Question

What style of jazz music most influenced the Beat poets? A. doo-wop B. lyric

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Bebop

Explanation:

The Beat Generation was a literary movement that emerged in the middle of the 20th century (the 1950s) in which writers including novelist and poets write about the culture of this time and the social, political and economic situation after the end of the Second World War. Due to this, the Beat poets and writers wrote about the human condition, sexual exploration, and addictions. Additionally, the main influences included the situation of the post-war, the sexual liberation and the jazz, especially the "bebop" jazz which differs from other styles as the rhythm is unpredictable and experiment and because of this writers and poets tried to imitate the rhythm of this type of jazz in their literary works as they include experimental techniques and new themes. Considering the previous ideas, it can be concluded the style of jazz music that most influenced the Beat poets was the "Bebop".
