Beatnik
In 1948, Kerouac introduced the phrase "Beat Generation", generalizing from his social circle to characterize the underground, anticonformist youth gathering in New York at that time. The name came up in conversation with John Clellon Holmes, who published an early Beat Generation novel titled "Go" (1952), along with the manifesto "This Is the Beat Generation" in "The New York Times Magazine". In 1954, Nolan Miller published his third novel "Why I Am So Beat" (Putnam), detailing the weekend parties of four students.
Beat Party!
Due to the similar reference points, 1960s beat music and emphasis on fashion from the same era, Beat Parties have drawn comparisons to the Mod Revival which took place in the late 1970s and early 1980s throughout the United Kingdom. However unlike the Mod Revival which had The Jam and lead singer and Mod Paul Weller as its focal point, the Beat Party! culture is instead primarily influenced by its participants who all hold a dewy eyed love for the 1960s.
