I haven't traveled much in the last few years so I am wondering if there are still hippies around elsewhere (aside from the original ones). They are almost gone from the Twin Cities, though there are gutter punks everywhere. Gutter punks seem to be the hippies of today.

Yeah, the only true hippies are crust punks now. Which is the same thing as 60's hippies except they wear over-alls, dreadlocks and are probably more annoying.

People with long hair. 
It's fun to make fun of (in RL). I've been called a hippy for listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival - so it's not just the hair. 
But that is basicaly because in romanian the word hippy is translated quite strangely and it kinda sounds like a curse word. But not like a bad curse word - like the kind that you use on your friends.

College students contribute much more then hippies do and they're training to be even better at it!I thought that was college students?

An insult that regularly comes my way. Besides my hair it's largely inappropriate; besides, all my friends call me Hippy.

It's traditionally spelled "hippie," for future reference.
What do I think? I think of an unshaven, left-wing, pot-smoking, neo-Luddite sixties throwback. That is my first impression.
Next in line is the "Burning Man" attendee, a person that no awareness of their own foolishness. They are in denial of living in a civilized, industrial society; their desire (only in public) is to establish a society of communal peasantry, and express this desire through their gathering.
It is a short gathering, since they can't afford to offset the difficulties of reality indefinently. Since they are spoiled by the riches of our society, they take all advantages of the capitalist system while at the same time decrying the so-called "excesses" of those that create those opportunities for them.
They're the young brainwashed of our culture, a culture that fades away after the optimism (foolishness) of their youth has been drained away by the truth of living in the Western world.
Satisfactory answer?

now i know who to thank.
anyways, i think of classic rock elitists who think that hippies made the only good music ever.
the closest thing i would have been to a hippy in the 60s would have been one of the psychedelic fans in england. pink floyd, the beatles, freakouts, etc.
meh.

In the last 30 years, there have been more abortions than war deaths.
Ban the U.S., UK, France, and Israeli bombs; the Russians and Chinese have a "right" to have them!

2. A catagory for guys with long hair (long-haired guys seem bad in general, tend to be either hippies, rock-band people, or wasted/drunken druggies)
3. People who take go with the flow too much/in a stupid way
ex- "Not my fault man, just kharma, thats all" or "Just chill and it'll come to you man, you can just feeeeel the (emotion)" or "Just do whatever, man"
4. Too environmentalist- "We can't build a house there! It might upset those non-endangered frogs in that lake over there"
5. People with modern art, all that stuff that look like blobs "Imagine all the possibilities that the artist/sculptist had"
2 Classic examples of a hippie- Spiccolli in Fast Times in Ridgemont High and Leo in That 70s Show
