The long hair and sandals is a stereotype rooted in the "naturalness" most hippies pursued in their antiestablishmentarianism. When drugs became the end rather than the means, hippies became caricatures of themselves and the movement died. Even as early as the Merry Prankster's cross country trip to see Dr. Leary, hippiedom was in crisis. By the time of the well-publicized "summer of love" 1967, most hippies were part of a protest establishment rooted in imitation. In 1966, San Francisco was the hippie center, and the summer was one of love, though less well publicized.
then what does 🙄

Originally posted by WulebgrHippy is the shorthand phrase for hippocrate. They were called that by working folks aka the realists because many hippies were children from wealthy families and lived off thier parents money. They way many of college students do today. A utopian view for society is easy to see when one dosnt have to put you own food on the table. But when you have to provide a stable existence for others dependent on you for survival you change. That is why there are not many hippies in there 30's with real jobs and children.
