Hippies are very anti war and just want to be chilled an relaxed, to do this they listen to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and take drugs such as cannabis, LSD and magic mushrooms.

They have their own lifestyle which consists of having long hair, casual dress, sometimes psychedelic colours. males grew beards, both wear sandals and beads. women usually wear granny dresses or loose fit clothing and both wore granny glasses. the message they give is to be free and open. They just want to embrace life and keep it calm.
