  Writers

Explanation:  The Beat Generation was a movement that gathered writers during the 1950's. This literary movement was launched by a group of authors, writers, who explored American culture and politics in the post-war era. Their work was very popular during the 50's and then their works were massively published. The characteristic elements of the Beat Culture were the rejection of the traditional way of writing, a spiritual search that meant the research of some of the Eastern religions, which were later implicated in pop culture, the rejection of materialism, the liberation from traditionalism, explicitism in culture, etc.
