I never knew what that nauseating smell was really called. LOL I only knew that it reminded me of musty smelling pepper, and pot.
Yeah, I dated a girl who wore it and after I broke it off (mostly because she was a hippie) a friend of mine and I were out and ran into her and she was really covered in the stuff. He said to her "why do you smell like 'Skunk-Or' ", a toy character from He-Man back in the day that smelled like patchouli.

I think alot of the reason for the blurred lines is because the modern day day hippie has basically adopted a few things from the true hippe lifestyle and thrown the "cause" out the window. As Salty mentioned, most of the origianl hippies now have careers. As for this new generation of hippies........ see my previous post.
I gues you haven't been around the new generation of hippies much. I just came back from StoneHenge music festival in Pennsylvania, and the spirit, the causes and the revolution is still very much alive. I don't consider myself a hippie, but I have to say, after that festival I am an admirer.

I was around them enough in the nineties.

the true hippies were 60's into early 70's .... anything after that are just "generic" wanna be's.

Here in the panhandle we call them panhandlers. They are on about every corner with the signs. 'God Bless', 'Vet', 'Will work for food', 'Hungry'. you name it. I don't mind giving some spare change to an old fart that looks hungry or buying him a meal, but lately there has been an outcrop of guys that are younger than me and look much healthier out there too.
One main intersection a pack of them stay off in a wooded lot each taking turns standing out on the corner.

belive it or not but that is a pretty big scam that is starting to become more popular, just think you get paid to stand there, you even get paid better than alot of the illeagal imigrants here, i mean you are not going to live the best of the best lives but you dont have to work for your money, recently up here in WI there was a guy that got a pretty hefty sentence for doing this because some people found out that he actually had a job and plenty of money to live on, but he would dress up like a bum and stand on a coner holding a sign.

If I meet someone and they smell like mix of Old spice and WD40 I instantly like the guy.
If he smells like Patchouli, I instantly dislike the guy. Perhaps I am being overly judgmental but I feel strongly that this system works.

hmm, by hippy i think 70's guy, still in tye dye, smoking some reefer, with long hair and a bandana.
by your description, you're making me think homeless/hobo... is that what you mean? or are hippies resorting to bumming change??

I was thinking same! A BUM is a BUM, a hippy is NOT same thing. Like saying all white people are rich etc etc etc etc. Uh. Dont sterotype. Been to city enough to know what you mean, knew some hippies too they ARE NOT THE SAME. sheeeeesh. The hippies I knew had JOBS, guess what here a shocker they bathed owned houses, property and even had families. See why sterotype is wrong.

There's an emotional connection with scent, so you've probly got a positive emotional sentiment when you smell it because of your dad. I, OTOH, remember the girl that I had fun with but who also would rather spend her time getting high with a bunch of guys who didn't shower....
