About Me

20dissidents: Journal of the Neo-Beat Renaissance

Where is the distinct voice of a generation burned by our fragile new tomorrow? The once grown distant scent of nuclear annihilation blooms once again as the voice of a generation that prides itself on disinterest wallows meekly, barely whispering. Why? Are we tired? Disenchanted? Seduced and sedated by the sinister wail of 24 hour entertainment? Perhaps it just feels as though no one truly speaks for us...

Now is the time to stand up and be heard - to illuminate the common humanity in all of us - to be more than a name and a number. It is time to take your place beside your fellow brothers and sisters, never content to be faceless cannon fodder or a smart bomb target. Be the face of a generation who will be remembered as that which refused to go complacently along with the trend of anonymity, uniformity, and quiet death.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

20dissidents.com accepts submissions from all types of artists - anyone willing to shut off the television and make a mark on a world all too willing to leave its own scars on you. Somewhere out there is a new Ginsberg, Dylan, Kerouac, Warhol, Lennon, Cobain, Vonnegut.

Speak.

Send your artistic submissions to [email protected] .

"Don't wait to be discovered. Discover yourself. Publish your own work and circulate your work." -Allen Ginsberg
