Only a tiny fraction of Americans in the 60s were hippies. They just made so much music and other cultural artifacts that are still popular today that they stand out a lot compared to their actual population size. The average boomer was not a hippie back in the 60s, so boomers' faults can't really be entirely blamed on the hippies, if that's what you're trying to imply. Nixon won 52% of the under-30 vote in 1972, and most McGovern voters weren't even hippies.
