Why Hippies Suck

"Hippies" suck. Let me tell you why.

I read an article in Rolling Stone about Bonnaroo that was desperately trying to make Bonnaroo look like it was something other than tens of thousands of idiots ruining the local environment by trampling down all erosion stopping plantlife, strewing the landscape with litter, getting intoxicated, and fornicating.

Rolling Stone was trying really hard, beyond the point of it being tenable to make it seem like what these people are doing was something to be emulated.

In truth, these supposedly "green" and "counter-culture" kids spent God-knows how much petrol based fuel to drive to Tennessee from all around the USA, including Colorado, New Jersey, and California, yielding God-knows how many tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

And while they were there, they consumed copious amounts of junk yeilding 79 TONS of solid waste. And I don't mean poop, though they probably left plenty of that as well. I mean trash that was strewn about on the ground as litter. Yeah, man, every day is earth day, right?

They also poisoned their bodies and minds as they used the event as an excuse to get wasted with lots of hallucinogenic drugs (which Rolling Stone glamourized, surprise) and thus thoroughly rearranged their neural networks and making them feel "like "everything's connected."

I guess it's how they are able to convince themselves that they're doing anything more than performing a terrible Halloween Costume impression of the 1960s, or that their lifestyle is somehow sustainable or green because they wear tye-dye-- they're hallucinating.

They also acted totally irresponsibly with a large number of rapes and arrests being reported. Since when was rape a part of free love?

F**k hippies. That whole scene is just as much a mainstream culture "counter-culture" release-valve as Hot Topic.

  1. I've looked around on your site, and while I don't agree with everything you say, I think this was spot on. I've known a few hippies, and I'll tell ya, they don't know what the HELL their talking about when they say they care about the enviroment, and all they do is complain about "The System" While not doing a god damn thing about it. It's all just an excuse for them to get high and not bathe. They listen to terrible music to. Just sayin'.

  2. Its true hippies just seem to complain about "the system", and say that they are helping the environment when they really are not. I also believe its just another reason for them to smoke there damn, not work, and not bathe. If actually want to do something about the "the system" then become a PUNK and grab your balls and fight it.
