Both men started the movement because of their love for poetry and writing, and headed to San Francisco where the heart for up and coming writers and artists was located and converged to express themselves. The term “Beat” was created by Jack Kerouac, who reinterpreted the negative connotation of the word to “incorporate spirituality by describing those who did not adhere to the prevailing tide of materialism and personal ambition.” The Beat generation “were the first to come out and take a stand, protesting conformity” and did this by changing the way they dressed, the life style they pursued, and the slang language they used. The term “Hippies” or “Hipsters” were some of the alternative ways they referred to themselves, which confused the older conformist “square” generation who did not understand the meaning to some of their words. (Huddleston 5-7)
