How did the hippie men and women become yuppie men and women just 10 years later?

Question by Savvy Bulge: How did the hippie men and women become yuppie men and women just 10 years later?
A complete 180, as loving things instead of each other, representing fear (of not getting enough) rather than love.

There weren’t any gizmos back then to have–just a Ferrari, Atari, and Hawaii.

I can only guess it was drug addiction. “I can’t afford the coke that Cindy’s got and I can’t F enough male dealers to make up for it!”

30 years later we are still living in that mentality and its only going to get worse as the population gets poorer, dumber, and fatter.

They’ll have to redefine “love” in the dictionary bc new generations will not know what it truly is–qualia will have changed.

Not all of them did. It’s true that some got jobs and discovered that material stuff is fun after all, and living on a dirt floor in a barn and staying stoned all day eventually stops being fun. But a lot of them stayed in college, got advanced degrees so they could stay in college as professors, and are still there teaching the same ridiculous peace-love crap that they learned as students. Sounds like you’ve been listening to some of them.

I’m like right after the “hippie generation” and I never got it either. I do like the music of that time though, when I was a kid. I think it was a complete rebellion against the values of their conservative parents who grew up in the 40’s and 50’s. And that generation greatly resented the draft. Watch “Nixon” sometime. Interesting movie.
