Hippies, a familiar trope of popular culture, have become something of a mythical figure in the US. Popular culture, with its portrayal of hippies as spaced-out stoners incapable of stringing together more than two sentences at a time, has done more for the creation of this myth than any movement or actions hippies have ever been involved in. Anyone who believes in a relationship form outside of the standard Noah’s Ark pair-off (vegetarianism, veganism, environmentalism, consumer awareness, class consciousness or anticapitalism) is branded a hippie by those living stagnant status quo lives.
