From 1970. That seems strange to me, as the term beatnik was pretty much replaced by the term hippies by then. I mean, my parents were beatniks. I was a hippie. (via Weird Universe)

"Beatnik" was a derogatory term invented by squares to mock them and associate them with the imagined Communist threat. The Beats didn't call themselves that.
