Beatniks were artists and writers who started a literature-based sociocultural movement in 1950s America. This Tumblr is all about them, their work, their inspirations, and those they inspired. I also include the evolution of faux beat culture into a 1950s pop trend as well as how the beatniks' influence continues today. I apologize for any reposts; it's difficult to remember what I have and have not shared.

Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg at Kerouac’s grave. It’s really cool to see videos and read articles that illustrate the communal nature of new york in the 60’s and 70’s. People really gelled. I think we’re too afraid to do that now.
