Beatniks were so cool. They were before Hippies and drugs. Mostly coffee, wine, dark clothing, slacking and non materialistic. Very cool! We need more Beatniks today.

You are so wrong about the drugs! My mom used to tell us about the drug use IN THE 50'S. I MEAN, WE WERE IN THE 50'S WHEN SHE TOLD US.

Uh-huh. But it doesn't work that way. Beatnik is one day you recognize yourself and you think "Hey, yeah, I'm a beatnik. I got this. I understand this. This is who I am." You recognize yourself as being overlaid with a thick pastiche of irony and a deep understanding of existentialism. You understand choice. You understand that you did not choose to be who you are but you are who you are because that is who you are. What follows is nothing but choice. Choice after choice after choice after choice. It's a life sentence with no parole. The understanding that outside of who are you there is nothing else but choice. Don't confuse beatnik with beat. The beats were not beatniks. Beatnik is Maynard G Krebs and Mad Magazine. Beatnik is an explosion of irony. They won't understand you because they can't understand you because they aren't beatniks. Not even the beats would understand you. They would mock you under the pretense that you are pretending to be them. Which you are not. You are not pretending anything. You are stuck with who you are. You are a beatnik. For anyone else it would be hell on earth but for you it is who you are. Irony. All is irony. And most people don't (and can't) do irony but for you it's who are you. Because you are beatnik. Welcome to the choiceful prison of your earthly life from which there is no escape. So dig it. Man. Dig it.
