The "Beat Generation" (decadent generation) is a group of writers who appeared in the 195s in the United States.
the "Beat Generation" is an important literary school in the mid-2th century in the United States, and it is also the most peculiar literary school in the history of western literature. For many ordinary readers, the attraction of the "Beat Generation" seems to come more from their maverick lifestyle than from their literary works.
In 1948, when the Beats were still underground, Kerouac gave Holmes the definition of the Beat Generation: "We are like a group of people living underground. You know, our hearts tell us that the' public' life is posturing and useless.
We live a' broken' lifestyle-I mean, face life and face ourselves, because we all know where we are. At the same time, we are tired of all forms and social norms in this world ... I think you might say that we are a' beat' generation. "
