castles hamburger joint and downed 5 burgers and two large fries, followed by an ultra super thick choclate milk shake. Yeah, those were the days... Didn't gain a pound.

They took a whole bunch of acid
So they could see where it's at
(It's over there, over there,
Over there, over there
And under here also)
Doont, da-doodem doodem!
They lived on a whole bunch of nothing
They thought they looked very good
They'd never ever worry
They were always in a hurry
To convince themselves that what they were
Was really very groovy
Yes, they believed in all the papers
And the magazines that defined their folklore
They could never laugh
At who or what they thought they were
Or even what they thought
They sorta oughta be
They were totally empty
(Totally empty)
And their lives were really useless
So what the f**k?
They didn't have no sense of humor
(Oodly-oodly-yeah!)
Now they got nothing left
To laugh about
Including themselves

Turn turn

Bprr . . . bprr . . . the year 1967
Drug-crazed youth discovered vagrancy as a way of life
EWW-WW!
Dey were mellow
Dey were yellow
Dey were wearing smelly blankets
Dey looked like DONOVAN fans
Dey walkin' 'round
With stupid flowers
In dey hair an' evvywhere
Dey tried to stuff 'em up de guns
Of all the cops and other servants of the law
(LA LA-LA-LA LA-LA)
Who tried to push 'em around
And later mowed 'em down
But they were full of all that sh*t
That they believed in
So what the f**k?


Now I seen 'em tightenin' up dey headbands
On the weekend and dey get loaded
When dey came to town
Dey walk around in GREEMICH VILLAGE
To buy posters dey could hang up
In dem smelly little secret
Black light bedrooms
On LONN-ISLAND
Singin': "JIMI COME BACK!"
Now come back and regulate de boy's FURZ-tone
Yo' HAZE was so PURPLE
It caused your AXIS to be BOLD AS LOVE
(JIMI-JIMI-JIMI-JIMI-JIMI FEED BACK)
Now Jimi gimme some feedback
Come back and feed back on my knapsack
You can feed back the fuzz tone from your WAH-WAH
While you bend down
And set your stuff on FIRE

We can turn it around
We can do it again
We can go back in time
Through the canyons of your mind
On the EVE O' DESTRUCTION
We can act like we are something really special
WOOOH, we'll just jump in the bath-tub
With that other guy JIM
And make him be more careful
We can visit Big Mama
And whap her on the back
When she eats her sandwich
(LA LA LA LA)
We can take care of Janis
When she gets so depressed
She can't take it no more
We can laugh at Keith Moon's jokes
(HA HA HA HA HA)
And the colour TV
(HA HA)
He threw out de windum
Fum de second flew-ah!
(YEAAHHHHHH!)
Everybody come back
No one can do it like you used to
If you listen to the radio
And what they play today
You can tell right away:
All those assholes really need you!
