As a matter of fact, the foundation of what hippies wore, particularly in the beginning, was similar to Beatnik or early Mod fashion.
Although not as visible as it once was, hippie culture has never died out completely: hippies and neo-hippies can still be found on college campuses, on communes, and at gatherings and festivals.
Hippies in the 60s believed in trade or barter rather than money.
But lest we forget, this is still a college town, and with that comes a modest, but decent hippie community and certainly the largest in Indiana, with a natural foods co-op, a Tibetan-Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center, and a hippie coffee bar at Soma Coffee.
