"Hippie" Influencers are INSANE 

i saw that typo at the beginning. you will not be forgiven.

You are banging on about everything in this video except for the hippie movement of the 60s. You should go deeper on that one, son. The history we are taught about the movement is romanticized propaganda via media and educational institutions. The hippie movement was small but force-fed to the public in order to manipulate the social-mind of a nation. Peace, love, sexual liberation, female equality, etc. was all to shape the culture politically and economically.

Its the same thing we just have more laws today that stops us from doing most of what they could do as "little activism" all we have left is talk. Any bigger is prison worthy, wich is useless if the message dudnt pass before hand

I wonder if avocado toast is good, I've never tried avocados before

@@draalttom844i mean i get what you mean but they were getting shot. like your point is valid but people have been getting aggressively taken down for protesting even before the 2000s.

They were all ways this way just rich brats

I mean back then there were plenty of posers as well, coincidentally also rich kids.

makes you wonder why they need such a nice bathtub if they're not even gonna use it smh

no it wasnt hippies were ALWAYS rich middle class kids

⁠@@drak_darippa you can’t say that most of the hippies. My mother struggled. She was a hippie. She had not a lot of money to even get by and was kicked out at a young age so don’t go around saying it’s a “rich” people thing because it’s not like…….

@@InfiniteCookie3-jo2bb then you cant say modern "hippies" are all rich either!

@andreanafromarknights no you are stubbornly ignoring MY point

Perfect way of saying it

Exactly as corporate powers intended - remove the parts of the countercultures that are actually a threat to those in control, and sell us back the cool aesthetics

​@@octochan Capitalism baby!

the wheels of capitalism stop for no one

And it was done to grunge too. On pinterest I once saw a "grunge outfit inspo" post that featured a gucci bag. What the actual hell

This is perfect!

I think that term “bohemian” originated from “bohème” which was what the French referred to the Romani people as. And the Bohemian aesthetic was taken from or inspired by Romani aesthetics and lifestyle (but without the discrimination that Romani people face). They fantasize about the free, nomadic life of the Romani people, but they were also prejudiced against them. Edit: I remember learning about this from a Romani RU-vidr!

@@parkchimmin7913 omg yes you are right, I doubled check ! I still think it can be compared, but I might be wrong !

@@emmacouffon2450 No you’re right! It’s absolutely a good comparison cause a lot of hippie fashion is taken from either Native American, Indian, or Romani culture. Edit: And I think Jamaican culture as well?

LOL! Sounds perfect, since “bobo” in Spanish means “dumb” 🤣

It's okay you're white too stop hating that part of yourself

It ok to be white But if youre any part native, youre native enough to hate on these weirdos 💪💪💪💪

​@@BulkernatorKerbThey never said they hated that part, you oughta brush up on your reading comprehension skills.

​​@@BulkernatorKerb They didn't say they're mixed with white, way to out yourself as an "it's okay to be white" groyper.

i’m in a similar boat; years of cultural erasure and genocide making it nearly impossible for me to reconnect with my family and our heritage, so i’m constantly worried about not being “native enough” or trying too hard. yet they show up and all of a sudden i can feel my body being controlled by all my ancestors combined

i feel like the majority of hippies were rich. they could afford to live care free then fall back on parents money when the smoke cleared

i heard someone say that hippies originated as rich kids rebelling from their parents.

​@@conga781middle class

Straight up

Hippies were always just rebellious rich kids. I was raised by old poor flower children who live off grid and my old school hippy mom always told me that new hippies are huge posers and most of the real hippies are either really old or dead.

