"Beatnik," on the other hand, was a term coined by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen in April 1958. It was a play on "Sputnik," Earth's first artificial satellite which had gone up in October 1957. Caen used the term to refer to "over 250 bearded cats and kits" "slopping up" free booze at a party sponsored by Look magazine. Like the more popular Life magazine, Look was obsessed with photographic spreads of beatniks.
