> hip I just realized that "hippie", "hip", "hep" make more sense, for the area in context, than the disgraceful label K-Z introduced. 'Hippie' was used for those who wanted to be "hip", i.e. "up-to-date", because "aware". Originally, the term was used in the underground and was 'hep'. Now, it is pretty clear from the sound why 'hep' can be related to "awareness". And it would make more sense, in reference to that "zone", than using terms that refer to the "mind".
