50's had Beatniks, 60s and 70s had Hippies, and the 80s had Yuppies

 

[Butters]

I don't think hippies do either of those things.

Not sure if Grim actually knows this stuff or if he's copyin' Wikipedia

This is all literally from memory.

To put it into perspective

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I trust that, you're usually well informed

 

[Bobby Barrows]

The hippies of the 60s and 70s were the parents of the Yuppies of the 80s.

Once the Hippie movement died, most members of that group got on with their lives as they aged and joined the general workforce and earned enough of a decent living for their kids, that Yuppies became the new hipster.

For reference, it was the Hippies of the day that not only voted for JKF, but would vote for Reagen 20 years later.

Beatniks are def an anomaly because they didn't affect the Hippie movement to any degree tbh.
