In my opinion, the pandemic had changed everything. I think it brought out all the bad with the good. In my case it sucked to be in quarantine, but it also helped me rethink life and what does true happiness look like? For me I dislike this hustle culture and the social media. I remember there once was a time were I held out on getting a smart phone when I was 17; I was happy just being in the moment. I lost that in my early twenties; I'm trying to regain it back. Times are gonna change this social media culture won't last forever. Forever is never promised.

Where can I find the rest of the Baby Boomer hippie documentary? It's very fascinating indeed!

I grew up during the 50’s & 60’s. I wanted to be a hippy. I was enthralled with the idea of the Summer of Love. But I grew up on a farm in Southeast Texas. High school had dress and hair codes. But I wanted to be a hippy. Then I joined the military and spent 12 years there. But I still wanted to be a hippy. Then after college I spent 30 years on a police dept. I retired. And I still wanted to be a hippy. So, now I am. I have not cut my hair in 5 years; I spend time in my garden growing organic things; I get to smoke pot legally; and I feed cats. My time is mine and I’m pretty happy. So, the moral of this story is: it’s never too late to be a hippy. Be cool and get in your groove!

My dad kicked me out of the house at age 17 just as I started my senior year of high school because I wouldn't cut my hair. One of the best things he ever did for me. I learn to take care of myself that year. I never considered myself a hippie but I may have been perceived as one by others. When covid shut down my barber shop I decided to grow my hair long again. Some people may perceive me as an old hippy now but in reality I'm just a self employed (musician) 68 year "old man". "Old hippies never die, they just smell funny".

Born in 1957 made me 10 to 15 years old during the late 60s, early 70z. I've always felt deprived of having the full experience of the hippie movement and it has made me sad. But it definitely influenced my life. There was so much happening at that time. Vietnam, the Black Panthers, Woodstock, Kent State, the Denocratic National Convention in Chicago, drugs, sex, rock n roll. All while I was going through a critical growth phase. In my late 20s, early 30s I finally got to have my own mild "hippie experience" I have no regrets. It was the best time of my life.

Looking around, my peers look tired and depressed since their early teens and are constantly searching for approval of the mainstream society.

I can remember as a very young kid in the early 70’s like 72 or 73 is when I saw a bunch of hippies! My dad told me don’t go into a certain set of woods cause their were these dirty hippies in them! So of course I had to see fo myself! I went out a they built like the greatest tree forts and other little box buildings that were painted all these crazy colors! I just remembered talking to them and they were all so nice and happy! This was in Jackson Michigan! We ended up moving to New Yuck in 1977 but my short few years of going and hanging out with hippies in my youth was a very pleasant experience every single time! They never hurt me, or tried to get me to get them anything! They just talked about regular stuff! I remember one of them opened a seashell that contained a bunch of weed! So from then on till I knew better, I thought it came from the ocean! It was cool cause they let me be me! They answered any questions I had and they treated me like a kid brother only a cool kid brother! I had fond vivid memories of 20 something hippies being genuine and peaceful and fun and decent! I hope they all go to Heaven and I see them again when it’s my turn to be with the great Spirit in the sky!!!!! God bless everyone and happy days to all!!!!!!!!

Yo Greeting From Southfield Michigan. My great grandparents and their kids visited my deceased aunt in Jackson in the 60s through 80s

The best thing about those times is that we were out directly experiencing life. Hiking, going to concerts, hanging out with friends, having deep conversations/ rapping, writing poetry, doing art, discussing tumultuous current events, making our own hippie clothes, sewing patches on jeans, etc. We walked everywhere. We were directly living life, because there was no internet, no cable TV. We just had the broadcasted channels. When UHF channels came about, it was a big deal. What we have now would have seemed like science fiction then. Life was about doing. I love the internet, in doses. But I don't want to live life through a screen.

As a kid in the early 1960s, I met a guy who was riding his Harley across America. He told me about his life on the road. He worked odd jobs from cleaning mortar from bricks in brickyards to pitching hay and cleaning horse stalls on farms. He slept in fields and in wooded areas off the highways. He just wanted to be free from the constraints of the everyday grind. I asked him what got him interested in living the way he did. He said, "A guy named Kerouac wrote this here book called, 'On the Road.'" "That's all it took for me, kid," he added.

