The school of social thought that emerged in the 21st century, advocating fanatical philosophies about specific lifestyles attempting to enforce them in the general populous, despite said ideology and actions either:
a) providing no evidence of being useful or positively life-altering,
b) proven to be completely erroneous,
c) demonstrating highly negative, detrimental, or dangerous effects, or
d) rejecting objective scientific or circumstantial evidence to their contrary
Beetniks first choose to follow this school either upon contemplating said philosophies individually or receiving information from an existing adherent. With reduced, or misguided propensity for comprehensive study and objective critical thinking, Beetniks not only latch onto the ideology, but actively pursue their publicity. This is mostly done through social media propaganda, with the sole purpose of forcing public opinion and activity to conform and eventually follow.
Examples of Beetnik sub-schools include but are not limited to:
- Anti-vax advocates
- Hipsters
- SJWs (modern derogatory definition)
- Karen Culture
- Flat-Earthers
- Vegans
Derived in etymology but not linked in definition to Beatnik culture, the term was coined after the emergence of television infomercials advertising the youth-maintaining qualities of a certain type of beet juice, purported to keep the user feeling "20 years younger." and books promoting celery juice as "the most powerful medicine of our time."

"My aunt sent me a link the other day about the link between vaccinations and autism. As much as she's smart and educated, she can be such a Beetnik sometimes!"

Get the Beetnik mug.Betaniks are hipster programmers always thinking of new programs to release in early beta. They're usually skinny and lanky with the appropriate hipster potbelly. They subsists on vegan food and PBRs. They're very smart, but still socially adept. Betaniks have a wide social network and go to lots of music shows in addition to writing tons of code. Betaniks speaks a lot at user groups, and know what they're talking about.
Betaniks are clever, persuasive, and innovative in their designs. They put together amazing PowerPoints, give compelling talks, use just the right sprinkling of buzzwords like "architectural cohesion" and "cyclomatic complexity."

That betanik can not only remember the internals in System.Web.UI.WebControls.Namespace, but he can organize a trip to Burning Man for three friends.
