What alternative to the life of middle-class suburban life does Ginsberg portray?

He portrays rebels, outsiders and, in a way, outcasts from those ideals that had been proposed and imposed upon everybody. Artists, poets, drug addicts, gays, prostitutes, homeless people, lunatics - all of them weren't losers, but victims of the cruel capitalism and hypocritical ethics of the thriving and self-confident middle-class. Middle-class suburban life was all decency; and Ginsberg challenges all of their ideals by portraying those who have lived in the gutter of society.