Goodness! This sounds just like that old tv show "Then Came Bronson"! 😲

it is more complicated than this. I am a 68er and there were many things we all had in common. Number one was to sound interesting. There was no internet, so you had to read to fit in, or belong to a spiritualisits union or some such alternative thing. We read books round the clock and the level of conversation was very different to the conversations I hear from young people in Berlin. The drugs were actually very weak compared to today's THC levels. I remember the ladies to be very independent and impossible to pin down. They were free spirits, dressed in old clothes and didn't rely on surgery or influencers. They were truly independent young ladies and quite a challenge. Buddhism and Hinduism were very popular so we were pretty cool about most things. Controlling your wants and desires was part of the experience as well, and respect for all life, all people, all animals and insects and fish were sacred. It was complicated and you didn't really understand it until you looked back on it and realised how it had formed your life forever. I can't escape 1968. It was an amazing year.

Jack leary, Tim's only son was in my 9th grade homeroom at Millbrook high school in Sept.1964. We hunted deer and ducks together and worked on a spruce log cabin on the Hitchcock estate, road to and from school ocasionally in Jack's tan VW beetle, sampled S.C.U.B.A. diving, listened to Stones, Cream, Beach Boys records, shopped at the Habadashery in Po'keepsie, and suffered the trauma of G, Gordon Liddys first political raid on the Mansion in spring of '66. Presently, he does'nt acknowledge my birthday cards or phone calls to him. I learned from observing Jack that I was not alone as a child in the miseries single parent and having a wild parent.

To me it's like we need another youth movement. The 60s was a time of rebels trying to break from norms of a restrictive society. The 20s could be a ballancing act. Now we are rude, selfish and always in search of a kick. Maybe we need to find a middleground between the 50s and 60s. And yes... bring back rock and roll.

And this was from a generation that fought with protests and inside movements to stop the war in Vietnam! Ironically my parents generation was just the opposite and I can hear them still say it was deplorable on their excesses ( the generation from the Great Depression they were the building blocks of our great society today ) . Sadly no one wants to acknowledge it was the their predecessors , my parents generation that lived within their means , excess was far from their proverbial plate , their carbon footprint print was less other than the rise of corporate America , if it wasn’t for them “ Silicon Valley or the so called upper mobile of the late 60’s would not of existed .

I was a little girl during that time, so I didn't "experience" the 60s, and could totally relate to wishing I'd been a hippie - until the U.S. invaded Iraq, and then I took back what I said! The 60s WERE an amazing time, but even as a sheltered child, I got glimpses of the dark side. I remember a couple of older (middle school) girls whispering about a classmate who'd poured a bottle of Coca Cola into her body for reasons I didn't entirely comprehend, but it filled me with dread. I remember Walter Cronkite reporting each evening how many soldiers had died that day in "Phnom Pen," and how the draft hung over the country like tornado season: it could suck away your cousin or a family friend without warning. My friend C, who's a decade older than me, felt guilty for years about all the arguments she'd had with an older family member before he died. And then the show "Mad Men" came out, and she had an epiphany about why she'd been so angry and why she had a right to be. Girls were (in general) like pets who had to be trained, and women were like children who couldn't be trusted to have their own bank accounts - or opinions - at least in the segment of society where I grew up. The times I've dated men a decade older than me - even now, in middle age - I've been reminded, "Oh, yeah, they grew up believing women were created to serve them." Disabled people were isolated from society, Black people were treated like cattle, Black and Native women were sterilized without their knowledge, the mentally ill were shackled in horrific institutions. I mean, I know it's still bad (and getting worse), but back then it was REALLY bad. But hey, man, that's a heavy trip to lay on you groovy chicklets. ; ) I dig where you're coming from. I dig. Are we copacetic? I feel like we have a better foundation now on which to build the Age of Aquarius the hippies envisioned, but the challenges have grown bigger, too. Don't miss the history we're living right now, because 50 years on, the younger generation may be wishing they were alive to see this.

