In the 60s, I'd have been a mod - not a hippie. I'd have been a hippie in the 70s.

The Hippy movement began in 1966, but came to prominence in 1967, the so-called "Summer of Love" and gained even more notoriety with the Woodstock Festival - hence the "Summer of '69"
Mods, on the other hand, are parka wearing wallies who ride underpowered hairdryers and have targets on their back so that everyone knows where to aim 
Oh and they were popular from 1964-68

Also, flower child =/= hippie.

There is a difference between a flower child (pre-summer of love, girls with flowers in their hair and long floaty dresses, guys in kaftans and similar) and a hippie. Hippies came post 1969, following Woodstock, flower children were around before then.
As I said in my first post, it's a matter of semantics.
