Beat movement
lit. a 1950s loose-knit group of American anti-establishment writers, sometimes known as the Beat Generation. They deliberately shocked middle-class Americans whom they called 'squares'. The group was influenced by jazz and Zen Buddhism. Notable writers include Kerouac who is credited with inventing the term 'beat'. The movement as such was short-lived, but influenced others.
