As one of the minority here who can actually speak to 'hippie' ideals,
I've no idea what he's talking about. Give an old hippy your average
sunny ambient album and a fat doob and he's not going to turn dark on you.
Blissout & Chillout were what hippies did best.
I think people need the dark stuff as an anodyne to the sunny stuff.
Chillin' with a touch of nightmare is sometimes just the thing.
