Neo Hippies come in two forms: the real and the fake. First we will deal with the real. Real neo hippies are individuals that come in all different colors, sizes, subcultures and habits, but all agree on one thing: free is best and everyone's invited! These environmentally and socially-conscious people are inclusive, in tune (with the earth and themselves, recognizing the good and bad within each) people that love listening to late '60's/ early '70's music, watching '60's/'70's movies and think Bob Dylan is a prophet. Neo hippies embrace all types of music though. (They may also listen to Phish, but this band usually identify the preferences of fake neo hippies.) Although they usually attempt to be extremely health conscious (vegans, vegetarians, semi-vegetarians, yoga, meditation), they most definitely smoke copious amounts of pot, most times cigarettes and partake in harder drugs with no remorse; or don't do drugs at all because they feel it clouds their state of consciousness. They do not mind a smelly person and usually have personal hygiene issues themselves. Love the great outdoors and go camping, hiking, backpacking at least 7 times per year. Has gone on at lease two trips to the mountains solo. Sometimes can be characterized by flowy clothing (women); but as stated before, the real neo hippie is person of many undertakings and attitudes, so can not be identified by clothing. Definitely into Boca burgers (even if they eat meat), incense, health food stores, Patchouli, thrift stores finds (which is distinct from 'hipster' thrift store style) and making sure everyone feels a part of their parties, gatherings, etc. They realize that inclusive is the new exclusive because the people that are there are the people that are suppose to be there. Can be found volunteering at the local non profit, community-oriented organization. Usually a self-described activist that is anti-war that frequents protest marches and loves 'organizing.'
Fake neo hippies are usually white suburban kids who often wear patchwork pants (guys and girls), plaid shirts (guys) and have dreadlocks (girls and guys). They love Phish, Umphrey's McGee and String Cheese Incident. Very inclusive group of individuals that are drawn to others that dress and look the same and are frightened by diversity. Basically yuppies and suburbanites who decide to wear patchwork instead of Gap, but possess the same shallow ideals and large bank accounts care of mommy and daddy.
I once heard an excellent word to describe the fake neo hippies: trustafarians.
If you have ever had a party where everyone's invited, you may be a real Neo Hippie .
If you have been to more than 10 Phish concerts but have never had a conversation longer than 30 minutes with a person of color, you are indeed a fake Neo Hippie . Please check yourself!!

A modern day hippie, someone who incorporates both urban and hippie lifestyles. An urban hippie may listen to hip hop, but also smoke blunts underneath trees while wearing sandals. He/she has very liberal viewpoints and uses drugs occasionally, and also might use the slang of West Coast rappers naturally. They are street smart to survive an urban atmosphere, and they are not afraid to speak their liberal mind using big intelligent sounding words and gangsta lingo as well. An Urban Hippie may be any race or gender. They are also the tightest people you will ever meet.
When I am riding in my chevy listening to Dr. Dre's The Chronic while wearing my rainbow sandals and "Let's Hug It Out" shirt, I feel like the Urban Hippie that I am. Oh, and i'm smoking weed simultaneously. (=
plur, dawg

A person that do what they want, wear what they want and say how they feel. They promote peace and love, and they are the most chilled people & they don't let anything bother them. Not all hippies do drugs and have low hygiene. They love nature and animals and 99% of them are vegans. They refuse to eat animals and anything coming from animals.
I admire that she is a modern hippie, so loving and peaceful.

Left winger born too late for the Vietnam War, so he/she felt like he/she has to scream insults at Bush, make bogus charges about US Soldiers shooting Iraqi/Afgan civilians in cold blood, and refuses to accept that Saddam had WMD's, but just moved them to neighbouring Syria or Iran, and that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were legitimate.
Rightous Man: Who's screaming "fuck Bush" and "No Blood for oil" at the top of her lungs?"
Rightous woman: "Oh, Just some Neo-hippie Moron."

New Hippies or Neo-Hippies are basically the same as the hippies of the 60's. They are politically educated, read the news, protest the war to a certain degree, and experiment with drugs (from MJ to LSD). They are simply more modernized then the 60's hippie, but share the same loving ideas
I'm going to the capital to protest the war this saturday. come be a new hippie with me!

n. A bathing technique that involves grungy hippies or hair-brained liberals that are protesting getting hosed down with a fire hose.
That pot head welfare recipient is in desperate need of some hippy wash.
Technology not so much hippie in origin as hippie in use. A way to live life based on hippie philosophy (Turn on, tune in, drop out" Timothy Leary, 1967) realized using 21st century tech.
Being able to travel permanently around the country in an RV while maintaining an online life for income. Using market capitalism to be free like an anarchist.
Guy: "How can you travel year round and follow all the concerts, festivals and Be-ins and also go to all the Ren Fairs? Don't you have to be rich to do that?"
Me: "My hippie girl and I are no where near rich cat! Thanks to Hippie Tech like 4G, twitter, blogs, etsy, eBay and virtual commuting/contracts we can do whatever the hell we want, wherever and whenever! You grok me brother?"
Guy: "Far out man!"
