- From 'Beat' To Beatnik.
- The discovery of the word 'beat' was essential to the formation of a sense of self definition among the earliest writers making up the cluster that would later call itself members of a 'Beat Generation'.
- The word 'beat' was primarily in use after World War II by jazz musicians and hustlers as a slang term meaning down and out, or poor and exhausted. Jazz musician Mezz Mezzrow combined it with other words like 'dead beat'or 'beat-up' in his book Really The Blues.
- In 1944, the word 'beat' as used by a Times Square hustler named Herbert Huncke came to the attention of writer William Burroughs. ...
- As Allen Ginsburg remembered first hearing the word 'beat', the original street usage meant "exhausted, at the bottom of the world, looking up or out, sleepless, wide-eyed, perceptive, rejected by society, on you own, streetwise".
- Jack Kerouac was fascinated by the tone of the word 'beat' as said by Huncke hunched over a cup of coffee in a Times Square cafeteria. ...
- In a June, 1959 Playboy article titled "The Origins of the Beat Generation", Kerouac explained that the linguistic root of the word 'beat' also carried connotations of beatitude or beatific. The term 'Beat Generation' was coined by Kerouac in a conversation with John Clellon Holmes who felt Kerouac's stories "seemed to be describing a new sort of stance toward reality, behind which a new sort of consciousness lay. ...
- So I guess you might say we're a 'Beat Generation'.
- When the term 'Beat Generation' began to be used as a label for the young people Kerouac called 'hipsters' or 'beatsters' in the late 1950s, the word 'beat' lost its specific references to a particular subculture and became a synonym for anyone living as a bohemian or acting rebelliously or appearing to advocate a revolution in manners.
- They're only Beat, y'know, when it comes to work. ...
- The article is based on an excellent anthology - The Portable Beat Reader by Anne Charters. Links to Beat Writer Books.

- "The entire Beat literary movement was based, to some extent, .
- Beat has a schizophrenic etymology. There are numerous manifestations of beat culture. ... A third figure in this unique friendship was William Burroughs, although he would always deny his position as a beat writer, frequently advocating insurrection and radical-literary deconstruction beyond the exegesis of the poetic vision, nevertheless his path and that of the beats would be entwined in friendship, love, and sex, throughout the rest of their lives. ...
- During the Parisian, Beat Hotel years others became affiliated with the beats, most notably the polymath Brion Gysin. Together these poets have retrospectively been imagined as forming the beat literary scene, although any socio-political collusion is coincidence. There was/is no single arche - no single truth - of beat literature. ...
- Part of the beat writers weltanschauung was the belief in exploring one's creativity across artistic mediums, thus, for example, Ginsberg took numerous photographs, whilst Kerouac and Burroughs both painted. This manifestation of beat culture fed into the wider period of artistic experimentation which explored similar areas to those of the beat writers. In this context the emergence of personal film in the '50s must be viewed as, at least in part, a constituent element of a wider beat culture. ... Beat was not purely literature, but part of a wider American artistic and cultural renaissance.
- A further, more populist and clichéd, manifestation of the beat is as a construction emerging from the paranoid media discourse of '50s Cold War America. The beatnik - a fusion of beat and nik, from the Russian launched Sputnik satellite, forever fusing beats and the Red Menace together in the popular imagination - wore sandals, shades, a beret, black roll-neck, dungarees, and a goatee, he spouted meaningless poetry, read Mao, smoked reefer, grooved to jazz, and spent his time dreaming of sex or playing bongos. ...

- "The Beat Generation" Site Map .
- The Beat Page is dedicated to the movement that began in the early 1950's with a small and tightly connected group of young writers who demonstrated a care-free, often wreckless and unquestionably fresh approach to literature as well as a demonstrative social stance toward what was sometimes referred to as "The Establishment". The term "Beat" was reportedly coined by Jack Kerouac in the late 1940's, but became more common at about the time that writers like himself, Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti were beginning to get noticed. It was quickly becoming a slang term in America after World War II, meaning "exhausted" or "beat down" and provided this generation with a definitive label for their personal and social positions and perspectives. ...
- " Although it's been more than forty years since the birth of the Beat Generation, the Beats' legacy of anti-authoritarian politics and insurgent thinking continues to be a strong influence in the store, most evident in the selection of titles. ...

- THE BEAT GENERATION.
- This is the Danish pathway to the Beat Generation that would seem to be having a renaissance - or perhaps a resurrection in the 1990s. ... And some of those members have repeatedly rejected the actual existence of any Beat Generation.
- The reason why the Beats, who are also known as the beatniks, The Beat Generation and the San Francisco Renaissance, are having such a renaissance, is in no small way down to the opportunities offered by the electronic media on the electronic road or "information superhighway" known as the worldwide web.
- Within just a couple of years scores of homepages on the 3 most well-known authors Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs og Jack Kerouac have appeared on the Internet, a couple of very interesting CD-ROMs : The Beat Experience og A Jack Kerouac ROMnibus have been released, and a number of Audio CDs, among which are The Beat Generation, Kicks Joy Darkness og Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales, are available. ...
