Naw, ha ha ha... Not really, they where a different breed... The "peace sign" had turned into a "flip off" at that point in time 1979... =)

"The Warriors" where portraid like "proto-punk-hip-hop-hard-rock" looking gang members from NY/Coney Island... Not really what I would refer to as hippies, but similar with the long hair and all, a hybrid mix maybe?

Bopper

One who often fist fights, or is often willing to fist fight; a street fighter, often affiliated with a gang. Derived from the slang verb "bop", which means: to punch. Strictly defined in the 1979 movie "The Warriors".

I was not in New York at that time but it was where Punk and Hip-Hop kind of emerged from all the rubble and scum...

There is a pretty good documentarie from that time,
called "Rubble Kings":
