Abstract
This paper analyzes and presents a survey of American mainstream culture of the 1950s, the Beat Generation, and the counterculture of the 1960s. Both the 1950s Beat movement and the hippie movement of the 1960s were a reaction to the affluent and materialistic capitalist society of the 1950s and 1960s. They emphasized uniqueness and beauty of the individual, and attacked the dehumanizing effects of materialism and industrialism. These movements were critical of the mainstream culture and its ideology, and attempted to overthrow mainstream society by promoting the values of love, peace, humanity, and respect for the individual and society. The main ideas of the Beat movement and the 1960s counterculture, whose influence is discernible even today, will be discussed from a socio-historical perspective and through an in-depth analysis of Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl” (1956).
