Hippie

Today I decided to actually look up the definition of a hippie, and I can admit, I was surprised by the result: "a usually young person who rejects the mores of established society (as by dressing unconventionally or favoring communal living) and advocates a nonviolent ethic" Now, I am called a hippie all the time with my free-spirit way of life, I love being barefoot, am naturally drawn to the outdoors, and I love the sound of good ol' rock n roll. However my views are usually more on the conservative side, and I wondered if that went against the term hippie. As you can see by the definition my conservative views actually define me more as a hippe in this day and age, because I "reject the mores of established society" meaning I reject all the liberal babble that is going on in Society now a days, and I also am very against all violence. I myself was surprised to find, that the actual definition suited me more than I thought, with the exception that I don't dress unconventionally (but lets be honest, what is unconventional now a days).
