An old lower middle class/working poor Boomer here to tell you that "hippies"
were the 8% of the US boomer population born with a platinum spoon in their
ass and attending institutions of higher indoctrination in the late 1960s and early 1970s. There were a goodly amount of wannabes (camp followers), but hippies came from money and didn't need to work for a living. I joined the Marine Corps at age 17 in June of 1971 with a lottery draft number of 356. The Marines were the only branch of service that offered me a two year hitch. The others, four. And yes, these rich sanctimonious social justice warrior hippies precipitated the dystopia and dysfunctional generations that We the People suffer today.
I mean the hippies were not millennials ya know? We’re all guilty of this.

Will this wave of scum wash away like the hippies did?
Once there is another incident like the Manson Family murders. Of course the news actually has to report on it.
