Zappa wasn't the only one to understand the
limitations of the emerging hippie stereotype.  An
early milestone was the Death of Hippie Parade on
October 6, 1967, in San Francisco:

THE DEATH 
OF HIPPIE

October 1967 
Published anonymously

OCTOBER SIXTH NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN

MEDIA CREATED THE HIPPIE WITH YOUR HUNGRY CONSENT. BE
SOMEBODY. CAREERS ARE TO BE HAD FOR THE ENTERPRISING
HIPPIE. The media cast nets, create bags for the
identity-hungry to climb in. Your face on TV, your
style immortalized without soul in the captions of the
Chronicle. NBC says you exist, ergo I am. Narcissism,
plebeian vanity. The victim immortalized. Black power,
its transcendent threat of white massacre the creation
of media-whore obsequious bowers to the public mind
which they recreate because they too have nothing to
create and the reflections run in perpetual anal
circuits and the FREE MAN vomits his images and laughs
in the clouds because he is the great evader, the
animal who haunts the jungles of image and sees no
shadow, only the hunter's gun and knows sahib is too
slow and he flexes his strong loins of FREE and is
gone again from the nets. They fall on empty air and
waft helplessly to the grass.

YOU ARE FREE. WE ARE FREE. DO NOT BE RECREATED.
BELIEVE ONLY YOUR OWN INCARNATE SPIRIT. Create, Be....
Do not be created. This is your land, your city. No
one can portion it out to you. The H/Ashbury was
portioned to us by Media-Police and the tourists came
to the Zoo to see the captive animals and we growled
fiercely behind the bars we accepted and now we are no
longer hippies and never were and the City is ours to
create from, to be in. It is our tool, part of the
first creation which the FREE MAN creates his new
world from.

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN
ARE CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness –
That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from
the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and
to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on
such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such

their Safety and Happiness.
