Hippie-ism de-evolved into "Grunge", check that, those Hippies that did NOT "Join the System" were left scattered about without tether, lifeline or umbilicus, and History has recorded that there was an "outbreak" of tattered Hippie-ism that found its way to Seattle to be re-named and re-calibrated as "Grunge" . These were the very "DIRTY HIPPIES" that Conservatives and some of the rest of us found blatantly DISGUSTING . They produced >>>PUNK<<< Rock, of which I am certainly no Fan and an 'appearance' that 'reflected' a >>>care-less<<< attitude for even normal physical and mental Hygiene . Where clothing-as-Attire was identified as Uniform for Hippies, that is, beat Levi jeans, tie-die T-shirts, hiking boots and Pro Keds ,,, the Grunge wore filthy tatters, as if to proclaim some sort of Asceticism, a vomitous REBUKE of Hippies and their Attire-as-Uniform . {Uni = One,,, Form}. 'Grunge' didn't last---how could it ?
Enter Madonna and her Generation of "Wanna-be's" --- a Generation that declared "I'm a 'MATERIAL GIRL' and my insular favorite, "Girl's Just Wanna Have FUN" .
