14. The 4 classifications of todays Hippie
The first type of what is called "modern-day hippie" is the true-blue hippie, a true child of the 1960's counterculture.
They are the true picture of a full-blown hippie, who lives the original hippie values from inside and out.
15. They protest against war and violence as they promote peace
On the other hand, they also like to engage in unusual activities, use odd clothes and accessories, and experiment with drugs in their advocacy for liberal rights.
16. Granola Child
The second type of a modern-day hippie is a somewhat downplayed version.

18. The Angry Hippie
They are more futuristic, and like to show off their hippie values in enhanced, exaggerated ways

19. They exhibit their opinions though rave parties where they mostly consume large amounts of drugs and alcohol
20. The Rippies

They tend to wear the trendy, designer versions of distinct hippie clothes and are referred to as the hippies who have lost their political activism.
