Were you of the Hippie era and did you participate as such?

I awoke early in the morning and turned on the telly.
The 1979 film, Hair was on and I immediately disliked what I saw.
The character, Claude, was the main player in the film?
What I saw was George, he seemed to be the main player, and I took a dislike to him from the start.
He seemed to me a bully who was manipulating Claude, and because of that Claude was a greatly diminished person.
I could not watch this film to the end as it was cringe.
I am sure I would never have joined the Hippie class if I was around at the time.

What was going on in the 60s and 70s is exactly what's taking place on the world stage today! Drugs are all there, wars and factions are all in place, we have Trump instead of Nixon, we have 30 year old incels who live in their mother's basements who don't date anyone nor ever have, instead of 30 year olds back in 1969 who dated everyone in sight, who got laid on the hoods of cars at Woodstock, but were responsible enough to run through the mud to a phone booth while half-stoned to call home to mom to let her know you made it there okay.
