Those things actually bother me a lot too, and I'm not entirely sure why I'm able to look past them. I don't think "yes, these are the best ideas and I am very socially inspired by them", but I like the style in general and a lot of other ideas they present (like homosexuality, alternate views of "the Human Condition", etc).
I can definitely imagine a lot of Beat lovers in SF. Not so much here in Toronto (not that there aren't any, but I guess they're kind of passe for the English major douchebags at UofT - they also thought Sylvia Plath was overrated). Honestly, a lot of it I think has to do with the attitude here in Toronto. This city so desperately wants to be world-class and the next NYC, so people here roll their eyes at "the classics", etc and uggghhh how am I the hipster one in that situation? lol
I had another point but I totally lost it, sorry, haha.
