How to use "Beatnik" in context?
In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a subculture known as the "beatnik." Beatniks were young people who followed a subculture of dress and behavior that differed from mainstream America. Beatniks embraced a sense of individuality and rejection of materialism. They listened to jazz and improvised poetry, and often lived in communes or ditched conventional jobs to study Eastern philosophy. While the subculture has since faded, the influence of the beatnik culture can still be seen in contemporary trends and fashion.
