Well, tbf, Hippies were better known for free-love-ism, illicit substances, and fake gurus than the other groups. The free love and illicit substances probably contributed to the spread of a lot of disease, which might be why it died out.
My parents are Hippies. They don’t believe in free love, substance abuse, or the fake gurus. They are earthy crunchy people. According to them two factors caused the hippie movement to fail.
\1) The hippies were a TINY counterculture movement. I’m aware that they are talked about so much that it seems like 1/4 to 1/3 of the generation were hippies, but in reality it was more like 1/1000 to 1/100. No critical mass was achieved.
)2 More than half of the hippies sold out to capitalism and became yuppies.
Hippy, politically correct, feminist, SJW, woke…
It doesn’t matter how many times you rebrand ~not being an awful person~ people will always make goodness the enemy
SJWs were incredibly awful people.
Somehow whenever people bemoaned “social justice warriors”, I always pictured Lex Luthor slandering Superman.
Except Superman is the role model that SJWs imagine themselves to be, while holding not a single one of Superman’s qualities.
Man, you don’t seem to know anything about hippies, political correctness, feminists OR “woke”.
Politically correct just means whatever it takes to get elected which makes defending women the opposite of politically correct these days.

There are tons of hippies. You just don’t realize it till they put on patchwork pants and wire-wraps before heading to a festival.
Also world peace, anti-capitalism, conscientious objection, anti-authoritarianism, and nuclear disarmament. But don’t let that ruin your narrative.
I was listing how they were different from the other groups.
A lot of them weren’t even anti-capitalist, tbh. Look up what a Yuppie is.
A Yuppie is a “Young Urban Professional”, it refers to young adults in the hyper-capitalistic 80s, not Hippies who were young adults in the 60s.
Please stop commenting about things you clearly don’t know anything about.
