Neo-Hippy

Neo (new) Hippy: An individual who subscribes to much of the old-school hippy morality, (the importance of being good to others, empathetic to suffering, peace over war, love over hate, and social responsibility). While many of their core ideals may be shared with traditional hippies, Neo-hippies are, generally speaking, not Baby Boomers; they were raised in different (later) era's and, as such, generally have more modern sensibilities.

For example, in light the AIDS/HIV Crisis, they aren't into uninhibited free sexual love, or sequestering themselves into self-supporting communes, avoiding what is perceived as a "sick" society. They will organize and protest, risking bodily harm and arrest for what they believe in, and as is protected under the U.S. 1st Amendment, of the Bill of Rights. They might go to Burning Man, and carouse neked, but, if they get busy, they will always use a rubber.

Jax, you Neo-hippy! I saw your picture in the paper, running away from Trump's Secret Police, shooting tear gas, as you peacefully protested George Floyd's murder. You did us proud, girl. Hope you're alright!
