The 1960's classic, Volkswagen's Type 2
The Volkswagen Hippie Van |
This classic was commonly seen as art work. Symbolic to the era it was established. Even in the 21st century it is seen as something of value. the Peace sign is something most Hippie Vans will have as well as colourful pictures or flowers. This van is for those who are more artistic and on the go, I'd say.
Where does the term "Hippie" come from?
The trend "Hippie" was or is a culture originally from a youth movement that arose in the United States of America during the 1960's and soon after spread around the world. The term 'Hippie' came from the word 'hipster' which was it's own culture and/or community. Hipster's had the own way of dressing and listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution and some say they had used drugs such as cannabis and magic mushrooms. People from all ages are still living in a world embracing the Hippie culture.
