Hippie-core or (post-modern) hippie-core is a term used to describe either youth or adults who are scenesters as well as hippies. While they bear similarity to hippies of the 1960s and 1970s, they also are very different and more modern, possibly derived around the year 2000.
Those identifying as hippie-core generally believe in peace, love, natural drugs such as cannabis, mushrooms, and others. Many are vegan or vegetarian, and believe in animal rights. They are also generally very fashionable, often wearing designer jeans and clothing or tight clothes in darker colors or earth shades, dyed black hair or long shaggy hair, and a lot of current fashion trends, but usually with a hippie element to it.
A hippie-core also usually attends the shows and concerts for their scene, which may include a variety of music, but mostly hardcore punk and indie rock genres. Much of it is at a local level, but on a world wide scale.
There is much conflict between scenester groups; the "straight edge" or "sXe" group generally dislikes the hippie-core. The "sXe" is against drugs, but all attend the "scene" regularly and most merely share a general rivalry.
