On the Poverty of Hip Life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | Hip life creates and consumes new roles guru, craftsman, rock star; new abstract values universal love, naturalness, openness; and new mystifications for consolation pacifism, Buddhism, astrology, the cultural debris of the past put back on the counter for consumption. |
 | | The Haight-Ashbury, the rock festival, the hip pad were supposed to be free spaces where separations broke down; but hip space became the space of passivity, of leisure consumption of separations at another level. |
 | | Although the hip lifestyle was really only a reform movement of daily life, from his own vantage point the hippie could see that the politico had no practical critique of daily life (that he was straight). |