YES THIS

This cannot be more accurate. This is exactly the problem with modern-era "punk" being filled to the brim with the worst kinds of people ever. Brendon Urie is the perfect example of what *isn't* punk. Green Day, on the other hand, represents punk. So does Muse. Any time pop culture grips onto something "edgy" and "not conventional" by whatever standards we live in, they butcher the meaning of what those movements were about in the first place. Nobody is a hippie for dressing in boho chic clothing and smoking weed. Nobody is a hippie for using cultures as a cute little "trend" (aka appropriation). Nobody is a hippie for shopping at SHEIN, Temu, Wish, and Amazon. It's the same way nobody is punk for ripping a hole in their pants and slapping a guitar. Punk is about being anti-Republican, period. Anyway, thank you for also mentioning the bit about white sage. I've never used it, but I also never knew it was a cultural thing. I'll be sure to mention that to any white kids who use it for their "sanctuary" lol.

@@ville__ okay, well um if anyone wants to know, this kid has n@z¡ memorabilia as a profile picture

​@@nomoretwitterhandles I know this doesn't add to your great comment, but older Muse is fire.

​@@nomoretwitterhandlesRepublican, Democrat... Caring about which cartoon animal The Man likes isn't very punk rock of you. Changing how you express yourself due to social pressure isn't very punk rock of you. Shaming people for doing what makes them feel good in their own home isn't very punk rock of you.

oof

punks are bad people pretending to be bad

@@mq7wn Some of em sure. No group is a monolith. Ya really thought you did something there didn't ya?

@@petitmains I've just been in that community before. Saying groups aren't a monolith isn't a gotcha. If you can't decipher a joke online that's on you

sorry to tell you the guy didn't invent that quote. i've met some horrible hippies and even worse punks like literal child molesters and abusers who are mostly drug addicts and alcoholics. addiction isn't a moral failure i'm literally a recovering alcoholic. but the alt community really ain't this precious group of angels people make them out to be.

not saying people aren’t doing that but people are already doing things like that but doing it in the wrong way which results into violence and people hurting eachother and then people chucking soup on paintings… like I thought being a hippie and wanting peace was all about standing up for like your human rights and politics and war and basically saying “we want peace” but I don’t see that anymore I just see pure hatred even though both sides are about “peace” but then create violence it’s so fkd up

​@InfiniteCookie3-jo2bb I agree. However, those are not hippies they're usually anarchists or other groups demanding change. In certain situations as well tho, the "peaceful protests" turn violent by police themselves. In those situations we can only answer back with violence to protect ourselves and our people. Now for protests, demonstrations etc. that become violent because of the protesters it really depends on the situation. But calling those people (i would even put myself in them) hippies is completely incorrect

She's an outlier. They do. Met enough selling molly in my twenties. They went to occupy Wall Street. Sure many didn't know what they were there for but many more who didn't get interviewed did.

I’m a Goth/metalhead (as in, listen to the music.) and the amount of times I’ve been called a gatekeeper just for pointing out that to be a Goth, you have to listen to the music. Because it’s a music subculture. I couldn’t give a rats ass if people want to dress in these “aesthetics” it just really bugs me when they forget that there’s a reason it all existed.

I completely agree! I like the aesthetic and have some „goth” pieces in my wardrobe but I do not call myself goth because I wear a „goth” dress once in a year 😂 I had a period in my life when I was dressing emo/scene and also I listened to this type of music but it’s in the past 😃

​@@Juu680I was called poser because I played sports and dressed in goth 😂

THIS!!! Yes!!! Anytime I hear that f-ing word "aesthetic", it makes me want to scream. When I was young, you rarely heard it and now I'm in my 40s and it's EVERYWHERE

​@@ghoultooth dude honestly I'm more about gate keeping. The whole subculture feels lost. But when a younger person comes up and asks for a smoke dressed in the aesthetic. But they don't know who siousxie is while wearing siousxie eyes. And we talk to them about the music and they don't know. And they start to take an interest in it and stay and listen instead of run off. Kinda gives me hope. Not a lot

can u be my editor

@@RayLikeSunshine suddenly learning how to edit

I’ve met this somewhere else as well and it’s so true!!! I’ve never met a nice not self obsessed hippie.

have you ever been in the metal scene? i was for 16 years and i came across some of the worst people imaginable. same with hippies the circles have some overlap. but the random hippy dudes i would meet were genuinely nicer. the women were usually self righteous and terrible.

