America's Most HATED Subculture...

CoCa Cola commandeering the hippy movement is no different that current companies adopting the LGBT banner in June, ignoring it in the middle East, and then dropping it come July.

The wild thing is that any counter culture movement against consumerism tends to be swallowed by consumerism because if it can be commercialised it will be commercialised

The Peace Corps did a lot more than "hang out." Their slogan was "The toughest job you'll ever love." Volunteers did things like build schools, construct roads, develop water and sewage systems, teach basic literacy, improve farming methods.

you either die a hippie, or live long enough to see yourself in a Pepsi commercial...

There are more hated subcultures in America today than hippies.

I live in a house in the wild woods of Northern California that was built as the communal house for a commune called the Udder Truth. They had individual living spaces scattered throughout the property. Some were houses, some shacks, and one dude lived in the hollow of a dead old growth redwood tree. He ended offing himself in that tree and that tree finally fell this winter. End of an era. Anyway, like so many communes from that time it crashed and burned very, very quickly. After they disbanded my friend and his wife bought the property and made it an amazing place to live!

"They wanna save the Earth but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad" 😂😂

Swiss dude actually invented LSD, so technically it was the Swiss who figured out how to sell enlightenment in convenient packaging.

So depressing, if a subculture really tries to go for somthing better, people just take advantage of it. Reality rudely interrupts and punishes us for our idealism😂

Two recommended books for those interested in the subject: "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" (1968) by Tom Wolfe documents the early beginnings of the hippies, from Allen Ginsberg and the Beat poets, through Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, and the formation of the Grateful Dead. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1971) by Hunter S. Thompson explores the decline and fall of the counterculture and the corruption of ideals that effectively killed the hippie movement.

I dated a native/latin single mom, she was a hippie too. Believing in crystals, soulmate, energy, astrology and stuff. It lasted two years and she literally had the audacity to say that she now believes that there are multiple soulmates and she's in love with another man. I kicked her to the cirb and didn't look back at all. It hurt, but it must be done.

We're getting closer lads, to punks and/or metalheads 😉, great video as always 👍

There is a great line from Danny the dealer at the end of the film Withnail and I where he says "They're selling hippy wigs in Woolworth's" which sums it all up so perfectly how the era ended.

"no scoped in the back of a car".. yet again a line that tells you great things are ahead

A lot of people fail this format. You sir. Have absolutely fucking nailed it.

I'd be willing to bet that the draft had more to do with the growth of the hippie counterculture than any other one thing. Amazing video!

It is grammatically impossible to say "Hippie" without saying "f***ing" before

They're selling hippy wigs in woolworths man.

No, Diogenes was the first hippie
