Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and other writers associated with the Beat Generation did indeed rebel against middle-class life and conventional literary expression. The Beat Generation emerged in the 1950s as a countercultural movement that rejected mainstream values and sought alternative forms of artistic expression. They criticized the conformity and materialism of the middle-class lifestyle prevalent in post-World War II America. The Beats emphasized personal freedom, spontaneity, and a rejection of societal norms. Their writing often explored themes of nonconformity, spirituality, and the search for meaning in a conformist society. Through their experimental and unconventional writing styles, they challenged traditional literary forms and pushed the boundaries of expression.
