I'm around quite a few hippies, and "highly vulnerable to catching a dose of conspiracy theories" is spot on.

Yeah. It funnels you towards some pretty extreme stuff. Usually fairly right wing. I find old guns interesting so I watch Forgotten Weapons. I just want to see a pleasant nerd explain how the unusual folding stock works. Next thing it’s wall to wall militias and prepper lunacy.
These people were laughing. I lived that lifestyle. Many of us had nowhere to go, others were ex Vietnam vets. Others wanted to go back to the land and embrace nature because we knew what humans were doing. We also knew about climate change and overpopulation back then. We also knew about pollution. Many of us are still around and still have the same views. But this was incredibly funny.
From punks to metalheads to hippies 😂 the three subcultures i hang with the most often lol, really hitting the nails on the head... Love your observations frankie, also really cool that you compose your own music
Not fair man. I'm a metalhead, and kind off a very mild hippie in, and I'm freaking sick and tired of hanging out with football/soccer people who only follow the popular trends and shit. Like damn. I wanna meet people like me!!!
Frankie "the sociologists plucked out eye" McNamara strikes again firmly on the piss soaked textile fibers of pop culture's felted seams and edges. Another masterful edition. Keep it up.
@@r0br33r Ironic to use the cliché “speaks volumes” when the volumes you’re hearing are actually bizarre assumptions that were not at all implied by my comment. Go ahead sunshine, I double dare you to go around town asking random people if you can deeply make fun of their entire identity on camera, see how it goes
i feel like punks, goths, ravers and hippies are overall the same people nowadays edit: i didn't expect a full blown discussion tbh :D i removed goths and metalheads out of the occasion but besides that i still stand by my point
Living in a small town makes anything even remotely "countercultur-y" blend together, there's not much else going on so we go to each other's events and gatherings. I like it a lot, personally, it's a mess lol
"Horoscopes to Hitler pipeline." - amazing insight. Humour aside, so many of the anti-vax types who ended up becoming engrossed in the world of far-right, conspiratorial thinking were old school hippies.
there wasn't ever anything far right about 99% of those conspiracies. Lot of people mix up actual conspiracies with tabloid tier bullshit. I guess nowadays you'd just call them memes, chemtrails, holograms, aliens, flat earth, all just a bunch of hogwash people probably do for fun. The anti-vaxx thing is an actual conspiracy yes but the level to which it was taken was pretty ridiculous, the whole everyone who takes it is gunna be dead in 3 months, "it's like stan's number", basically the whole anon tier takes on it were no different form the rest of the tabloid stuff. And yes most of the people over 40 who bit after all this stuff were or still are hippies the irony is not lost
Some of it seems to be via a few specific 'alternative health' blog 'news' websites. I've lost a few hippy friends that way. Turned into selfish smug antiscience types. Cult.
Funny how it's far-right now to be skeptical of big pharma, global capital and mass social coercion. Leftism apparently now means being on the side of monopoly capitalism and censorship. You've gotta be a bit slow at this point not to realise that something ain't right.
5:04 yes, just yes. Im a woman with mild Austism (23, diagnosed last year) and my mother is a walking caricature the far-right QAnon "hippie" type. When i was a was a child i remember my parents peddled the indigo/crystal child narrative, alongside pinning my undiagnosed epilepsy onto me being a psychic vampire...
i like these videos cause i can feel smugly superior that at least i'm not one of those freaks, while definitely being an incredibly-similar type of freak

Ahaha I actually found thee new age movement through both modern prog metalcore music and conspiracy theories. There's some great value life tips to be found, like meditation but the real best teachings are that which you can find from anyone and that is to be the start of the domino effect. Help yourself become what you wish to be and you will hopefully teach those around you along the way. Although, I've had many friends move away from their families that didn't help them or appreciate them in the end and then they actually achieved all their goals. The world is in a process of great change IMO and so who knows where we might end up, maybe it is all connected. Before change can occur, one must first believe in it, otherwise they will do nothing to alter their path.

mad respect to the dude with the tetsuo: the iron man shirt

Honestly Punks Metalheads and skinheads have mixed into one thing especially skinheads and metalheads have mixed alot
There a a lot of Hippie scene Hybrids.
But its awesome in my Opinion, more connection less gatekeeping ✌
Living in a small town makes anything even remotely "countercultur-y" blend together, there's not much else going on so we go to each other's events and gatherings. I like it a lot, personally, it's a mess lol
Goth, emo, and scene has basically merged into one big “alt” category.
i think that comes down to more general anti-system sentiment nowadays
1:15 bombastic side eye
tetsuo the iron man tshirt goes hard
Just discovered these documentaries. They are really well put together. Thanks for sharing your cultural observations with us.
Hippy girls were the prettiest in 1969 and it seems they still are
That's because being a hippy in 1969 was trendy. Hot girls will do anything as long as it's trendy.
There is a really stark dichotomy. They are either drop dead gorgeous or reaaaally ugly with no in between lol
@@detritus_nicely lets let him cook
May we ever get a bloopers video? There has to be outtakes of him breaking right??
These videos are like 90% bloopers
This was the funniest and most creative video I‘ve seen in years
Oh this is great
As a hippie, love it
You can see they all have to laugh at it too, either barely holding it or not even
Another great one, Frankie! Thank you! Your bits are gonna blow up something massive sometime soon, it's inevitable.

Same with the BLM LGBTQ far-left woke mob. They're becoming pretty authoritarian. They used to just be hippies.

One of the guys was on the punks and the metalheads videos as well. Now that's versatility... xD
Six minutes of some beautiful study on these "people", Frankie has truly done his research for this one.

Imagine “ frankies cultural observations. Skinheads”. That would be great.
But they don't have a sense of humour
As a skinhead, I agree.
I will never get over the way he says "analoyzing"
God I love this !! Just spent the day playing guitar in the park ( metalhead =me) and I might as well have been playing pan flute , attracted alot of hippies that wanted " manipulate me into thinking they were cool"
please do cultural observations: ravers
Absolutely. And nowadays, subculture is all going to this
He might get in trouble with yt over the level of dress they reps would be wearing(or lack there of)
He just did tho
He technically did the type of ravers already. Hippie, goth, emo, etc are rave goers
fuckin hell this was a good one, they all seem like good sports who appreciated the humour as well
All I’ve learned from these videos is that Ireland has great fashion, and some really funny people.
This is so chaotic, i love this channel.
"....and, sorry about this!.." 😂

Oh lordy I lost it at "one part couchlock armchair philosopher, two parts short term memory loss"
Love the vids keep ‘em coming
what also impresses me is how you meet all of these different people in the videos
is it just the same 8 students in different clothes every week?
Great sense of humor and awareness about human judgmental ' labels skills' of discernement!
3:30 what’s a punk doing in with the hippies

Do cultural observations: bartenders
Really pleasant background music
Next cultural observation should be done on anime fans
"Otaku"
Thats kind of a weird one because thats both black roadmen types and the the akward smelly dorks and some ‘normal’ looking people
Also hippies in Ireland only live in Dublin and are unable to be in nature because theres no wifi or a trendy coffee shop 😂
The girl with the highlights and the crystal neclace looks like a Skyrim character ✨️
These are the goth hippies. Yes, they exist, depending on what flavor of BPD their experienceing that day.
what?
Can ya do an observation on junkies.
Or uncles whos are younger than their nephews and nieces?
I love this thank you 100% on point
