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.

How do you conform to being a non-conformist?
I'm not part of a group of non-conformists or free thinkers and I do no conform to anyones rules, traditions or thoughts. I do not have dreadlocks or any clothes made from hemp.
I'm also not a hippy and not all those that are against war are hippies. In fact, not all non-conformists or free thinkers are hippies. Many of them are teachers, scientists, philosophers, maybe even housewives, whatever...
But I will guarantee you one thing... NONE of them are soldiers.
