You know what makes me mad? Costumes. More specifically, hippie costumes. Like them or hate them, some great things came out of the era of the hippie. I mean, the music, who doesn't like the music? So why the heck do people want to pay tribute or mock them by wearing hippie costumes that don't elude to anything realistic about authentic hippie clothing?
Woodstock was the height and culmination of everything hippie. So take a look at the picture of hippies above at Woodstock and see if you can spot anyone dressed like the person below. People, come on, wtf?

So, how do you feel about this?
The Hippie costume is an accurate representation of the commercialization of the Hippie underground. If you do a google search for Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, the Monkey's TV show, or any of the Hippie exploitation movies, you will see actors dressed like your Hippie Costume. The effect is similar to the exploitation of the RAP underground. It both cases, the underground version was a threat to society. The threat was / is neutralized by creating an outlandish stereotype of the underground.
I'm with you, the people that make "hippie Costumes" are commercializing an era and people who are anti- commercialist. They also have no Idea what people actually wore in the '60's
let people wear rhe way they want!
