    Are Ravers the Hippies of the Nintendo Generation?

    I was raised by hippies. I never really thought that I was like my parents till I sat down and thought about what they did when they were my age and realized that there are some striking similarities... What do you think?

    I think there are some definite similarities. But hippies were hippies...there will never be anything quite the same as the first generation hippies.
    Darling, I would love to come over but your coffee tastes like the clap. :plurstick:

    maybe i guess but the hippie back then started as anit war collage kids. we have nothen to be angery about yeah most of are parents are now yuppies. but we have no reason to rebel so i wounld't call my self a hippie. but at late night B hits i ahve been called a dirty hippie. but i don't agree with them.

    I feel ya but how can you say we have nothing to be angry about? Remember that little tiff in Iraq? How about the Crackhouse law? We have plenty to be angry about we just choose not to be...

    Anti-rave act movement? ROAR protests?

    yeah, that's a political movement. I don't think that it's fair to call us modern day hippies though. While there are some similar ideas, this is a way different group.

    there are political movements going on, this is true, but the majority of the scene is just there to have a good time. (not that there is anything wrong with that) I guess my point is our generation usually chooses to stay out of conflict. I think it may be because we dont think that we can make a difference. Its kinda sad really, not just that the 'ravers' dont stand up and make some noise but that the entire generation is apathetic towards public policy.

    ummm...a lot of hippies were just there for the good times too.

    Since thier movement is in the past, it's a lot easier to 'glorify' it.

    that may be partially true but my point really is more that we as young people are generally apathetic toward what the government does. Most of us just sit back and complain with out actually trying to do anything about it. How many people you know actually even voted in the last election? I'm really trying to make a comment on the current incarnation of 'alternative' culture, not glorify the hippies of the 60's.

    I disagree.

    I saw a lot of people at the ROAR protest. There are many people involved in the DP Alliance, and I'm glad that people whom don't follow politics DON'T vote - they can't make informed decisions.

    I know just as many people that don't care about politics that aren't in our scene as I see people that aren't "involved" within.

    I'm with you on uninformed people not voting. I just think that people should take it upon themselves to get informed and make a decision. Thats my utopian world though and I realize that.

    I still don't see how this makes us like or different from hippies.

    We could be associated to any 'social group' from the past with small similarites.

    The disco age, Hippies, Flappers, I could go on and on.

    We're different. It's easy as that.