X was anti-segregation and was for women in high-paid high prestige careers and leadership positions. The 90s were more socially liberal than the 80s. Sexual harassment taken that much more seriously (even if not like today), people really starting to open up to LGBs (again, not completely but was moving in the enlightened direction). Sadly, the T part had to wait until the 2000s, and even today it's still a battle - and even for LGBs too.

I'm 18 and I find myself occasionally wondering what my life would be like if I was born in 1950, just vulnerable enough to be under the complete influence of the late 60's. I understand that we are probably looking at this era through rose-tinted glasses, and that the hippy lifestyle was clouded with pseudointellectuals and kids who just wanted to shirk responsibility. However, this era was truly ahead of its time when it came to addressing topics such as existentialism, authenticity, eastern philosophy, finding your Dharma (Bliss), how to create your meaning and purpose, how to be grateful for what you have and not need to compare yourself to others, etc. These topics are finding their way into the hearts of young people again via my generation (Gen Z) because of how much of an uncertain environment we are currently growing up in right now. The things that helped our parents thrive aren't helping us thrive. The things that gave our parents meaning aren't giving us meaning. Our parent's route to "success" is not our route to "success" (however you want to define success). Does this call for another hippy movement? I don't know. What I do know is who I want to surround myself with, and that's with open-minded groovy people like those in this video.

I disagree. Completely. Im 30. People have always freed their mind, used alcohol, opium and weed ECT. Nothing new. It just being openly on TV or talked about was a no no . Y'all may think you are a part of a new open minded movement but you are not, you are being manipulated by Marxists to cause chaos, violence, overwhelmed all the systems, pit class against class, race against race, and now they are trying to trigger a global flip to socialism.

timechanges everybody I’m quite aware that people have always used substances for a long time, I never believed it was anything new. Also I feel a lot of what you have outlined in your comment is not entirely relevant to those previous, my interpretation was that we are discussing about how education comes in many forms and not just the traditional and that general happiness may not be a simple find and this search should be more important than the stereotypical form of success. You discussing this global flip to socialism sounds a conspiracy theory if anything. Also, I don’t think people trying to stop racism (or what may appear to be racism) has anything to do with Marxists or socialism, it is simply allowing someone to have basic human rights and the reason for any violence is because peaceful protests (at least in America) have had little impact otherwise this issue may have been resolved or quite substantially bettered years ago. Although in saying that I do not endorse people’s manipulation of the problem with police brutality to get a new Gucci belt.

We NEVER referred to ourselves as " hippies " . To us that was a degrading term. A made up name by the media for a thing they couldn't possibly understand. We called ourselves " Heads " & " Freaks " .

The difference between the 60s and today is that today both sides are gassed up with seething hatred for one another and it is ALL politically and ideologically motivated. Hippies were just off-the-grid types who wanted a more peaceful and charitable existence; it was the political radicals among the New Left that gave the hippie movement a bad rap, and the Manson "family" wound up destroying both. Today is just naked and unapologetic political radicalism with no "peace/love/dove" to be found anywhere. What's going on is in fact complete B.S., but the arrogance of youth will refuse to admit it. It's as much a religion as religion is, and that's the one point they refuse to concede. At some point it'll burn out, but it will likely take some heinous act by the next Charles Manson to finally rip the megaphone from the hands of the political and cultural radicals. What perplexes me is that since the 60s we've gone full circle -- from the Free Speech movement to the Suppressed Speech movement, at a time when social media should be free speech's best friend. Just shows our young folks don't know their history, and that's largely because it hasn't been taught in our public schools nor our universities; it's been replaced by this dogged attempt to RE-WRITE history or erase it altogether and replace it with one-sided dogma. At least the Hippie movement promoted peace and tolerance; all their heirs are promoting in the 2020s is "Burn this mothafucka down!" Their answer to everything: Destroy. Not build, _destroy._ Tear it down to the foundation. Today's young aren't "progressive" at all. They're _revolutionaries,_ trying to resurrect Leninism/Maoism on the left _or_ fascism on the right, via a trumped-up, contrived culture war. If Boomers are guilty of anything it's breeding the current crop of leaders, who haven't the first clue about civics and are bound and determined to ensure _their_ children are just as ignorant as they are.

