The Beat Generation

Only in the 1950s, this era was regarded as a compliance era. Around this time, most Americans lived in the suburbs, known as Levittowns, felt threatened by communism, driven by explicit sanctions. Men are wearing gray or blue flannel suit to work, but women cook at home, keep them clean, doing housework to look after their children. For Americans at that time, having dinner with family and watching TV every evening was considered a conservative tradition.

The destroyed generation was censored and given many stereotypes. Several magazines including "Life and Playboy" explain the members of beat generation as irresponsible and ignorant figures. This criticism was mainly due to the difference in ideology between American culture and beat generation, including their Buddhist beliefs. Norman Podhoretz was a Colombian student Kairuyake and Ginsberg student, later became a critic of Beats. His 1958 party commentary article "The Bohemian" is a heavy criticism against Kruyak's "Roadside" and "Underground" and Ginsberg's "Howling". His core criticism is that the embrace of voluntary destruction is closely related to "primitive" anti-knowledge worship, which can easily change into ignorance and violence. Podhoretz argues that there is a connection between Beats and criminals

It was Keroroac that created the word "destroyed generation". Its purpose is to explain how they feel losses, failures, and loss of control among returned soldiers and merchants. Beat is also an attitude, culture, and literary style. Of course, many beats come from the middle class and the middle class to famous universities. For example, Ginsberg and Kerouac met at the Columbia University in New York. But they chose to resist social norms. They gathered in the west of San Francisco and discovered that the city supports an opposed culture more than anywhere on the east coast. In San Francisco, Ferlinghetti runs the City Lights Bookstore (this is still a suitable place to watch). And we support the publication of many writers. In this community that likes this, the beat poet can prosper
