Word coined by clever headline playing of off Spudnick, "Beatnicks Invade California." Described the westward generalication of a 1950's literary, [intellectual] and [philosophical] movement that produced such great artists and poets as Allen Ginsberg (Howl), Jack Kerouac (On The Road), [William S. Burroughs] (Naked Lunch)and Joan Vollmer. Though it can be argued that the movement started in New York and centered on the secert hero of Road and Howl; Neal Cassady, the beats also had a reniassance in San Fransisco. This movement included poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti (Coney Island of the Mind), founder of the now famous City Lights Bookstore. Beats encouraged free-thought, self discovery, and were linked to all kinds of drugs and debuachery.