@@yeebler for me I’ve never been to a metal concert just punk and rock

Met one hippie and he was an entitled douche who threw a bitch fit over the fact the place I worked at didn’t have sugar cones at that time.

Honestly, I've met some very nice hippies. My cousin was one of them. She and her band, traveled all over America in a school bus, performing their music. I think people are just people and nice people come in all kinds of different packages. Two of the most respectful people I've ever met were an enforcer for the Hell's Angels and the other was a leader for some kind of gang that controlled the drug trade in the area I lived in at the time. Both were friends with my (now) ex but wouldn't come in the house or sit down, until they had gotten my permission.

Boho chic also steals from Romani culture. Since the term “Bohemian” comes from the French term “Bohème”, which was what they referred to Romani people as. The “bohemians” were non-Romani people that liked the free, nomadic lifestyle and aesthetics of the Romani people but were also actively discriminating against them at the same time. The way Romani people were treated (and are still treated) in Europe is horrible.

and that is ok, i don't get what is so wrong with wanting to find an aestetic as a teenager

Is deez related to nutz?

​@@parkchimmin7913 the way the Rom@ni act is atrocious!

@@parkchimmin7913 The Bohemians were not non-Romani people that liked the free nomadic lifestyle. Bohemians are an actual people who live in Bohemia. It was a rugged place, so most Bohemians were capable people who knew how to live rough. Self reliant, like. So when people in Europe had a carefree life style, somewhat poor, given to music, people referred to them as Bohemians, meaning they didn't need anybody. The reason Bohemia and Romani are thought of together so often, is because Bohemia was the first country to outlaw slavery, which Romani people REALLY suffered from some terrible laws making them slaves in some countries just for existing. So, a lot of Romani went to live in Bohemia. A lot of Bohemians are part Romani. My son is Bohemian, and his grand dad's family came to the US as indentured laborers to work in construction, it was just said a "miscellaneous group of Bohemians and Gypsies" on his paperwork, so nobody is really sure which. But I think the attitude is somewhat genetic, because everyone in that family can do literally anything in life, they're all musicians, and you aint gonna beat any of them in a business deal.

Yeah back then Hippies were all about love and taking action

@@SmurfieDurfie And self sustainability (like living on communes)

@@parkchimmin7913 Oh yeah true :)

​@@SmurfieDurfiehippies back then benefited from their parents hard work and used the resources they inherited to say the system is flawed and needs to change because they didn't want to work regular jobs

@@nicholasmaximus3412 okay yeah that probably aswell. But hopefully not all of them. Still, these Hippies in the Video are just rich (like the old ones then) without any of the other positive attributes the old ones had

Don’t forget westerners such as her abusing, commodifying, and disrespecting plant medicine that is traditionally extremely important to indigenous peoples’ way of life- Including ayahuasca and San Pedro 🙃

have you ever met a real hippy. most of them are "anti science conspiracy theorists". do you even understand how many "conspiracy theories" have turned out to be true or even been straight up admitted.

The aliens did build the pyramids. It is ridiculous that people think enslaved people (that had no education. And that’s not be insulting it’s just the truth) built such a perfectly sound and astrologically correct structure that has stood the test of time. The Egyptians didn’t have a project manager around telling their workers where shit went. Like wtf lol

No kidding. As soon as she mentioned aliens I was worried, and then the next line was about the pyramids and so I was sadly correct in my assumption.

Also when the Vietnam vets came back from the war the hippies called them baby killers. Peace and love my ass these fuckers never change

i was looking for this comment. (didn't live back then but i heard of this happening from people who did.) of course there were true blue real deal hippies but there were also rich kids gallivanting across the country trying to seem deep and enlightened but knew they had mommy & daddy's trust fund to fall back on. today, the first category of hippies grew up to be... cool old hippies. the second group grew up to be boomers who just don't get why kids these days "don't wanna work".

