from my personal viewpoint, the only significant difference between today's ravers and today's hippies is the dress code. and even that is hard to distinguish sometimes.
apparently back in the 60s there were hippies who actually were pro-active about their politics... but i suspect that the majority of hippies from that era are just taking credit for the actions of a few, while they were just in it for the free love & acid trips. Hell, i even know a few activist type people who could be classified as hippies by their dress & lifestyle. Although the fact that they're actually educated & active about something lessens their hippie-ness in my eye ('hippie' is a derogatory term in my language, as i'm sure is obvious by now). i guess another difference would be that ravers are somewhat less hypocritical, at least they don't generally preach any ideals that they themselves barely even attempt to follow - which seems to me to be the trademark of today's hippie. as for rave music being disco back from the grave? heh, not a chance. Nothing about raves or ravers will ever evoke as strong of a reaction from the general poublic as disco did. even with all the anti-rave propaganda the media has produced over the years, we'll never see a backlash as strong as the disco backlash. Partly because Disco paved the way for rave, but mostly because the true rebellious spirit of rave music has been dead for over a decade already, and there just isn't anything left that is that threatening to the values of mainstream society. Disco unleashed this crazy sexual energy that encouraged people not to be afraid to be themselves, & be proud of it. it was hugely empowering to people who'd been subtly (or not so subtly) oppressed in our society, like women & gays. Despite the backlash it generated, the walls it broke down have never really come back. Raving can be empowering to people on a personal level, but it's really not making any big waves in society. not anymore anyways....

it seems to me that hippies were motivated by a political agenda while ravers are motivated by a social agenda. hippies were preaching against and for all sorts of political causes while most ravers wax on about having found a special place where people can be themselves, everyone is friends and blahblahblah. hell, ravers are even defined by the place where they congregate. hippies are defined as, well, being hip. ha.

Is a fish the same as a frog?
No, but they're alike. That's how I'm thinking about it, you might not see it as I do, but it makes some sense. =/
