They just wanted to be with their friends, listen to music, drink and do drugs, get stuff for free (which happened), not work, and disrespect authority.

How is this a problem for society?

People were jealous they couldn't do the same, and also the draft dodging.

I suppose most people don't like draft dodgers, though. Vietnam was a disaster, of course. Kronkite knew what was up.

They didn't until they became yuppies in their later years. Then they helped screw everything up.

Yes and no. For instance in my case "yes, I'm absolutely able to leave my wife and kids and become a hippie" and "there's no way in hell I could leave my wife and kids to be a hippie" are both true. It's not impossible to do, but you also just... Can't.

I don't approve of the drug use, but otherwise hippies are ok in my book.

Yuppies aren't related to hippies... YUPpie is short for "Young Urban Professional". They're the opposite: trendy, douchebags with a lot of money.

The hippies thought that if the whole world got high it would solve all problems no matter how difficult.

Twenty-five years ago, they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin', man
What the hell happened?

Yeah, and that's what a lot of hippies became. They "sold out" and started voting for Regan and such.

...no? Yuppies first rose up in the mid 80s. People who spent their youth as hippies in the 1960s were in their 40s by then. At that point, you're no longer a young urban professional, you're just a professional lol.

Just like most other groups. Some were cool and others were just douchebags. It's a group I identify with most tho.
