beatniks
Beatniks were a countercultural group that emerged in the United States during the mid-1950s. They were centered around a lifestyle of non-conformity, free thinking, and radical artistic and literary expression, to criticize and reject traditional society and mainstream American values, often prioritizing self expression over material wealth. The movement is associated with the Beat Generation, a group of authors whose literature explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-war era. Beatniks were characterized by their bohemian lifestyle, unconventional clothing, interest in jazz music and alternative art, and their use of drugs for consciousness exploration.
