I was impressed by the attention to detail. These illustrations are usually so bland and generic.

    That’s absolutely not what either of those words mean. Hippies were participants in a mid 20th century counterculture with elements such as use of psychedelic drugs, cannabis use, opposition to war, communal living, free love, returning to harmony with nature, and rejection of traditional societal norms.

    Yes they had many descendant movements, such as the techno hippies (who ultimately descended into the open source movement), the new age, the Jesus freaks, etc and their influence can even be found in those who rejected them. But there were hippies who were posers and who were only in it for drugs or sex.

    Hipster is a derogatory term for young primarily urban people focusing on aesthetics and individualism thats infamously hard to pin down and is largely associated with early 10s indie and social media scenes. In fact it is largely associated with outright rejection of any mass produced culture
