I don't agree with this song at all. This is a great example of Fat Mike writing a silly, joke song and a bunch of stupid kids taking it too seriously. There is nothing wrong with hippies. Why would you hate someone just because they are benevolent by nature. That is the underlying concept of hippies. Their concepts of free love, peace, etc., are meant as benevolent in theory, but people can distort the views of hippies and degrade them to the stereotype of stinky bums. Also, no one seems to like hippies, which I guess would make them social outcasts. Isn't punk about acceptance no matter what? It's not about wearing spiked bracelets and punk "uniforms." You can thank the Sex Pistols for that stupid stereotype. Punk is about individuality and accepting social outcasts, which would mean that the hippies should be accepted too. Hippies should be a true punker's best friend because punk isn't about anarchy or anything stupid like that, it's about individuality and benevolence in the world.
