Hippies

Problem: They're the most judgmental and close-minded people out there. I was once at a David Grisman Quintet concert in Bozeman MT. It's not really my style of music but I became engrossed in it and neared the stage and stood to watch/listen. A young hippy girl spun all around me and said, "If you're not gonna dance man you should just leave." I've never been so annoyed by another person at a show. She makes my skin crawl to this day. My response, "I'm actually listening."

Hippies tend to listen to a small handful of bands/artists but in heavy rotation and are, despite popular opinion less open minded than most.

Solution: Hippies, stop sucking. thenewgreen, stop generalizing.
