Help Me To Choose! Punk Or A Hippie?

You can be both.

 

Train to be a ninja, its better.

 

Do/Be/Dress/Act however makes you feel comfortable and happy. Don't let labels or categories dictate how you live your life. Besides that, labels are just social borders that help keep us all divided.

Just be yourself and don't worry about fitting into some cookie cutter mold.

 

You should drink bleach. Its really punk.

 

I'm also 14 and enjoy the grateful dead as well as nausea,wolfbrigade and lots of of other kinds of music.Punk and hippie are not mutually exclusive.

 

If we're gonna generalise, have at you: I've met maybe ten-fifteen punks in the local scene who ever go to protests, and at that, rarely. Whereas I don't know a single hippie round here who's never been to one. Punks present a lot of posturing bullshit about how much action they take, and in some parts of the world it's plenty, but this whole "hippies are inactive" bias that a lot of punks have is really damaging to fostering effective relationships between the different subcultures that make up the left. I'd rather be friends with hippies anyhow, fewer of them rag on people for their tastes.

 

Neither.

 

THIS is because hippies are less... spikey!

oh... if you don`t take HIM into consideration, mkay...:

 

WTF??!! Why not be both? That way you have twice the excuse to have bad hygiene, bad manners, etc... & ya have twice the reasons to get beat up by the jocks & shot down hard by all the pretty & snobby cheerleaders at school.
I am just playin lil buddy, I will go with majority rule here & say just be you & do what U FEEL!

 

Well played.

 

If you REALLY wanted to be a punk or a hippie you wouldn't be asking other people to choose for you.
Do what you want! Don't label yourself or let other people label you LABELS ARE FOR SOUP CANS
You shouldn't have to choose between the two.
Don't try to be something you're not. It should come to you naturally. You shouldn't try for a certain "fashion" or "look" or whatever.
Just roll with what you like and do whatever you want to do

 

Punks is hippies

 

pffft... no need to.

 

We're all naked underneath it all.

 

Pretty sure that was a GISM reference dude...

I'd rather be a hippie than a punk. Maybe a Yippie. OT: OP, just be yourself and don't let sub-cultures force you into being anything else.

 

Ever heard of "rainbow punks"? Back in the early 80s in England, the punk and hippy scenes sort of melded together because they had so much common ground, and it all ended up in free festivals and nomadic sub-economies and illegal raves. Brilliant! And then fucking Thatcher came along and shat all over it. Boooooo!

 

I second that. Very well said

 

fuck hippies
