shit, i've oftened described myself as a hippie with a work ethic and hygiene. you never know what someone means when they refer to a 'hippie' or the 'hippie culture,' it's pretty subjective.
i draw distinction with this phish bashing. phish was great up to lawn boy. damn you roach. they were interesting! they were!
as far as patchoicliaudiali goes....what an awful smell. why not just say ' i haven't bathed today." ?
i think the term is essentially worn out. it's like saying 'fuck you.' it can mean so many things, that its worthless on its own, and only derives meaning from its context. bundled within the hippie group, you've got sustainability folks, you've got trustafarians, you've got college kids just smoking herb for the first time, you've got people just looking for a group to belong to. when it was seminal, it might have been more tightly defined...but now, it pretty much just stands for people who dress a certain way and are part of the 'counterculture,' not 'conforming to society.' whatever that actually means.
