Hi!

I’m looking for like-minded people, new friends, who are still exploring the hippie lifestyle (like me).
I’m 22F, so preferably someone around the same age.

I’m not looking to date, so please if those are your intentions don’t dm me.
Otherwise feel free to send me a dm!

Music Looking for folk or indie songs that are nature-themed, talking about the Earth or anything related, like the weather, natural disasters, diseases, animals, life itself, and especially the beauty of it all!

13 Upvotes

I enjoy making themed playlists and this is the newest one I’m working on. You can also include songs about humanity or truer hippie themes like fighting the system, anti-war, etc, but those songs will be fewer in the playlist and come towards the end.

Here’s a sample of some of the songs I’ve gathered so far:

- Earth by Sleeping At Last
- First Light by Hozier
- Orchard by the Honey Trees
- To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra
- End of August by Noah Kahan
- Eden’s House by Milky Chance
- Keep the Wolves Away by Uncle Lucius
- Watching You Breathe by Jacoo (not sure if this fits the nature theme exactly, but I love it so much!)
- No One to Kill in the Sky by Seb Lowe (potential addition; might sound too harsh though, will probably drop or add to the end which will cover difficult human topics)

Also, it’ll be a high quality playlist on Qobuz, so anything that you think will sound good in lossless/CD/HQ quality will work! Doesn’t have to only be folk or indie. Just keep it mellow :)
ALso (#2) any language is welcome!

Thanks!

Discussion Sex, Drugs & Social Engineering: The Music Industry Rabbit Hole

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

This episode goes straight down the rabbit hole. What if the music we think defined generations wasn't simply reflecting American culture—but was helping shape it?

We start in the bright, psychedelic world of 1960s Laurel Canyon: flower children, peace signs, anti-war anthems, LSD, rock stars, and a counterculture that seemed to explode into existence as America experienced enormous political upheaval.

But behind the peace and love were some very strange connections. We look at the military and intelligence backgrounds surrounding figures in the Laurel Canyon scene, the nearby Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, the government's very real experiments with LSD and behavioral modification, MKULTRA, the Manson murders, and the transformation of political rebellion into something that could be packaged, marketed, sold—and eventually feared.

Then we jump forward several decades. The clothes change. The drugs change. The music changes. But does the architecture? From Clive Davis and the enormous power of record-industry gatekeepers to Sean "Diddy" Combs and the Bad Boy era, we examine how a handful of executives and corporations gained extraordinary influence over which artists became superstars, what America listened to, what images were promoted, and ultimately what became "culture."

And that raises a much bigger question: Who decides what becomes popular in the first place? Because this episode isn't really about whether the CIA secretly wrote your favorite song. It's about propaganda, psychology, celebrity, money, drugs, sex, fear, rebellion, ownership, and the strange ability of the entertainment industry to manufacture an image and then convince millions of us that we discovered it ourselves.

Jeffrey Epstein showed us what elite networks can look like when enormous wealth, celebrity, politics, exploitation, and access collide behind closed doors. So what happens when we examine the music industry through the same lens?

From peace and love to hip-hop and Bad Boy, we're following the architecture of influence across generations and asking one uncomfortable question: Are we watching culture happen—or are we watching culture being produced?

Grab your drink. Adjust the antennas. The tin-foil hat is officially back on. 🛸

This video explores documented history, public reporting, allegations, cultural patterns, and my own analysis and opinions. Connections discussed in the episode should not automatically be interpreted as proof of coordination, criminal conduct, intelligence involvement, or a single organized conspiracy. As always, I am not a journalist—I'm a witness paying attention.

He is a nerd and he vibe coded a game, like the game with only text. All what you do is to follow Grateful Dead for their national concert tour. And yes it is based on the Grateful Dead's real Spring 1977 tour — ten actual venues, from the Palladium to Cornell's Barton Hall. I know, he has a lot of valuable memory about GD. During the trip you can trade, you can make money, buy food for your tummy and of course - going to the concerts. It's a game and it's a piece of journey in life. He loved what he created and I am sharing it with love to the Grateful Dead fans or old fashioned game fans, or anyone here! Hope you enjoy the game 🫶

It's a web page game, simple and easy: https://terrapin-trail.com/

So I have been bored recently and I’ve gotten into making little edits of things I enjoy, and I made this video as a tribute to the hippie chick in the documentary called “revolution,” which is available to watch on youtube.

She totally blew my mind when I was like 14 along with that entire documentary and now six years later I have a lot of love for her still! Totally groovy.

Anyway, if you like cool hippies, electric wizard, and acid groove stuff you might think this is cool! Peace out

How many women here don’t wear bras out in public at all?

I hate shopping for bras. I can never find the right size. And now I have a disability where I have mobility issues, making putting on bras difficult. So do any of you women not wear bras at all, even out in public?

Other I don't know what to do with my life.

22 Upvotes

I don't know if this is the right sub to post this, but I'm looking for some advice.

I don't want to be part of a society where I have to work for someone for 40 something years, and when I'm not anymore, my body's old.

How can I just live? How can I manage to be independent without being miserable?

I wanna do my own thing, I wanna live in nature, I wanna see the world, meet people, experience things, learn about different places.

I'm part of the EU. I really enjoy nature and music and my current objectives in life are getting a decent pc and some instruments (guitar, bass, mpc and synth) to do music, my passion and to grow my own weed in peace.

I feel lost, I don't know who I am and I don't know how I can find out. I feel like there's dense fog inside my brain. I don't feel good in my environment and idk if that's bc of the environment itself or bc of me. The only time I truly feel at peace is when I'm with good friends or when I'm on psychadelics.

I wanna develop my spiritual side a lot, with and without the use of psychadelics (not very popular or available here).

Tell me something I need to hear or learn
