I believe the Beat folks preceded the Hip folks. I believe the function of this type of social movement is to fold into the mainstream people who have social capital and who are excluded, for example people of color and gays. The arts function as the medium of introduction.

I think the Beat Generation were offshoots of the original 1940's hipsters. The creative class is usually a decade ahead of mainstream.
