Subculture Overview:
Embracing nonconformity, Beatnik culture emerged in the 1950s and 60s, characterized by bohemian attitudes, intellectual pursuits, and anti-establishment sentiments. Influenced by the Beat Generation writers, Beatniks rejected mainstream culture, favoring poetry, jazz music, and existentialist philosophy. Their style, epitomized by black turtlenecks, berets, and sunglasses, reflected a blend of European sophistication and American counterculture. Beatniks gathered in coffeehouses, engaging in intellectual discussions and poetry readings, fostering a sense of community amidst societal alienation. While the movement waned by the late 1960s, its influence on subsequent countercultural movements and fashion remains profound.
