This is the Beatnik Horror (1960)

From 'The People' July 24 1960 a report on Beatniks in Liverpool, London and elsewhere, with some choice quotes and turns of phrase:

This is Beatnik Hell

Every week more and more young people joint the ghastly Beatnik army

this bizarre new cult imported from American is a dangerous menace to our young people

This is the Beatnik Horror

though they don't know it they are on the road to hell

They revel in filth

their unwashed horror

Most beatniks like dirt. They dress in filthy clothes

They don't care a damn for anyone or anything

They like to frolic in the gutter

Most are dope addicts

This is 18 year old Pat Davenport. Her "rave" is to hitch-hike round the country in search of "kicks". She goes about barefoot and takes snuff to shock

She is a part-time typist but a full time beat girl

In the middle of all the chaos was a magnificent home-built hi-fi record player, blaring the "cool" jazz without which no beatnik "pad" - their slang for home - is complete

"We don't believe in work - it's just for mugs - My only interests are girls and poetry"

Interesting that article defines rave as 'a sudden enthusiasm' rather than a party.
