All that's old is new again. Unfortunately.

Kinda like the late 80's pseudo-hippie movement.

Missed that movement completely...and I was around for thr original
hippie movement.

Happened around 87-92, mainly late high school and
college age people, and was probably triggered by all
the "Summer of Love" retrospectives and Beatles
shows on television at the time. The Val Kilmer movie,
The Doors, probably helped feed it too. The movement
really didn't stand for anything other than acting like
a hippie and thinking you were cool for doing so.
Grunge swept both the pseudo hippies and the LA
metal sound out from the public's eye.

They're wannabe hippies attracted to the colorful clothes, flower power
language of the 60's and early 70's and grainy movies of happenings at
outdoor rock concerts. What they were missing was the reality of a
portion of a generation of kids caught up in a lot of drug use (opening
ones mind) and living in truly deplorable conditions (communes and
Haight-Ashbury). Fortunately many of them grew up and became
contributing members of society.
