Fast forward 49 yrs............. The town opens wide it's arms and casts open it's doors in order to prostitute every avaliable square foot of useable drinking space to thousands of middle class 16 year olds and retarded stag parties who are free to roam, puking, rutting and fighting wherever they please. Just goes to show the councillors are always the same, anything at all to keep the pennies rolling in. Great vid. nice to see Newquay before the neon lights and 'surfpods' ruined the clifftops.

@maggio888 I would disagree. If this is filmed in 1960 Bob Dylan was not even known in 1960, he was a college freshman in Minnesota. He traveled to New York City in 1961 it is only after 1961 that he began t make a name for himself... so these kids predate BD's Fame altogether! Give the Lad a break... he's making music!

This definitely isnt from 1960. I would say this is from 1964 or 65.

Kerouac explained that Beat was short for Beatific. Looking at Neal (Dean Moriarty), he saw him as beatific while others saw him as mad. Instead, he was receiving revelation from, and acting as a conduit of, the divine: beatified like a living saint, he was "beat." He "got it." He was mad.

there's no possible way this was 1960.

@maggio888 -- how on earth could this be a ripoff of Dylan when he wasn't even KNOWN YET in 1960 ?

1960. Their children are disastified with their parents' set up. Ha ha ha...

Was this REALLY 1960? That's got to be the oldest mullet in modern history (discounting the 18th century). The overuse of the dated term "beatnik", along with the very long hair, make this look like a put-on.

Yes this was 1960 and they were known as beatniks. The name shortened to 'beats' from about 1964.

incredible bit of footage... Some very posh ones too... could've gotten their daddies to buy out half the town but it would've blown their cred. Amazing to see what they looked like- Who called them 'hippies'... this is way before that period... this was 1960. To have long hair then was completely alien- Those guys were slightly super hip, but pre-hippy... but it's true they were also very annoying and nerdy.

It is a rarity. Never seen much film of beatniks! Beatniks became hipsters in the 60s in San Francisco and the name got changed to hippies. A lot were middle or upper class too. Hence the 'posh' you noticed! Long hair in 1960 was very extreme and outrageous. They might look nerdy now but in those days they were super-cool!
