On edit, i don't think it matters when we were born, 'hippie-ness' is a frame of mind. :evilgrin:

6. Born in 1975. I could emulate a hippie pretty decently, although it wasn't

8. I grew up in the era but was too little to be one!
I do have memories of all the barefoot hippies lined up near the exits on the highway trying to hitch rides. There were tons of them!

9. fondly recalling "The Summer of Love"
My mother got this siamese cat that was so beautiful and loving. I couldn't get enough of that cat. I was seven.

11. I was a staunch environmentalist...
Beginning in Fourth and Fifth Grades. Fifth Grade (Spring) was when the first Earth Day was held. I was in Fourth Grade in 1968-69 and Fifth in '69-'70. I guess that made me a really "young radical", huh?:D B-)

17. Love-In's and Peace Marches in LA 67-69
I saw it all.. what a moment, the birth of a "New" generation.. a radical change from the old that many who did not experience it, can barely comprehend.

A little too young to be a hippie, alas. I would have been a good one. I protested nukes since Vietnam was over by the time I was old enough to hitchhike to the protests. I was a free spirit (still am). I hitched all over the country when I was 18. Mouthy and radical (or so my father would tell you).

20. If having long hair makes one a hippie I still am one.
But I gave up the drugs years ago.

23. Short haired hippy, vegan, meditating tree hugger.
Can't afford to buy pot currently now, so not fully hippiesque.

so I grew up during the 60s and early 70s. I did like the hippie movement, though. I was into a lot more of the stuff then than I was into the stuff in the 70s. I hated disco, was into John Denver by the early 70s.

26. People often confused me for a hippie up until recently
because of the drugs and the grateful dead music and such. But it was just an act. It was I, you fools! The man you trusted wasn't Wavy Gravy at all! And all this time, I've been smoking harmless tobacco!

28. Born in 1983 - Ray-Gun was our fearless leader
I was rather apolitical growing up. Then a brief stint in the Republican party in high school becoming a green party hippy for Gore in my Senior year. Still a hippy in spirit but am actually hoping for a career in the evil Republican corporate world when I get out of college. And a friend of mine started a group called pothead liberal Democrats against hippies, just for fun in response to the hippies against weed on Comedy Central.

However, had I been alive at the time, I doubt I would have been one myself.
