026 Beat Generation vs Beatniks: The Selling of a Movement

You know the image of a "Beatnik": beret-wearing, bongo-playing, poetry-snapping rebels. But that's not the whole story. In this video, watch as Philip Mershon pries apart the myth from the reality to explore the authentic Beat Generation and how it became the commercialized caricature we know today as the Beatnik. Learn about the true countercultural movement of the 1950s, the influential authors and artists like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, and how Madison Avenue turned a radical revolution into a consumable fad. We also explore other countercultural movements throughout history, from the Transcendentalists to the Hippies, that faced the same fate.