This is the generation from which I was born... I care and respect them all. (for the most part. :-) ) Working at a rest stop on the highway one summer, I served coffee and snacks to a bus full of hippies. Every other one of them came up a penny or a nickel short on their bill. "No problem!" I told them with a smile and tossed in the loose change from my pocket to keep the cash register even. "Wow! Thanks..." each one of them said with a smile. I smiled and nodded back to them. Finally, at the end of the line, came their leader... He looked me over closely then smiled and nodded his head, he took off one of his beaded bracelets and wrapped it around my wrist, then he shook my hand and told me "You're alright... You're one of us now!" My eyes opened wide and I smiled brightly to them as they began to file away, "Hey, guys! Thanks! ---You travel safely." :-) Best customers I had all summer!

"Freedom" ie no regulation has driven the world's kids nuts, no wonder they just want to scroll on games. Sixty Minutes CBS did a show a few years back how Silicon Valley set smart devices up to intentionally scroll down to get ad revenue, which affects attention span. Their brains have been rewired. We didn't have to deal with that demon BACK IN THE DAY unless you did the dope.

I was 7 years old when the Beatles came to Montreal early in their world tour in 1964. My mom and i SAW (NOT heard) the Fab 4. The girls screamed nonstop, the amplifiers were weak by today's standards, etc. We only heard the first few bars of each song. Our ears rang and whistled for hours afterward

I moved to SF and North California in 1967. I learned about meditation, yoga, healthy food, the essence of many religions and the essence of the Gospels, ‘God is love’. I also partied with marijuana.Later, I became an RN and I witnessed therapeutic use of marijuana for many symptoms. The 1960’s hippie movement helped introduce realistic and frank discusiion about death. We are all born to die. Thank God I was a hippie during my time on Earth.

I never did the drug scene, but people were nice, we accepted each other the way we were. We looked for a simple life style, back to the simple living, we soul searched. I was no hippy but i do have good memories. Love was in the air!

I was born in 1960, the youngest of four, my two older brothers had all the best records and I loved the music. Everybody had long hair and smoked weed and wore jeans and headbands. Even in our little town right outside New Orleans, it was glorious for a kid having all these new influences. I can remember my dad yelling at hippies running in front of his car in the Quarter and getting really pissed if he saw a white girl with a black man. It was such a crazy juxtaposition between the '50's and the '60's, it really was a cultural revolution. It really was a shock for my parents who married in the 50's and there were plenty of arguments about my brother needing to cut their hair and you better not be smoking that marijuana!

This is the kind of crap we had to deal with back then. Its also exactly why we rebelled against our father's generation, and their idea that war is the only solution. We had the best music ever, it came from everywhere, so much TALENT in such a short era.

Johhny K Do you think that was the fault of a Hippy attitude? As opposed to what that Hippy attitude is repulsed by. Mate what kind of a mentality encourages an offshore job economy, business people, cut throat dog eat capitalism. There's no social values in that. True Neo-Liberals, as the movers and shakers have been called, are not Hippy's, if some once where, they ceased to be at whatever point. A lot of original Hippys betrayed the way they where, others simply found it too hard to maintain. Some managed to keep their values intact throughout the changes and pressures and have managed to keep the basic attitude of goodwill, others only partially. Life, over years, swallows ones youthful hopes and desires, the way the world has been going for not houndreds but thousands of years eats away at a person. Today we are in a new situation that is brewing another reaction, much like it did in the early mid sixties. The population is far higher now and the ecological situation becoming increasingly pronounced. The social issues are more or less the same as usual, utter neglect from the political sphere to deal with and address the needs of people, all the while saying what people want and hope for - that's simply tongue wagging. The 1960's Hippy thing was a very down to earth movement, children, family's, music and creativity and very much about local produce and economy. Sounds like your trying to bag every babyboomer into a single story. That's not how life is, there where a range of agenda's and certainly a polarised one. So the grievances are real, however the resentments are misdirected, that stuff you're angry about is the result of a chaotic market force dominating society, driven by people who see the world as a market. A 'free' market I believe they like to call it. This so called free market has proven to have little to do with personal Freedom and has been part of the nasty repression of any kind of freedom for genuine community's to develope and work together for common good. When I say community's I mean whatever those community's cultural preferences and style are, be they alternative or straight and conservative. These world as a marketplace mentality's have treated the world not as a planetary ecology first and foremost and not a society of human communitys before it's a free competitive economic market. The hopes and desires of the 1960's were brutalized and then humiliated out of vogue. However it did free up culture - personal expression so you could dress the way you liked and choose to be a bit more how you felt to be on a vert peresonal level. That however still has a way to go with all the bullying and trolling that happens.

