In my experience, most so called "non-comformists" and "free-thinkers" are exactly the opposite. They are just conforming to the being non-comformists. Somewhere along their life, they fell into being a part of a group of "non-conformists" and "free-thinkers", and they conform to the rules, traditions, and thoughts of that group. They even feel the need to wear the traditional uniform which is often dreadlocks, clothes made from hemp, etc...

Within their little group, they strive to be more "non-conformists" then everyone else, because that would make them soooo cool.

Being a hippy is the same as being a part of any group, like goths, ravers, jocks, skaters, etc... They might not conform to the mainstream world, but they are comformists within their own group, and they are far from "free-thinkers", they simply take on the ideas and beliefs of their group.
