The term has meant different things over the decades, from an insult towards the 60's founders to Phish
Phans who were literally "dirty"and needed a shower. I see it different now.
What I see is someone who is the opposite of "real". Instead growing up and facing themselves with love and acceptance, , they hide behind their ability to manipulate, use, and/or imitate the "hippie" based culture and use it as and excuse to avoid responsibility and
accountability on near every level., This character is really just a mooch in a hemp wearing,
dreadlock flailing shell. They inevitably
wear out their stay everywhere or get discovered for their inconsistency to be honest, true, genuine or self-contolled. Our society makes lots of these now, and while the shell persona may be diffenerent, the issues are still the same. Lack f accountability, and ownership of
theri lives leaves them stagnant until they change,
"He was on my couch for 2 months, didn't
help out at all,
bummed the
whole time and then somehow I was and asshole when I caught him stealing some stuff from my wife. No more Dirty Hippies!"