Gee, not a single young person staring glumly into their phone and ignoring the world around him or her. A better time IMHO.

I was an ex-military vet when I started college in '69. I formed a bond with many kids slightly younger than myself. I took a shine to one young lady who taught me how to be a hippie. We broke up after 3 1/2 years and I kept my "hippie ways" for many decades. We went our separate ways, and I think of our days together very often, though I'm married with grandkids at 77 years old.

My mother was a hippy and my father was a yippy. They were the most unlikely match but they were married until my dad's death in 2003.

Maybe it's a sign that still want to dominate society, even if it's in a very negative way and their cultural relevancy is wearing off. Many boomers seemed to have gotten their way their whole lives (with the help of their parents, the better economy back then, etc). So when the newer generations try to take the stage, the BBs come in and shut them down. It's like the jealous oldest sibling who hoards their toys and won't share them with their younger, more needier siblings. Or worse throws the toys with the intention to hurt them. Of course, there are some BBs who are nice enough to share and play, and who recognize that their generation has made problems that will impact future citizens after their deaths.

Chainsaw Kitten Aww, I think thats really cute. I bet if i grew up in that time, Id probably want to be a hippy too. Theres something so fascinating about them...idk if its the way they dressed, and carried themselves, or if its just the fact that its so admirable that people could feel so strongly and fight so passionately for something they truly believe in. And in my opinion, that was a hippy. The cool thing about them, is not so much the drugs, and a reckless way of living, however, they did seem to live freely, but their beliefs and how that was a generation that you can honestly say was a group of the most non complacent ppl out there. Yes, maybe they did rebel at times...but theyd make a stand. I think that matters a lot. They wanted peace and they would fight for it.

Hey guys! Circa 1991 here lol, I live as a new-age hippie. Me and my old man bought an ‘97 RV during the pandemic and have been moving around living in it ever since. My mother always called me her flower child, I grew up on Fleetwood and Crosby Stills and Nash… I wear dresses all summer and live as a free-spirit. Being a Pisces definitely gave me an edge too 😉 So no matter what your age, Live life and spread love, cause as we know, its gone before you know it. 🕊️

I lived it..raised in NJ..15 minutes outside of Manhattan. What comes to my mind is TO EXPERIENCE IS TO KNOW. There is no way to explain the feeling that was in the air..all permeating and it was just our lives. What I can say is that everyone truly wanted peace and harmony and equality...to bring out the better angels in all souls and the brother and sister hood of humanity. Personally..I am still that kid that feels deeply...and prays for our world.

ME ! I was born in 1953, so I LIVED those days in this film !

I was only 12 yo in ‘67 so I was on the cusp of being influenced by the then contemporary generation. I loved my newfound clothes, my taste in music was evolving, television shows were being aimed at the ‘60s young people. I came of age in the ‘70s though. I thought most everything was different from the ‘60s. I felt a cooler vibe. Intelligence mattered. Conformity, even in peer groups, didn’t take ahold of kids. I loved even longer hair. I never did acid because of a certain propaganda film, but I did start using weed, mescaline and shrooms - all natural from the land, not created in a lab. Anyway, my impression of the ‘60s, in some respects, is that it was so far behind me in the ‘70s, that it seemed awkwardly different to who I had become. ✌🏼

Notice almost none of us were overweight.

