Question

How come we still have New Age people but no more Hippies? They are pretty mcuh the same.?

Answer 1

au contraire mien fraire...hippies and new agers have very little in common except that some people might perceive them as eccentric or strange.  Their values and beliefs are very different. People should not judge books by their covers.

Answer 2

There are hipsters. Your new age hippies. Except they're into health about as much as the hippies of the 60's were into psychadelic drugs. Somehow as I type this I'm beginning to agree with you. Our hippies are old and dying like Gary Zukav and Wayne Dyer writing spiritual books and speaking in hushed tones when interviewed. In the US we can't trust each other enough to be REAL hippies anymore. Will anyone here woman or man hitch a ride or offer to pick up a hitch hiker. Chances are . . .not really.  

Answer 3

If they are the same then how can you say you dont have them any more?  Obviously hippies just changed their style of dress.  Its a new hippie upgrade that makes them stealth hippies.

Answer 4

They are not the same, and anyway what they each are will vary depending on who you ask.  Why do you even want to know?

Answer 5

Hippies had to get jobs in the real world and you'll find most of them now probably wear suits or high heels to work.

Whereas the New Agers can thrive in a market place that likes everything alternative more every year it seems.

They're not pretty much the same to me ... one sold out cause they had to and the next cause they chose to :-(
