<p>I think of Reed as more hipster (Wikipedia: “middle class and upper class young people associated with alternative culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, alternative hip-hop, independent film and a lifestyle revolving around thrift store shopping, eating organic, locally grown, vegetarian, and/or vegan food, drinking local beer (or even brewing their own), listening to public radio, and riding fixed-gear bicycles”) than hippie, but if your are hippie you’ll likely feel right at home at Reed, given the general quirkiness.</p>
