Hippies Hippies were largely a white, middle–class group of teenagers and twentysomethings who belonged to what demographers call the baby–boom generation. They felt alienated from middle–class society, which they saw as dominated by materialism and repression. Hippies developed their own distinctive lifestyle, whereby they constructed a sense of marginality. They experimented with communal or cooperative living arrangements, and they often adopted vegetarian diets based on unprocessed foods and practiced holistic medicine. Hippies were also known for their unique style, favouring long hair and casual, often unconventional, dress, sometimes in “psychedelic” colours. Many males grew beards, and both men and women wore sandals and beads. Long flowing so–called granny dresses were popular with women, and rimless granny glasses with both men and women. For many The Whole Earth Catalog, which first appeared in 1968, became a source for the necessities of life. It was crucial for former urban dwellers who practiced semi–subsistence farming in rural areas (in what came to be called the back–to–the–land movement). Hippies tended to be dropouts from society, forgoing regular jobs and careers, although some developed small businesses that catered to other hippies. Many critics noted that hippies had the luxury of being able to “check out” of society and remarked on the incongruity of hippies’ participation in the civil rights movement, wherein Black Americans were fighting for the right to fully participate in society.
