dbo:abstract
  • Zippie was briefly the name of the breakaway Yippie faction that demonstrated at the 1972 Republican and Democratic Conventions in Miami Beach, Florida. The origin of the word is an evolution of the term Yippie, which was coined by the Youth International Party in the 1960s. After these events, "the Zippies evolved back into Yippies", but the word Zippie remained, used by record labels, rock bands, and assorted others. In subsequent years, zippie has arisen in reference to 1990s technopeople, in contradiction to yuppies. In the 1990s, Fraser Clark and others created a unique subculture that combined the "1990s techno hemisphere with the 1960s earth person". Zippies were thus advocates of PLUR (Peace Love Unity Respect), which originated on the alt.raves and alt.culture.zippies usenet groups. (en)