I'm 25 but ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated with the counterculture of the 60's. I'm still heavily into the music and it's like I miss a time I never experienced. Thanks for the video.

We act as if we fight for justice in social medias while in reality we killed our humanity by hating others, cancelling others, shaming people who were once bad but now wants to change.

I saw a Timothy Leary lecture at Santa Clara University in the 80's. He was pushing personal computers, he even said that in the future we were going to meet and court our future spouses on it, which seemed silly to me at the time. During the q and a portion, the only thing people asked him about was his activism and drug use. One person asked how old he was when he took LSD. He replied, "40, so there is still hope for your parents!"

Jerry Rubin was completely right on, and unfortunately a large majority of us still care more about our breath and how we smell than the suffering of our fellow humans

As a highscool graduate in 1964, I was right at the beginning of the counter culture. Now an aging hippie, I'll remember those years forever in my ❤

David is an excellent film maker and documentary maker. I remember, watching this on TV, back in the early 90's . Was such an honor to meet the guy who did this. I have mixed feelings about my generation. How did so many go from wanting to change the world, to wanting to buy it? The drug scene got a lot worse. I avoided the drugs until March 79. An yes, the weed did lead to harder drugs. I do know a few that just stayed with weed. I have come to realize that it's okay to chase the illusive dream, while caring about the planet and humanity. I was raised in a Military family, so you can imagine the conflicts. We were having Love In's from 85 to 93, in Griffith Park . Far Out. I can greatly relate to this. A great Documentary. In 15 years, I took around 400 lsd trips. It did open my mind and made me aware of many things. Wouldn't recommend it. Might be leading to my memory getting worse now.

Thank you for sharing this. I wonder when we depart this earth whether shows like this will live on in the annuals of my life. I was on the "Whats's happening Mr. Silver?" show at WGBH in Boston. I vaguely remembering your presence on that shoot, but I could be wrong. It was a show in which he asked us about high school filmmakers. Back then I was into filmmaking in high school and he (or staff) gathered a group of us and brought us out into an urban alley and asked us questions as we sat on an angled bulkhead strune with bits of broken glass.

and now Boomers are the authority and hoarded stole growth through credit from own children

Older generations were scarred by war and depression, and then given the chance to earn every dollar they worked for in the post-war prosperity. I think what defined the generation gap was that the older generations favored security over happiness... or conflated the two as the same word. To trade away your freedom in a mind numbing job that pays well was okay because it brought you security, compared to how 30 to 40 years before those jobs weren't common and everyone was standing in soup lines and doing menial labor to survive. Hard times can mold people to invest all their thought in rigid, righteous beliefs that justify daily suffering. Whether this be Evangelism, the American dollar, Corporate America, the white picket fence, being proper and cleanly, etc. However, most of these children who benefitted from the prosperity they grew up in didn't understand why their parents were so rigid and unable to consider anything else besides working hard, going to church, and buying things. They had taken that for granted, and wanted something much more... the ability to use imagination and thought, to be free in every aspect of their lives, because what good is financial security if you aren't free and happy because of it?

So funny that nearly all of us went from hating, "The Man" to being, "The Man." Every generation blames the previous generations for their troubles. Being promiscuous, alcohol and drugs were our problems. I lost friends to the latter two. It was tragic at times and it was wonderful at times, just like every generation before and after.

I have been kicked out of restaurants and had police search me, and my car, because I "looked suspicious." AKA: I was sitting in my car... with long hair. Or, moving into a new house... with long hair. Lol. I'm not just being paranoid, the police, whom I later became friends with, actually said, "We had to check you out. You have to know that people are going to be suspicious about you with that hair." I always laughed it off. No sense in getting mad about it. I chose to have long hair, even though I knew the way I'd be treated.😃 I still live in the same small town, but I don't really know if guys with long hair are still treated the same. It's not really in style and I rarely see it now.

I was 13 when President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. The entire nation was sad and horrified by this event. The whole country seemed to be depressed. The next thing you knew, "Beatlemania" was spreading like wildfire and it seemed to bring us collectively out of our gloom. I say I was pretty much raised by the Beatles and I think they broke up in 1970 when I was about to turn 21. For a teenager with a lot of problems the Beatles helped me get through countless times with their music and words.

