 Spoken Word Movement
The spoken word poetry movement of the 1990's was similar to the Beats in the 1960's, right down to the goatees, improvisational style, and coffeehouse vibe of the poets (leading to the nickname of "Wanna-Beats" for spoken word artists).
Spoken word shares with the Beats a mutual disdain with the academic community, an emphasis on performance, and many poems in confessional and stream-of-consciousness styles.
Spoken word has a rough-edged, populist attitude, is intent on spreading the word of all poetry, and carries a democratizing energy.".
