Occasionally derogatory term used for someone with [[liberal]] political beliefs, the term "Hippie" refers in fact to the anti-war movement spawned by the [[Vietnam War]] in the 1960s. Hippie culture was dominated by this theme, and the theme of [[rock 'n roll]]. Hippie culture also became associated with recreational drug use, "[[free love]]," although these associations were not held by every "hippie."
== Hippies in Pop Culture ==
"Hippies" are the archnemeses of [[Eric Cartman]], a character in the cartoon show [[South Park]] on [[Cartoon Network]].
In the hit show [[Futurama]], the Emperor [[Lurr]], lord of the planet [[Omicron Persei 8]], eats a hippie in the episode entitled, "The Problem with Popplers." This episode featured a hippie lobbying for ethical treatment of extremely tasty alien animals.