I graduated high school in 1965.We were taught to be respectful & had strict rules to follow, answering yes sir, yes mam’m, may I be excused? We had chores & received allowances, belonged to a membership pool w tennis courts, went to Ocean City beach for a week every summer, often visited our grandfather’s beef farm, & our other grandparent’s dairy farm in Colorado. We shined our shoes every Saturday nite for Sunday school & church the next day. My father worked for the government & my stepmother was a housewife. We always went to see the Cherry Blossoms in the Spring, in DC. & fireworks near the Washington Monument on the 4th of July,toured the Smithsonian & art museums,attended the Washington, DC baseball & Redskins’ games w season tickets. We saw plays & enjoyed music at Wolf Trap, the annual air show, car show,& home show, rolled Easter eggs at the White House,& always loved the Christmas windows of the DC department stores with their action displays of elves working in Santa’s toyshop. We had big Christmases & always were out of school bc of snow, from XMAS vacation till almost Valentine’s.There was sledding & ice skating. We saw Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey’s huge circus,the Ice Capades,the Globe Trotters. We rode our bikes, played jump rope, roller skated, played hopscotch, played cowboys & Indians, tag, & Kick the Can.We saw double features at the movies every Saturday afternoon for 25 cents, popcorn, candy bars, & cokes were only 5 cents. We all read comics in color in the Sunday papers & had stacks 10:52 of comic books.We had a tree house & a tire swing, badminton & horse shoes, paper routes & doughnut routes & loved bubble gum & candy cigarettes. Our parents had drinks before dinner & went out every Friday to a neighbor’s for cards or dancing. We never heard cussing & yelling in the stores. No one yelled or caused a scene. We always felt safe.People had manners & were dressed clean & properly & we knew all of our neighbors & we were all patriotic. Then Vietnam showed us dead bodies on the nightly news, young boys were being drafted & sent to war. Hippies didn’t wear bras, get haircuts or have jobs or homes. They were often barefoot & popped up at public car lots with wildflowers they picked & wanted you to buy. They were high on drugs & groping each other & laying in the grass or on benches,many needed baths & clean clothes.They had sex with any & everybody.Thousands of babies were abandoned,many mixed race & many born with deformities bc their mothers didn’t eat properly during their pregnancies $ still did drugs & alcohol & smoked pot.Teens ran away from rules& protocol at home, to live in communes, many never to be seen or heard from again.Youth was warring with all authority, declaring we didn’t need laws, marriage,education, religion, or jobs, should be free with no rules. Then free love was taken over by rioting, robberies & kidnappings, hostage situations & bombings.Basically, we Americans felt we had lost our first war. Then oeople wanted more cars & vacations & bigger homes & greed replaced families & ideals. Everyone is getting divorced, plastic surgery, young wives to replace the old,more nursing homes for unwanted elderly, & more pills to pop to calm your nervous tensions & inability to sleep. We don’t trust our leaders, doctors, lawyers. Drug dealers buy houses next to yours.Criminals & illegals make us feel unsafe everywhere.We’ve grown into a massive circle of civilization gone wild with the same old standbys, money & power & sex!!!

They threw out the good values along with the bad. Rejected everything.

I was born to late to witness this but, growing up in the 90’s I spent it trying to emulate these values. In the 2000’s there was a kind of resurgence and I spent a year living in the woods of Golden Gate Park. The values of love and community are essential for our survival. By time I found any semblance of this movement it was spent with heroin addicts and meth heads unfortunately. I wish this would come back minus all the drugs.

It was so cool to have all 4 television stations talking about the same thing and not showing us pictures of villages burning in Vietnam. Terrifying and interesting for a 10 year old preparing for middle school. Got 'Are You Experienced' as soon as it was at Montgomery Ward department store. Changed outlook after listening to it.

