Eco-smugness:

Lisa: Oh, the earth is the best! That's why I'm a vegetarian.
Jesse: Heh. Well, that's a start.
Lisa: Uh, well, I was thinking of going vegan.
Jesse: [chuckles] I'm a level 5 vegan -- I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.
Lisa: Wow. Um ... I started an organic compost pile at home.
Jesse: Only at home? You mean you don't pocket-mulch?

The produce nothing useful whatsoever.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

yeah but the same can be said for 75% of humans

[foreverbeach.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that 75% is at least trying.

[foreverbeach.livejournal.com]

Hippie fuck.

[goldfischegirl.livejournal.com]

indiscriminant touchy/feelyness regardless of how short a time they may have known you.

inviting their friends everywhere... to your get-togethers, parties, etc.

MOOCHING.

drum circles.

outrageous political plights / totally uninteresting zines

etc etc etc

"pocket-mulch" = hahahahaa

[vaysha.livejournal.com]

hahahaha...pocket mulching!
I love it.

[vaysha.livejournal.com]

hey I resemble that first sentence and I blamed it on being Italian.

[goldfischegirl.livejournal.com]

there's a definite difference. i like touchy feely storytelling and hellos, but not the sit way too close to you and offer you backrubs bullshit.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

i think SOMEONE is confused with ravers

[goldfischegirl.livejournal.com]

fine line. verrrrrrrrry fine line.

[duckierose.livejournal.com]

They think patchouli smells good.

It smells like dirty hippie.

[almosttruth.livejournal.com]

they STINK and refuse to SHOWER!

EWW!!

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

what do you think "bad hygiene" means

[almosttruth.livejournal.com]

They don't brush their teeth too.

OH GOD THE DRUM CIRCLES

Look guys, I've been playing drums for 18 years now. It takes talent and skill to sound good. Buying a $250 faux-authentic djembe at the head shop does not qualify you to represent yourself as a musician.

Self-martyrdom

The only hippies I've ever known have all been privileged white kids and felt by wearing hemp and sandals they were rebelling against their parents who were "corporate whores."

[scarlett723.livejournal.com]

My favorite is that at protests they yell at the police and otherwise provoke them and then wonder why they get arrested. That sort of goes with the breaking laws indiscriminately, but not quite.

oh and Dustin wants me to add this:

I remember growing up with hippie kids and they were a bunch of closet sugar addicts. Their parents would say, "ooooo sugar is the devil. Have some carob". The kids knew they were being gypped. The second they got into school (unless they were put in the local hippie private school) they would make friends with all the kids who ate a lot of processed food. I knew one girl who would take her allowance and buy donuts like crazy. Over the years she gained a bit of weight because of it. See hippie parents just do their kids no favors.

Can I also mention the assholes who name their kids Butterfly, Canyon, Snowhawk and December?

Dammit I can't click PHISH more than once

In defense of Hippies.

Hi There!

Hey!! I want to be a hippie!! The only thing I don't understand about hippies is the not washing thing. I just don't GET smelling bad. How tough is it to run a hose over yourself. Maybe that would take some of the itchiness out of the hemp.


Okay, having said that....

Hippies get to do all kinds of psychotropic drugs, listen to Hendrix and Dylan and Morrison and Joplin, and then, and then, get to have INDISCRIMINATE SEX WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE!! Dude! Duuuuude!! Where the hell do I sign up. And they're all non-violent and shit! How can you not love that? "Hey man, I'm gonna smoke all your shit and fuck your girlfriend, okay?". "Whoa, far out, dude. That's rad, man. Peace". And best of all, they piss off the Religious Right!! They grow out their beards, wear handmade clothing, walk around barefoot, talk about love and forgiveness and brotherhood, and then all the people that believe in JESUS get offended!!! It's called irony, ladies and gentlemen. It's the universe's way of showing us humor. Plus, I love the smell of patchouli. Leg and armpit hair on women doesn't bother me. It's natural, why are women expected to have the skin texture of a newborn baby eel??

But you know, take a shower sometime. That's the only thing I don't get about t3h H1ppi3s. [shrug]

FUCKING.

PHISH HEADS.

GOD they are all that way. They bitch about not having enough money to eat their goddamned veggie burritos while driving around in Daddy's Saab.

The correct term is 'trustafarian', and I hate them with a burning passion
