If California proves to cause the landslide of marijuana legalization across the country like I think it might, modern hippies will truly be in the right place at the right time. I always admired their pacifist aspects and idealism. I hope they can retain that, and maybe the general style of it all, but hold on to normal hygiene standards. It's the lack of cleanliness that diminishes hippies in my view. I wouldn't want to be one, but they'd be fun to hang around with now and then.
EDIT: If hippies are making a comeback, then there seems to be a cycle going, unless I'm totally off base. Beatniks -> Hippies -> Punks -> Goths/Emos -> Hipsters (pretty much Beatniks v2) ->Hippie v2 (I wonder if the movement will take a different label?). I wonder if a punk resurgence with giant mohawks for all is coming our way in 2020? At least the music will be good.
