I'm a big hippy. I love to eat natural foods and go for hikes, I constantly buck against authority and protest things like war and out of control government and corporations, but I bathe regularly, am clean-shaven with short hair, and I wear clothes that are made of regular materials and not hemp. I'm a modern hippy.

I blame Nixon and Cartman for turning the term into a negative. Not only do I not see it as a negative, but I see it as a positive. Thomas Jefferson was a hippy. Think about that.

I think the best characterization of the liberals who could be called hippys today would be neo-hippy.
