"The Beat Generation" is a term coined by author Jack Kerouac in the 1950s to refer to a group of American writers and artists who were characterized by their anti-establishment attitudes, unconventional lifestyles, and experimental literary styles. While this term has since become synonymous with this specific group, there are several other terms that can be used to refer to this literary movement. Some of these include the 'Beatniks', the 'Cool school', and the 'Generation of '49'. All these terms highlight the same features and traits that linked these writers together and their contributions to counterculture literature and art.
