Angry Young Men

Japanese: アングリー・ヤング・メン(英語表記)Angry Young Men
Angry Young Men
The term was derived from the play Look Back in Anger (1956) by the British playwright John Osborne, and refers to anti-establishment youth who are dissatisfied with the established order and refuse to accept traditional values. It is translated as "angry young men." In a narrow sense, it refers to authors of literary works published in the 1950s and 1960s that feature such characters, such as John Wayne in the novel Hurry Up and Down (1953) and Kingsley Amis in the novel Lucky Jim (1954).
