Editing Beatnik (section)

===Music and fashion===
However, the soundtrack of the beat movement was the modern jazz pioneered by saxophonist [[Charlie Parker]] and trumpeter [[Dizzy Gillespie]], which the media dubbed [[bebop]].  Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg spent much of their time in New York jazz clubs such as the [[Royal Roost]], [[Minton's Playhouse]], [[Birdland (jazz club)|Birdland]] and the Open Door, "shooting the breeze" and "digging the music". Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and [[Miles Davis]] rapidly became what Ginsberg dubbed "secret heroes" to this group of aesthetes. The Beat authors borrowed much from the jazz/[[Hipster (1940s subculture)|hipster]] slang of the 1940s, peppering their works with words such as "square", "cats", "cool" and "dig".

At the time the term "beatnik" was coined, a trend existed among young college students to adopt the stereotype. Men emulated the trademark look of bebop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie by wearing [[goatee]]s, [[horn-rimmed glasses]] and [[beret]]s, rolling their own cigarettes, and playing [[Bongo drum|bongos]]. Fashions for women included black [[leotard]]s and long, straight, unadorned hair, in a rebellion against the middle-class culture of beauty salons. Marijuana use was associated with the subculture, and during the 1950s, [[Aldous Huxley]]'s ''[[The Doors of Perception]]'' further influenced views on drugs.

By 1960, a small "beatnik" group in [[Newquay]], Cornwall, England (including a young [[Wizz Jones]]) had attracted the attention and abhorrence of their neighbours for growing their hair beyond shoulder length, resulting in a television interview with [[Alan Whicker]] on BBC television's ''[[Tonight (1957 TV series)|Tonight]]'' series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3WfXA9JL9w|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118103552/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3WfXA9JL9w|url-status=dead|title=Beatniks in Newquay, 1960|archive-date=November 18, 2015|via=www.youtube.com}}</ref>
