    Can the beat generation be reborn again into todays civilization?
    In times like these can a new type of beat generation a new type of beat writing be born into life.

    If so, how?
    If not, why not?

    Probably not. The Beats worked because American society at the time was uptight, very much into conforming, intolerant of and completely failing to understand those who deliberately chose to be different.

    Now things are much more free-wheeling in the US, with tolerance and diversity taught in the schools and the workplace.

    Japan’s ripe for a Beat Generation, though…
