"Hippie or Hippy (1966) n. A member of the late 1960s counterculture who sought spontaneity, direct personal relations expressing love, and expanded consciousness, often expressed externally in the wearing of casual, folksy clothing (used garments, beads, headbands, sandals, flowers, etc.) Descended directly from the word hip a black coinage of the late 1930s" -David Wallechinsky's Twentieth Century; History with the Boring Parts Left Out


"Hippies started the ecology movement. They combated racism. They liberated sexual stereotypes, encouraged change, individual pride, and self-confidence. They questioned robot materialism. In four years they managed to stop the Vietnam War. They got marijuana decriminalized in fourteen states during the Carter Administration." - Timothy Leary, Chaos and Cyberculture


"Davy Jones: I wear love beads, and I'm not a hippie. Charlie gave me these.

Peter Tork: You are too a hippie. You wear beads, you're a hippie. You got long hair, you're a hippie."

-The Monkees

Though I'd hardly be described as a "hippie", I have a lot of respect for people who are even now attempting to live the hippie ideal. (The term "hippie" is thought demeaning by some who would be considered to fit the description; I feel that it shouldn't be, because the label has come to be associated with a wealth of positive values in the three decades since it was coined. Sure it's a label; every word in our language is a "label", when applied to anything specific - right, "reader"? The tone of the person using the label is all-important.)- The Electric Druid Homepage

"..To be a hippie you must believe in Peace as the way to resolve differences among peoples, ideologies and religions. The way to peace is through love and tolerance. Loving means accepting others as they are, giving them freedom to express themselves and not judging their behaviors according to a narrow definition. This is the core of the hippie philosophy. Freedom is the paramount virtue in this system. Freedom to do as one pleases, go where the flow takes you, and being open to new experiences... The way of the hippie never died, or went underground or was rediscovered. There have always been hippies from the first time society laid down rules, to Henry David Thoreau, to John Lennon, to you and me... So being a hippie is not a matter of dress, behavior, economic status, or social milieu. It is a philosophical approach to life that emphasizes freedom, peace, love and a respect for others and the earth. As hippies age they come to terms with the same situations all humans must face. Wiser than before, let’s help the younger hippies find a way to save the earth and achieve more freedom than we could ever dream of. Let’s embrace the internet, unite on the web, and become all we are destined to be." -Skip, The Hippyland Homepage
