red·neck ~ n. Offensive Slang, North American informal, derogatory a working-class white person from the southern US, especially a politically conservative one.
hip·pie ~ n. (pl. hippies) (especially in the 1960s) a young person associated with a subculture which advocated peace and free love and adopted an unconventional appearance. (www.askoxford.com)
During the 1960's, many hippies relocated from the Bay Area up to the Foothills of Northern California. Since then there has been an interesting mixture of cultures. The native rednecks and the hippies have intergrated with the result being several generations of "redneckhippies". Many of us have two distinct sides of our personalities. There are times when my redneck tendencies go in conflict with my hippie tendencies. Once balanced, you have an interesting blend of the two cultures.
That being said here are a few "visual" examples.
Tie-die shirts, Wranglers & cowboy boots.
Flannel shirts over tie-die dresses.
