There was a stretch of about 10 years either side of 1960 in which the term, and perhaps even the hipster, flourished. Having at least heard the term the first time around, and having encountered it in such writings as Mailer's Advertisements for Myself and one of Styron's novels, I was surprised to see it reappear.

Perhaps in your 50s you will be surprised to find some term from your younger days reappear after long disuse--yuppie? slacker? brogrammer?
