If you want to know what an American hippie is read The Fifth Sacred Thing. For a short answer, I would say the culture is very much like diy punk. In some cities we share the same dumpsters, FNB, free boxes and even the same houses. But usually hippies are into pacifism, and with a heaping spoon of eastern spirituality or religion mixed in. However some punks are pacifist and some hippies pick up weapons like the Weather Underground.... Probably the biggest difference is the shallowest one: aesthetics.

all I know is that in my old age (yes, 21 is old) I've started to hate both hippies and punks and fallen in love with NICE PEOPLE, despite what the call themselves.

Classifications of lifestyles and interests is a lame thing to do, be yourself don't join a group if it's not you.

I hate naming myself as belonging to a certain sub-culture. It's fucking impossible, uncomfortable, unnatural and makes me itch. Trust me, I have tried (high school and puberty make humans do funny things)I have different pieces of personality that I express in different situations and while some would say that makes me a poser, I say that it makes me human. why do we feel the need to be something..punk, hippy, crusty, metal, goth, prep, yuppie, etc. why can't we just fucking BE. I hate it when I see people trying so hard to be different that they box themselves into a stereotype they can't escape from. in answer to the beginning post. hippies, are people and that's all.

There used to be more of a difference, before punk was commercialized, but it's only a musical and visual style.

hippies are dirty and so are punks,
they're probably not so much different from each other and all it is is different influences, different looks, different generations,
they were standing up for peace, and then ten, fifteen years later the punks go, "fuck it, were moving on"

. i think that hippies and punx don't have to be labels they could simply be a matter of opinion, mind set, and choices.

(not all punks )

drum circles can last hours and hours longer than any punk show. if it comes down to "hippies" vs "punks" harcore its gotta be called a tie.
