Beatnik - what is it?
Basically the original, almost forgotten incarnation of the modern day hipster.
People think that hipsters are a new thing, but in reality have been around for years, the only difference is that a modern hipster mixes the beatnik style with indie, scene or emo.
They were a subculture of (mostly wealthy) young people in the 1950's that drank coffee, enjoyed art and music, wrote poetry, did psychedelic drugs, and smoked cigarettes. Practiced minimalism, and were very, very political. Men wore berets with striped shirts and sandals, and the women wore berets, little black dresses and scarves.
Would say slang things like "That's beat" and "daddy-O".
The dirty beatnik played bongo drums while reciting his own poetry at the poetry bar.
What does "beatnik" mean?
A beatnik is an idiot.
Someone who thinks (or thought) it was the cool thing to drink coffee and recite poetry in between impatiently waiting for some other beatnik to finish reading his own shit poems and give the cue for your turn.
As Bukowski said of them at a party - 'I disliked them all immediately, sitting around acting clever and superior. They nullified each other.'
Idiot: Dude, that chick who hangs out at the coffee house and the gallery all day is sooo cool. She's like a total beatnik.
Other: No, she's an idiot.
