beat generationn.

Etymology: Etymology disputed; the evidence suggests that it is < beat adj.¹ 1b, perhaps influenced by beat n.¹ 4, but the coiner of the expression, J. Kerouac (1922–69), connected beat with beatitude n. (see quot. 1958¹).

An expression applied at first to a group of young people, predominantly writers, artists, and their adherents, in San Francisco, later to similar groups elsewhere, adopting unconventional dress, manners, habits, etc., as a means of self-expression and social protest. Cf. beatnik n.

1952 J. C. Holmes in N.Y. Times 16 Nov. Mag. 10/2 It was the face of a Beat Generation... It was John Kerouac..who..several years ago..said ‘You know, this is really a beat generation’. The origins of the word beat are obscure, but the meaning is only too clear to most Americans. More than the feeling of weariness, it implies the feeling of having been used, of being raw. It involves a sort of nakedness of mind.

1955 ‘Jean-Louis’ [= J. Kerouac] in New World Writing 10 Jazz of the Beat Generation... Here we were dealing with the pit and prune juice of poor beat life itself and the pathos of people in the Godawful streets.

1958 J. C. Holmes in Esquire Feb. 35/2 ‘The Beat Generation,’ he [sc. J. Kerouac] said, ‘is basically a religious generation.’ And later, in another interview, Kerouac amplified ‘..Beat means beatitude, not beat up.’

1958 Sunday Times 25 May 6/4 ‘Where go? What do? What for?..’ That is the cry and philosophy of the beat generation, if a philosophy can be distilled from bewilderment, aimlessness and apathy.

1958 Observer 14 Sept. 4/5 The ‘beat generation’ is beginning to acquire the same kind of dubious place in American culture as the Young Angries in Britain.

1963 New Statesman 8 Feb. 202/3 The Beat Generation have come and gone, making a lot of noise but little real impact.
