Beatniks was a sub-cultural group of people in the 1950s and 60s. It attracted music lovers and members of the younger generation. They tended to hang out at clubs like Das Einsame Valkyrie in Hamburg, West Germany.
Inge Wagner, the owner of Das Einsame Valkyrie, "despised those smelly beatniks." She wanted to get rid of them, but they kept returning to listen to her singing.
