Who is your beat poet? I've always identified with Kerouac "On the Road" defined alot of my transition to adulthood
also is there any comparable "brat pack" comparable to the beats in the modern day?
Beat Generation
Thomas Campbell
Aaron Foster
Is there an actual good example of beat generation....?
Tried reading on the road. It's one of the blandest, most pointless, boringest piece of shits my eyes has ever shit all over.
Like....extremely boring plot, semi-dead characters. But...I kind of figured the saving grace is it might be told in an interesting voice or beat generation language or something, but now. He throws in a, "You dig?" like every 6 pages, but seeing how the rest of the prose is so bland and boring, it seems out of place and forced.

There's DFW and his New Sincerity pals. And Bret Easton Ellis was part of some literary brat pack. I forget what it's called but it's on his Wikipedia page if you're that interested.
Jason Russell
on the road is a great book imo, but i understand that you are of an ascended level of intelligence so nothing can ever just be "not to my taste" it has to be "the bmost pointless" and the "blandest thing I've ever read. maybe read howl, since it isn't as well known and there's less of a chance your 14 year old hipster brain will shit on it
Nicholas Powell
Would Burroughs have been a better writer if he wasn't on acid 24/7 or did the drugs help him?
Juan Gonzalez