Also when the Vietnam vets came back the hippies threw pigs blood at them and called them baby killers

@@DaughterCesar That's in the stories one guy says to another, then tells their kids, then their kids tell other kids. Truth be told nobody threw anything at anybody, and I think maybe two people got called baby killers. But that's because they did kill babies. Everybody really just welcomed their friends back. Glad they were alive.

Your parents sound really cool ❤

I was born in a rock house built by my dad on a mountain in north cali with a wolfdog sister! Like my parents were hippies lol My first memories are redwood forests like these first class flight girlies are not the sameeeeee 😫

We’ve officially reached e-girl hippies the pinnacle of late stage capitalism/techno feudalism

LITERALLY

How so? I'm just wondering what makes you think of that comparison?

@@RandomCraftsAndIdeasChannel I think its because majority of cults were ran by 'hippies' in the 60s/70s

pretty much yeah, they took the aesthetics and ran with it leaving everything else behind

What culture was "appropriated" back then? Do you know what a hippie was?

​@@J.B_alpharius a lot of eastern culture for one

@@ville__ to my knowledge, Native American and black culture (hence clip on dreads) feel free to correct me though

@reverse_Simp is def right the 60s and 70s hippies heavily romanticized Romanian and indigenous cultures ect and appropriated alot of them(the meaning of which from wiki: Cultural appropriation is the inappropriate or unacknowledged adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity)

They pretty much just naively took abunch of stuff from other cultures,making a contrived marginality and claimed it as ethical.

FR

But these cultures many around the world are based that they had contact with extraterestials, and that they have been higly spiritual people. Like many antient culture. Slavic people also have their stories about extraterestial myths. Its not racist conspiratory theory. I And to take it like this well I think it is personal opinion. Like I dont even care what this chick is wearing, saying she can throw 6 cultures at herself and I wont even bother. Cultures are constantly changing because we as people constanly changing, evolving. Some cultures die up some are created. If someone want to immerse hisself in a different culture because he find it intresting than go ahead. I wont gatekeep any cultures for anybody because I have no right to. Its like saying if someone is black they cant wear kimono... its stupid. In Japan we love to share our culture with others, if you want to wear kimono go for it. And in America I think this whole cultural approprearion was created so people would fight with each other more. So people would not enjoy other cultures but stayed at their own lain, scared. Its so stupid to the people outside you know? If you are black, blue, yellow, red or alien please enjoy kimono, enjoy whatever culture you like.

@@starchild731 except it's not immersion, it's cosplay. That's the difference. It's like saying that I, as a rich person, want to immerse myself in the struggles of the working class so I'm going to eat McDonalds once a day for a month. Saying it's like wearing a kimono is removing the context because every culture has things they don't mind sharing. I'm sure Japan has specific cultural items that aren't meant for tourists to just use freely, that hold value to them. People aren't getting pushback for wearing the things other culture's are happy to wear, they are getting push back for the things that they are taking that aren't meant for cosplay or fun and then reducing to "well I wore a kimono so I'm Japanese now and understand the Japanese struggles" without actually bothering to learn anything about Japan or it's people (kimono being just an example here).

