Always Hate Hippies

hehe. stinky hippies

damn them hippies hoardin the good drugs for them selves

i laught a lot when i first heard this song..

i know i shouldnt take anything from a nofx cd seriously.. but i dont get the whole hippie hating thing. what the fuck is so punk about that?

comeon, its almost our responsibility to hate people who hug trees, save whales and cover themselves and everything they own in flowers...

haha my 2 nofx-loving asshole guy friends hate hippies. i guess this is their theme song or something. personally i don't get it....when you think about it hippies and punks really aren't so different.

exactly sincerlyme exactyl I ahve been trying to figure out what bothered me about this song and you perfectly put it into words. hippies and punk aren't that different, both believe in seriously questioning authority, both do drugs, both are dirty(true punks are at least), both are often poor, both are rebellios, and actually these days hippies too are often "middle class". and also i am beginning to think that fat mike just likes to make fun of people if its funny, hes kind of a jerk like that, but still funny. but personally i think he should lay off the hippies.

Let me start off by saying I'm personally offended at the comments made by sincerelyme96 and rainydayboy. Yes, punks and hippies do share similarites. Fat Mike only makes fun of people who he has clear reason to make fun of, but let me clarify a few small things. To put this into comparison with anything else, I need to go back a little into American history... throughout history there have been groups and individuals who hate each other because of their similarities. Example, Malcom X and Martin Luther King jr., though they both supported one cause -- they went about it VERY differently, one through civil disobedience, one through outright violence. To call punks and hippies similar has some truth but is also different, I cut my hair.. it's blue, i am NOT dirty, I don't do drugs very often if at all... and I don't dress like a freak(not even in a 'punk' way.) Hippies go at similar causes (i.e. protesting) in VERY different ways and to be compared is almost offensive.

Oh and by the way.. it's not "cause frank and I will cut it off for free." It's, "My friends and I will cut it off for free." (his friends being punks, not some guy named frank.)

I don't agree with this song at all. This is a great example of Fat Mike writing a silly, joke song and a bunch of stupid kids taking it too seriously. There is nothing wrong with hippies. Why would you hate someone just because they are benevolent by nature. That is the underlying concept of hippies. Their concepts of free love, peace, etc., are meant as benevolent in theory, but people can distort the views of hippies and degrade them to the stereotype of stinky bums. Also, no one seems to like hippies, which I guess would make them social outcasts. Isn't punk about acceptance no matter what? It's not about wearing spiked bracelets and punk "uniforms." You can thank the Sex Pistols for that stupid stereotype. Punk is about individuality and accepting social outcasts, which would mean that the hippies should be accepted too. Hippies should be a true punker's best friend because punk isn't about anarchy or anything stupid like that, it's about individuality and benevolence in the world.