I was a little kid in the 60’s, I loved things like beads, granny dresses, bell bottoms, and suede fringe vests and purses. In HS it was all about platform shoes, midis, macrame swimsuit, clogs…..then disco, candies shoes, danceskins….. the 80’s….big hair and yuppies, Van Halen, Journey and concerts. In the 90’s my kids were into grunge-out with preppy. I cannot tell you how glad I am NOT a teen or young person today. PEACE!

Bless her, she was close in her observation but not quite. Love that memory and especially guys with long hair~sideburns.

I was a teenager back then. Didn’t do the drugs etc but it was the best years of my life. I learned a lot about loving and caring for others. My Dad had a soft spot for nature and he taught me so much even down to catching a spider in our house in a jar and letting it outside (not in the winter though). To this day I still catch them and put them outside. They are living gifts for us all to see. Best years ever. Wish we could try this one more time before the NWO takes over our planet. Peace, Love, and Gratitude for all 🥰💕❤️

813ENTERTAINED While some of that may have truth I’m seeing generations of everyday people Wearing a Mask. Even in their own cars. Who is complying with the NWO Now? Just asking. They will all line up for the vaccine when the time comes. They will comply willingly. I won’t be one of them. And I won’t comply with the mask either. So I guess I am still a rebellious Hippie even though I never was one. I just find it odd that people want to blame Boomers for everything that is wrong with this world today. Everyone needs to stand up and take responsibility IMO. No anger here, just the facts I believe to be true ❤️

Also it would be nice if you could be a kind, compassionate human instead of an ignorant one. You will feel better about yourself. Or maybe you won’t. Too much anger there. The Virus is about control of the population. And masks have been debunked. Even the WHO said they don’t stop it. Do some research before you spout off or just stay brainwashed.

Finally the authentic screenplay is out there waiting to be made. Written by an on location artist, set in Jamaica, Swinging London and Hot Rod Michigan. Atlantis Outpost

I was born in 1952 and never thought much of the Hippies as a group or something to strive to be. I had trouble enough to learn about how to cope with my environment and learn about how I could be comfortable in the world and find the meaning of life and peace of mind. I found that a person needs to find that inner strength that gives comfort with not needing to depend on other people or material possessions to feel self worth, just feeling satisfied alone in an empty room.

Likly you thought you got what they were doing. But really you do not see the reality about how the video was media and part of the mainstream media shafting and railroading. Hippies weren't even proper counter-culture. Hippies were the drugged stoned societal flotsan which the counter culture and Marxist radicles shepered to and throw for their own political objectives. Love and sex are not banned substances in the twenty-twenties. It is going on all the time. But for you and your revolutionary ideas the reality may be passing you by. So maybe you need to ask your self why. Why would the good things in life pass your pro-drop-out types behind. We have hundreds or thousands of crusty drop-out types sat on the walls or steps just barly conscious through their excessive drug abuse. So the world passes them by because that is what they want. They want to vanish in to their booze, to receed from society. So that is why you most likly missed the reality of sex and free love.

Me too. I STILL am a hippie. I’m 73

It was so exciting to be a part of that generation! (born in '49). I was penniless but so privileged. Also, I was able to live comfortably in every major city for only $10-$20/wk. Every day was an adventure! And so cool to see Oliver Stone in the last few frames!

21:28 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AFTER MY FIRST LSD TRIP. I was not a new person but I felt like i just wanted to start doing my own thing and focus on doing things I am passionate about. Live in the now instead of the past or future, experience life as a journey and not a linear timeline.

Imagine needing drugs for motivation

I have come full circle. When I was 15 in the 60’s I was a hippy. When I was in my mid thirties I became a right winger, and embraced the ideas of Rush Limbaugh. It took until I was in my mid sixties to acknowledge the damage conservative s had done to the country. The wars we waged upon third world countries and the lies told to us by media and government. The American dream that became more distant for the working class. Our elected representatives and government officials becoming whores for billionaires and corporations. The corruption, greed and cruelty meted out by corporate executives is staggering. Our government and legal system now serves the wealthy and powerful. I no longer believe my government, or CNN or FOX News. It’s all lies or obfuscation. I am a proud hippie , embracing the words and dreams of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King. I wish you all love , peace and wisdom.
