Summary/Abstract: By stating that counterculture includes tradition we understand that the beat generation is not disconnected from the message exposed by the American transcedentalist writers of the 19-th century. So tradition is present in a subtle form even in the movements that challenge the literary and artistic establishment. Counter culture is different from subculture- thus it is normal that it includes a tradition that was thwarted by the cultural mainstream.
