  • this video is a piece of shit. the person who produced it knows nothing about the beat movement. paul fucking simon folk rock lyrics for beat poetry. what an idiot

  • funny how people so seemingly against material goods/conforming to societal norms have nothing better to do than go on their computers and blog on the worlds most popular website.

  • read up on the hippie movement, summer of love, and flower power. you made beatniks seem like hippies.. but they were before the hippies. just tryin to help out

  • i appreciate the pointers. this was a high school project from a few years ago. my friend wrote the script and i just did the filming and narration, but i think you're right about the hippie/beatnik differences.

  • @bobbyb86 He's not saying he's a Beantic, just saying that this video is the worst video about Beatnics ever made.

  • I saw parts of a movie awhile back and am looking for the title. the details are sketchy. They guy was looking for a painting or something. He went to california I think and met a girl. She takes him to a beatnik party and they are getting naked in a big vat of grapes. He is kinda conservative so he is nervous and they throw him in. Anyone know what I am talking about?

  • mellow out its just something to do.

  • What model calculator was used to record this piece of shit?

  • This is a friggin' joke, right? A-hole gen z jackoffs don't have a clue.

  • Ok. Is this like a joke? Like satire on what the average person of today think what the beatnik was all about? If so then, yeah, I'll buy it.

  • Protest politics, the anti war movement, environmentalism, modern music, hippie, and drug cultures were influenced by the Beat generation. They weren't connected to nature - they were more political. They Beats were a big deal. Take them seriously, will you?

  • The beat movement is the shittiest american social movement in history. Its not the fact that they were non-conformist either. It is the fact that they didn't have a reason to be non-conformist. They were rebels without a cause. They were all conformist to the counter-culture. No purpose. CAUSE TOMMOROW IS A DRAAAAAAAAAAAG MAN!

  • Oh hey dude, I think you mixed up beats with hippies. Beats don't really care for nature, they'd burn in the sun. Also, they are less love filled, more judgmental towards others.

  • @bobbyb86 Yeah, well that's irony for you. BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
