"have long hair they were necklaces and were head bands."
this is a horribly incomplete notion of what a hippie "was" and "was doing".
TRUE hippies, and i won't sugar coat this so as to not mislead people.
TRUE hippies were a new take on the beat generation. Wikipedia generally defines the beat generation, stating "Central elements of "Beat" culture included experimentation with drugs and alternative forms of sexuality, an interest in Eastern religion, a rejection of materialism, and the idealizing of exuberant, unexpurgated means of expression and being."
The "hippie" was the new social vehicle for this aging wisdom. Hippies had beards, long hair, strange fashion, headbands, necklaces, and other questionable hygiene decisions because it was all meant to REFLECT a knowing that society's social and fashion norms were neither here nor there; ENTIRELY subjective. The hippies meant to highlight this fact by demonstrating their unwillingness to comply, which was only strengthened by the numbers doing it. This was effectively rebelling against fashion, rather than a fashion revolution. It was not about the superficial ideas of fashion as they are sold to people today. A true hippie first believes a series of self evident wisdoms which manifest in their individual image and style, RATHER than picking up a style to try and sell your inner self as is popular today. Hippies were the real rebels. They knew why, instead of just knowing they wanted to.
Hippies did drugs. Although they tried many, the class of psychedelics is most acredited and most responsible for the spiritual influences upon the subculture. Back then psychedelics like LSD and psylocybin (the active compound in shrooms) were widely known. Both enhance one's awareness and appreciation for the natural world, and allows us to view this world from a lens of perspective different from our own, while also allowing oneself to regain control over the ego, making it work for the soul, rather than seeking it's own pleasure at the expense of a greater satisfaction, a greater good.
The hippies were responsible for such forward thinking as clean energy, anti dogmatic spirituality (spirituality without the politics of religion), new forms of sexuality including non monagomy, new forms of governance revising the faults of capitalism, organic farming, sustainability (support yourself, do not depend), and anti materialism ie technology is a tool to humanity, not it's savior.
Romanticized recounts of the hippies of the sixties are often void of ANY of the wisdoms that hippies understood intuitively. If you want good content on the ideals, read The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, Be Here Now by Ram Dass, and watch Easy Rider.
To put current times into perspective, the baby boomers are Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Today's twenty year olds give or take are the Luke Skywalker. We must remind the now middle aged, largely middle class that THEY found the solution, but we can refine it, and together restore peace to the world.
Please let me know if i should delve deeper into any one of these issues.
Hippies were known for promoting peace, love, and harmony, often through music, art, and alternative lifestyles. They stood out from others by their unconventional appearance, use of psychedelics, and views on social and political issues. While some communities viewed them as free spirits and proponents of positive change, others saw them as rebellious and a threat to social norms.
People may do things for others' benefit out of empathy, compassion, and a desire to help. It can also foster a sense of connection and community, deepening relationships and creating a more positive environment for everyone involved.
A community can fall apart due to lack of communication, social conflict, breakdown of trust, or external factors like economic decline or natural disasters. When there is a breakdown in relationships, shared values, or infrastructure, individuals may feel disconnected and choose to disengage, which can lead to a community's decline.
Some benefits of forming a society include increased protection and security, shared resources and infrastructure, opportunities for cooperation and collaboration, and a sense of belonging and community.
The community might value stability and uniformity over individuality and change. Sameness can promote unity, minimize conflicts, and create a sense of predictability for its members. It may also be enforced or reinforced by social norms, cultural traditions, or governing bodies within the community.
Good things about the Midwest include friendly people, strong sense of community, and affordable cost of living. Some potential downsides may include harsh winters, lack of diversity in some areas, and limited access to cultural amenities compared to larger cities.
Some good things about a community is that social interaction creates the feeling of people being part and parcel of that community. A negative aspect is that some people don't feel part of the community, so they don't contribute anything significant to the maintenance of the community structure.

"Hippies" drank the same things everyone else drank: tea, coffee, cola, root beer, beer, hard liquor, water, sprite, etc.
People live in a specific community either because they grew up in that communtity or they have heard good things about the place.
A community needs many things such as people who love and nurture other people. A community is not nessecerily made of buildings, because there is a community in Kenya which has no buildings at all, so i would say that a community needs family, friends, love and courage.
'Each' is used to refer to every one of two or more people or things, regarded and identified separately.
