The Nouveau Hippie

I don't know if anyone's done this before, but this is something I like to identify as. I'm calling myself a Nouveau Hippie because I feel like myself and people of my generation similar to me are a new breed. Not necessarily a special or superior breed of folk, but more along the lines that I'd like to think that myself and my piers are taking all that has been done in the world and learning from it.

I'd like to hope that after all the thousands of years human beings have been around, each generation at least tries to make some improvements. People are starting to get a new way of thinking. A way that rejects being told to believe something or do something just 'because.' A way of thinking that is finally starting to really see how much bullshit dominates society and politics. I'd really, really, just like to hope that these people are actually thinking. So, beyond this, what makes a Nouveau Hippie?

You might be a Nouveau Hippie if:

You don't know shit about how to practically apply your knowledge of economics. (or hell, maybe that's just me)
Your favorite color is CHAKRA or TUNIC. (Zelda <3 )
You carry around your own personal soap box for some humane cause.
You went away to college to become everything your parents ever feared.
You don't care what others believe, so long as their beliefs harm none.
Your personal quest for enlightenment has alienated you from your parents.
You randomly go on passion-fueled tirades about human rights on social networking websites.
You look forward to the day that someone tries to put a religious script in your face.
You approach life with logic, science, and spirit.
Your hopes and opinions about humanity are continually abused by... everything.
You smoke NOTHING and drink tea (and by 'NOTHING' I definitely, positively mean weed.)
You have a limited number of damns to give, and most are reserved for issues pertaining to human rights or kittens. The internet loves kittens.
You have a love of nature that is very nearly unhealthy.

You might be a somewhat unruly Nouveau Hippie if:
All of the above.
You're a snarky little bastard.
You worship nothing.
You secretly take pleasure in the fact that you've become everything your parents ever feared.
You notice yourself becoming increasingly judgmental of the close-minded people from your hometown
You are quite possibly a hypocrite.
You fucking hate hypocrites.


So there's room for improvement, both with my definitions and myself. But yeah. The Nouveau Hippie. Hi.

So mote it be.
