i like the lack of restraint, especially when read against the literary landscape of the time or whatever, the lack of restraint in putting things down in writing
i feel you on this, and i disagree with Alfred's all these guys spoiled two generations of kids into thinking revision, meter, and rhymes were restrictions, man. because yeah, there's a lot of beat stuff i don't want to read (again) but i'm glad that that style is an option, that there's a corrective to mannered, "tasteful", writing-class prissiness which has its own virtues too but shd never ever be the only game in town

feel like the 'two generations of kids' bit is giving them too much credit tbh

not strictly a beat, but does anybody read terry southern any more?
i read 'candy' and 'the magic christian' a few years ago and loved them both. feels like a type of humor that's all but disappeared -- both of them read a little like lenny bruce-style put-ons stretched out to novel length.
