Keep your hair short and your face clean shaven.
Avoid folk music festivals and people who use the word groovy.
Continue eating red meat when everyone around you is becoming a vegetarian.
Avoid Yoga and meditation.
Avoid people who talk about Karma and play with Tarot cards.
If you run into a person who likes The Greatful Dead turn around run and keep running.

Reject conceptual art and people who do odd things in the name of art and justify it with a lot of Postmodernist jargon.

No temptation here.

I've had quite enough of those hacky sack kickin', tie dye wearing, shitty jam band listening, dreadlock growing, sandal wearing folk in college.

I want to gouge out my ears with a rusty knife when I hear the Dead, Phish, String Cheese, Dave Matthews or anybody else who "jams" for 10 minutes each song.

Didn't they get the memo? THE BUMS FUCKING LOST, MAN.

I agree. Let's keep that whole era behind us.

the op has stated before that he believes in fan death, eats dogs and gets angry at waygooks who cut fat off of their samgyupsal

i personally would shake the hand of any Korean who had the hippy look: it is so rare to see any deviation from the cultural norm around here

I saw a K-dude with dreadlocks down to his waist in Jamsil on Friday. Totally took me by surprise.

I am down with anything outside the cultural norm as well. As long as it doesn't involve hippies or wiggers.

K-dudes with Eminem shirts on and baggy, sagging pants look retarded. The same goes for white dudes.

I got long hair past my shoulders but if anything...I'm more metal...don't care for the hippie thing too much.

But I suppose everyone should be oi oi oi like you...right fishead??????

I do find yoga to be beneficial as I am incredibly clumsy and it helps me be more aware of my body... and stand up straighter. Meditation can be very beneficial. I practiced Zazen for a couple months but I just don't have the obedience to keep any kind of routine. So, maybe it didn't work that well? If you're a bit more oi, you may want to check out Hardcore Zen. It's a cute little book about a dude who went all Zen and now makes monster movies in Japan.

People are always shocked that I am a crazed carnivore. My sis is the most adorable vegetarian (pescetarian actually) who sneaks meat when her veg husband isn't around (or when she's on the rag).

Anyway, I'm very American in that I subscribe to the "cafeteria" lifestyle of just picking and choosing bits of ideas and cultures that I like. I suppose if I am to be anything it's probably just a yippie or what have you. That "Stuff White People Like" site pretty much has my number!

Oh... and I favor boys with thick, bushy, Pac NW beards.

Yeah, I'm not really into the hippie stuff myself. I'm too conservative (I don't mean politically conservative) for that stuff. There are a lot of hippie types in my province, so I'm used to them. I don't mind hippies really, so long as they don't try to push their airy fairy stuff on me, I'll take them over redneck types, hippies are more mellow.
