not at all - I actually live in a very hippy-like environment, which middle class people tend to disparage-as.
I'm just not deluded by some artificial concept that the hippies achieved anything - they didn't. In fact, for most purposes, they probably did more damage as the bulk of established society wanted no truck with them.
For sure, the 60s and 70s saw the opening up of a more enlightened consciousness, some of which can be attributed to the fact of the hippy movement's existence - but it had more to do with practical economic and societal externalities than any aesthetic conceit.
Look, your entire stance in this thread is sat hip-deep in ignorance - I don't necessarily mean that in an insulting way, I just mean that you don't actually have a clue what you're on about.
You've started off with an ill-considered opinion, and now you have people pointing out how lacklustre and stupid it is, to which you're feeling aggrieved. I get it.

I'm not angry. If anything, I'm just a little saddened.
- you're right about the socioeconomic conditions shaping things, but the hippies DID achieve some big changesmonospaced
