Hippies: Music
built 263 days ago
Zu den Filmen, die sich mit dem Lebensstil der Hippies auseinandersetzen, gehören u. a. Easy Rider, Blutige Erdbeeren, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Cheech und Chong, The Big Lebowski, Alice's Restaurant, Das wilde Leben oder die Verfilmung der Musicals Hair und Jesus Christ Superstar. In der Literatur stellten Bücher wie Die Pforten der Wahrnehmung oder die Werke Carlos Castanedas Inspirationsquellen der Hippiebewegung dar. Eine bekannte Hippieparodie ist der verhaschte Sgt. Floyd Pepper, Bassist und Bandleader der Hausband in der Muppet-Show. Auch die von Dr. Goldzahn geleitete Band selbst ist eine Parodie auf die Musiker der „Flower-Power“-Ära – und gleichzeitig eine Hommage an diese. Weiterhin wird die Hippie-Bewegung durch den US-amerikanischen Schriftsteller T.C.

In the UK, there are many new age travellers who are known as hippies to outsiders, but prefer to call themselves the Peace Convoy. They started the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1974, especially Wally Hope, until the English Heritage legally banned the festival, resulting in the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985. With Stonehenge banned as a festival site new age travellers gather at the annual Glastonbury Festival to see hundreds of live dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and other performances. Between 1976 and 1981, hippie music festivals were held on large farms around Waihi and Waikino in New Zealand. Named Nambassa, the festivals focused on peace, love, and a balanced lifestyle, featuring workshops and displays advocating alternative lifestyles, clean and sustainable energy, and unadulterated foods.

Oddly enough, it was a generational gap between the older and younger beatniks that furthered the demise of the Beat Movement and resulted in the emergence of the sixties hippies. For one thing, many of the younger crowd didn't really go for the Beat music of choice; that is, the "cool" and "bop" jazz, best characterized by the music of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis. When jazz first emerged in the early 1900's, it was considered an absolutely evil manifestation of the most heinous moral perversions. But by the late 1950's and early 60's a lot of parents liked jazz. It was even being touted by scholars and musicologists as the only true American music. So if you wanted to torment your parents you had to turn to rock and roll.

For the next several decades, many hippies and neo-hippies became part of the Deadhead and Phish Head communities, attending music and art festivals held around the country. The Grateful Dead toured continuously, with few interruptions between 1965 and 1995. Phish toured continuously between 1983 and 2004 as well. Today, many of the bands performing at hippie festivals and their derivatives are called jam bands, since they play songs that contain long instrumentals similar to the original hippie bands of the 1960s. Psychedelic trance or "psytrance", a type of techno music influenced by 60s psychedelic rock and hippie culture is ... popular among neo-hippies worldwide. Psytrance hippies usually attend separate festivals where only electronic music is played.

Hippies enjoy smoking weed from bongs at outdoor concerts, playing frisbee and listening to the music of Phish, The Grateful Dead and the Dave Matthews Band. They differ from Yuppies, who enjoy smoking cigars at a wine bars, playing golf, and listening to the music of Hootie and the Blowfish.
