I'm not sure that the word hippie applies to the majority of the Occupy Crowd. I think maybe they wouldn't identify with it, because over the years the New Age has been derided and "hippies" reduced to the sidelines as generally ineffective.
It works for our generation because we remember hippies, and positively, but the Revisionism that has Reagan as a great President and the wars as necessary has all but buried the hippies, the New Age and many of its best ideas.
