The Hippies


The Hippies
We are going to talk about the peer called hippie.
The hippies are a group of people that was created in the Vietnam War in 1958. This gang fought against the war and they are known for their famous sentence: “Make love not war”. They also made manifestations against the war and the military forces.
The hippies took a part of the Indian culture, so they have similar clothes. They wear dirties, big, colorful and baggie clothes, like ripped jeans or “batik” T-shirts. (This is an easy method you can paint you clothes). Some of them wear colorful hair-bands on their long hair; sunglasses like John Lennon (a singer of The Beatles) or sandals on their foot. It’s only natural that they have everywhere (in bags, trousers, etc) a peace patch like the picture on the right.
Their favorite singers are the Beatles, the most famous band at that time. Their songs are listened nowadays, some of them are: “All you need is love”, “I wanna hold your hand” and “Let it be”.
This gang is harmless, because they are very peaceful. One of their favorite’s activities is practice meditation. They usually spend a lot of time at parks, playing guitars or hanging around. Unfortunately some of them are also known for having drugs, like marihuana or cocaine.
Now, a new group called neo-hippie is in the street. They don’t do exactly the same stuff that the old hippies do, like the free love, but they are still wearing colorful and baggies clothes. Many people think that this kind of people isn’t harmless but as far as we are concerned the hippies are the most pacific gang in the world.
