Birkenstock Gestapo

Term used in reference to a group of stereotypical, postmodern hippy-wannabes. Not to be confused with true, original, peaceful hippies of the 1960s, this modern day self-proclaimed socially conscious group often have extremely aggressive, militant views and attitudes, and will resort to physical measures during the course of their unwarranted, misdirected "peaceful protests". Readily identified by their stereotypical, common choice of footware (see, Birkenstocks), members of this social classification can be found wherever protests are being held, regardless of how valid the cause may be. see also Hipptards.
