Let's first look at Baidu's definition of the Lost Generation and the Beat Generation
in the United States : The Beat Generation: The literary genre that became popular in the United States after World War II. The writers of this genre are all young men and women with rough and unrestrained personalities. They live a simple and unscrupulous life. They like to wear fancy clothes. All secular stereotypes and monopoly capital rule, resist foreign aggression and racial segregation, hate machine civilization, they always seek new stimulation, seek absolute freedom, indulge in lust, drug addiction, and indulge in order to challenge the decent traditional value standards, so they are called Be the beat generation. Representative writers include Ginsberg and his work "Howl".

The Lost Generation, also known as the Lost Generation.
A type of Western modernist literature.
A literary genre that emerged in the United States after the First World War.
In the early 1920s, Ger Stein, an American writer living in Paris, said to Hemingway: "You are all a lost generation." Hemingway took this sentence as the inscription of his first novel "The Sun Also Rises", "The Lost Generation. "The Generation" has since become the title of this group of writers who have no program or organization but have the same creative tendencies.
Writers belonging to this genre include Hemingway, Faulkner, Passos (1896-1970) and Cummings (1894-1962). All kinds of suffering, deeply deceived by the slogans of "democracy", "glory" and "sacrifice", and greatly disappointed with the society and life, so through writing novels to describe the cruelty of war to them, showing a feeling of confusion, hesitation and disappointment .


Well, I believe that too many people compare these two generations with the so-called post-80s generation in China. As a post-80s generation with a big edge, I really don’t know much about the post-90s generation, and I have no right to make any comments. It's just that I heard about the post-90s generation and immediately think of keywords such as brain-damaged non-mainstream audition groups. These are all stereotypes. Since I can have a stereotype of the post-90s generation, other people will be the same to the post-80s generation. There are stereotypes.

Fortunately, the post-80s generation did not experience the hardships of war, and the natural disasters and disasters in the past ten years. We did not catch up with the sound of spring thunder. When we came to the world, we caught up with the great era of the early reform and opening up. Ordinarily it should be A group of people who are very happy and healthy, but now the post-80s have entered the society and their predecessors have begun to sigh. Today's children are very irresponsible and irresponsible. But who wants to be confused, who wants to be said to be broken, is it our fault for lack of faith?
I can't know the entire contemporary history of China like my grandfather, I can't eat without scolding Deng Xiaoping all day like my Chinese language teacher in college, and I can't even fight with a pen like the pioneer Pen Cruxun. , because will and shoes.
I have never experienced hard times, but I have been taught since I was a child that my happy life today is not easy to come by, and it was earned by the revolutionary martyrs who poured their heads and blood. But the older you get, the more you realize that nothing is the same. It's useless for you to study hard, it's better that you have a good father. I don't know what the purpose of going to college is other than getting a job. After graduating from college, I don't know what I can do or what I want to do. When I was a child, I thought of the teacher, and I felt so arrogant. Now I see the child trying to strangle to death, and I feel that I can't have a child if I want anything.
You think what I'm saying is messy, don't you? That's right, because I'm lost and broken. I kept hoping and kept disappointed. The profession I despised the most was civil servants. I sometimes think that the hot-blooded young people are the SBs, and then I summed it up. If there is a real fight, it is estimated that the SBs will rush to the forefront to defend the high-ranking middle class of Everbright.
I said a lot in a mess, and I don't know what I want to do.
I may be young, I may desire on the road, that I am sending my own life, remember that it's six words:
a young man: Do not be afraid
when the old: Do not regret

  • Mr. Robinson: Do you ummm... do you want to tell me *why* you did it

    Benjamin: Mr. Robinson!

    Mr. Robinson: Do you have a special grudge against me? Do you feel a particularly strong resentment? Is there something I've said that's caused this contempt, or is it just things I stand for that you despise?

  • Benjamin: Listen to me. What happened between Mrs. Robinson and me was nothing. It didn't mean anything. We might just as well have been shaking hands.

    Mr. Robinson: Shaking hands? Well, that's not saying much for my wife, is it?
