If you are referring to those hippies from the 60s and 70s, they grew older. The war in Vietnam ended and Nixon was gone. With those two objectives met, there was little to protest. Ford seemed like a pretty decent person, but the worst thing he did was to pardon Nixon for what he "may have done". That was a big mistake.
Things settled down in the 70s and many hippies found themselves, then found themselves in need of something better, so they went to school. So, all those anti-establishment people are now part of the establishment... or they are retired from it.

I know plenty of hippies. They have mostly assimilated into society- as professors, store owners, accountants- I even know one hippie who is a police officer. This of course doesn't keep a few of them from growing pot in their backyards.

I didn't realize they'd gone anywhere. They're getting old, bald, crippled up, but they're still around. I see them every day in our community.

Willie is still around and is still very successful! Can you be a hippie and be successful?
