100 hippie songs?

I've just read this article
https://scarriet.wordpress.com/2014/02/13/the-one-hundred-greatest-hippie-songs-of-all-time/

and thought a good percentage of these tracks are 'hippie songs' in my veiw it looks more a list of great sixties songs Im curious as to your veiws on what a Hippie Song is.
For me Donovan wrote quite a few hippie songs in his early days also ISB wrote quite a few
anyone have thoughts on this topic?

Hysterically awful. 'Hey Ya' by Outkast, '99 Red Balloons' by Nena, Louis Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World'? Someone's just taking the piss.

Re: 100 hippie songs?

Yeah ... silly blog, silly list, silly title.
'Hippie' is a straight's word, a media word that we'd never have used. Very convenient to label a group of individuals. typical establishment bullshit!
