 * Language**
 * Most Hippies spoke American English, but the had their own slang.
 * Cat: Is a term used for a guy.
 * Fox: A good looking man or women.
 * Sex Pot: A seductive women
 * The Fuzz: Police


 * Social Stratification**

Hippies felt isolated from the middle-classed society. They liked long hair, unconventional clothing, sandles, and wearing beads. They were frowned upon because were known for dropping acid, and smoking marijuana.


 * Gender Roles**

The gender roles of hippies are pretty much like typical 60's American families. Women were excepted to marry in her late teens, or early twenties, start a family as soon as they can. They are expected to be the caretaker and take care of her husband and children.


 * Sexual permissiveness/restrictiveness**

A lot of hippies were known for their wild sex life's. Many were involved in wild sex orgy parties, and temporary relations. Hippies experimented with Free Love and a sexual revolution rose which caused many Americans to ditch their puritan sexual attitudes.


 * Family structure**

With hippies, they were pretty free-spirited people. The walked around nude a lot, exposing their bodies. Being hippies and parents at the same time wasn't a good choice sometimes. They let their child stay home from school anytime they wanted too. The hippie creed was " no rules, no limits". Often, if the kids asked to use acid, marijuana, or even magical mushrooms, they would let them try, because they would feel hypocritical.


 * Summer of Love**

The summer of love all started in 1967. As many as 100,000 people gathered to the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, creating a phenomenon of cultural and political rebellion.This was the epicenter of the hippie revolution, a melting pot of music, psychedelic drugs, sexual freedom, and politics.


 * Food Gathering**

Most hippies ate organically. They gathered what the could find from the woods during spring, and summer. They would grow gardens, and harvest food from there. Nuts was a stable food, too.


 * Religious/Spiritual believes**

Hippies were part of a counter culture movement and were not defined by a religious affiliation. Most hippies were Buddhist and Hindus. They were also worshiped nature a lot.


 * Use of Art**

The Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The Animals, CCR, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, etc. Dreds were pretty popular amongst most the the hippies.
 * Music:**
 * Body Modification:**


 * Entertainment**

Yoga was also popular. It would release all the bad energy, most hippies had a mantra. I would imagine that taking psychedelic drugs would be entertainment also considering that it would alter their state of mind... giving them some sort of entertainment.
