The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The bulk of their work was published and popularized by members of the Silent Generation in the 1950s, better known as Beatniks.
- The central elements of Beat culture are the rejection of standard narrative values, making a spiritual quest, the exploration of American and Eastern religions, the rejection of economic materialism, explicit portrayals of the human condition, experimentation with psychedelic drugs, and sexual liberation and exploration.
- Allen Ginsberg's Howl, William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch, and Jack Kerouac's On the Road are among the best-known examples of Beat literature.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Beat Generation article was read about 350,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
