Hippies tried to make peace in the world.Along with love and not war. They wore the old huge flares, the head bandanas, groovy hippie tye dye shirts, dude platforms, and they were just cool and I cant help the way im into them but I love them because of their style and type. I love their sayings like cool, groovy, dude, and most of all phat is my favorite.I have a Godmother named Tracie Stewart and she threw me a hippie party on my eleventh birthday and like 23 people came. The kids dressed as hippies. We had our beetle bandanas on and our little hippie colored glasses.It was so cool. We had all kinds of stuff you wouldve enjoyed. Hippies are my look up to people.So when you think of hippies as just plain old people think of me that they are my look up to people.Give them a hand at that....
