I hate hippies. My face cramps with disgust and bile rises in my throat at their approach. This could be blamed on the stink of patchouli -- which has to be the foulest smell on Earth short of decaying, shit-smeared corpses -- but I don't think it's that. I know how to hold my breath. No, I just hate hippies.
But why do I hate hippies so much? I agree with almost everything they believe in: political consciousness and action; drug use and free love; mistrust of authority; resistance to corporate and consumer culture; rejection of mainstream notions of hygiene, fashion, morality, and use of cosmetics; support of creativity and expression and etc etc etc. So what the fuck? Why hate my natural allies? Punks hold the the same beliefs, and I find them almost equally repugnant. Maybe it's that I'm wary of people who come to a belief system by way of a rebellious asthetic chosen to piss off their parents, but who cares how you get to my side of the fence as long as we can hurl stones at the enemy together? Shit fuck. Maybe I feel that contemporary hippie culture is an utter betrayal of what it used to mean to be a hippie. Like, yeah, all those kids in home-made smocks playing hackeysack on the "quad" or whatever really "believe" all the things listed above, but at the end of the day they'd rather drool into their bongs to the tune of TERRIBLE MUSIC purchased with their dads' credit cards than think about making any sacrifices at all, like instead of putting colorful bear stickers on their cars they could STOP DRIVING THEM or maybe instead of worrying about cruelty to animals they could worry about CRUELTY TO HUMAN BEINGS like the people whose poverty made their wealth possible, or maybe they could EAT A BOWL OF FUCKING DICK because even Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap won't wash away the stench of privilege that enables their superficial and temporary rejection of capitalist scumfuckery. Or maybe I just hate hippies because they suck. Stupid fucking hippie fucks. 0 comments |
