The first Human Be-In was a psychedelic gathering that took place in 1967 in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, and there was another in Manhattan's Central Park a few months later, in anticipation of the Summer of Love. The "Be-In Crowd" included people like Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Allen Ginsburg, and people from Andy Warhol's Factory, including Edie Sedgwick. In other words, the counter-culture cognoscenti and the hippest of the hip. So it wasn't a bleeding crowd or being proud. Like so many lyrics from Hair, it is a cultural reference that was trendy at the time and is now obviously dated.
The line in question is actually "Do you only care about the be-in crowd" and is commonly misheard.
