the Beat Generation
a group of young people in the 1950s and early 1960s, especially writers and artists, who rejected the social values of their time. They tried to find a different style of living, becoming interested in eastern religions and new forms of writing. The movement began in the US and included such writers as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.