@@nbucwa6621 well Japan is kown for cospaly, we wear thing that we think are nice and cool. And if you travel the world you will see that in Africa they will gladly braid your hair, touch your hair structure because its just different and they are courious, in India they will gladly put you in sari, in mexico they will gladly put you in sombrero and so on. Noone there is expecting you to have any deep sense of guilt for what your ancestors did. The struggles of my nation is not your struggles. Everyone coming into Japan with few exceptions know that we suffered alot. But we dont want to be peceived as victims and we dont need anyone from for ex the US to be like oh my god we are so sorry. No just enjoy the modern Japan. I know its irritating when rich person is doing poor peoples staff I get it. But in every society there will be rich and poor people. But you need to understand that world was always fighting. There were a time that we did cruel thing to koreans, chinese. And we are the same race. There were a time that turkish empire were killing white people. Like millions. Now in Africa black people are fighting with each other, like there is bloodbath. Iran and Irak the same race. So we are clearly as humanity cannot live in peace. Which is sad. We have bigger problems than someone wanting to just wear braids, kimono or do a make up in certain way. And how we suppose to measure if he respects the culture enough? If knowing the history is enough? How much history 100 years, 1000 years? Where is the line? Where is this invisible line that will make a person legit for wearing something. Its just your personal opinion and judgment. Well if you feel better critisazing people for not even your problem is fake noble. You dont do it for yourself, you do it for fake feeling of doing something good. I am sorry but in the US, which is super young country, you just closed yourself in the bubble of self hatred. You could be beautifull country rich of every imigrant culture there is. But insted you constanty fighting with each other over silly things. You are a proof that integration simply cannot happen. Because if only people of other races start to takee thing from other races even as beautifull as clothes you are like stop it, its racist. Sorry but from outsiders its just stupid and silly, and a prove how closed minded on purpose you are. What we need to understand that the wars are possible only because we are willing to hate each other to the point that we are willing to kill each other. We hate each other because a propaganda we will to accept. The propaganda mostly comes from the top, the rulling class, the rulling class controles the media that keep spreading propaganda. We should just focus on buiding better word togheter focusing on important things. And if someone choose to wear specific make up, outfit and so on is like the less important thing to hate on. Someone can be a normal, good, random person, just like you and me, which only wants to live his life and just want to wear braids as a hairstyle because he just find it cute and you will just keep critisizing them, putting this whole projection on him, like he was responsible for genoside or bad stuff himself. Its just crazy and delulu. Is fake noble. No wonder that we are being even more deppresed as humanity when we fight over such a small things. Well wish you a good day and I give you a pass to wear kimono withouth guilt and with my ancestors approval and even as a cosplay. To wear what we like, to listen what we like is the last freedom we have on this Earth. And yes these chicks are irritating but I also have freedom to not care about them 😁

I’m black too. I don’t think I’m mad at people for wearing locs but I find it very cringey to when they do. If a white person is invested in Rastafarian culture, for example, and respect the people within that culture, wearing the attire and the hairstyles could be okay, but in most cases its just white people trying to find an identity by wearing clothing that has no real value for them. Also, I play Love&Deepspace too and Zayne is also my favorite lol

Africans were not the only ones who wore dreadlocks, ancient Germanic tribes as well as Scandinavian Vikings wore their hair in dreads and braids. It’s actually very common among tribal societies regardless of ethnicity.

@@spraycheese743 Box braids and Viking braids are not the same 💀 And hippies who wear/wore braids were not trying to emulate Vikings that colonized, pillaged, and killed people lol.

I think anybody with curly hair, black or not should be allowed to wear hairstyles meant for this type of hair, like the aforementioned dreads

@@mayathedreamgirl1357 You summed up what appropriation is perfectly - people putting on another culture as a COSTUME when it's easy and fun and taking it off whenever they want to benefit from their (usually white) privilege again.

literally

Good point

True. But they were rebelling because they legitimately disagreed with their parents and the lifestyle they represented. They would rather live in a small flat in the Haight with 20 other kids and sell homemade jewelry and bags on a street corner than continue to be a part of what they saw as the problem. It's just an aesthetic for these kids.

Basically. Alot of them were draft dodgers. Why do you think they lived in vans always moving around. No home address. Alot of them were just spoiled lazy a holes. That just didn't want to work for a living.

That's true.

There are accounts of Celts wearing their hair in locs (though they vary from a black person’s locs as the hair type differs) and I really don’t think that white people shouldn’t wear locs. If they’re respectful, it shouldn’t matter.
