critical views of American culture
Some writers of the 1920s, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, called themselves the Lost Generation because they felt disillusioned by the societal changes and devastation of World War I. They believed their generation had lost its traditional values, sense of direction, and faith in the established institutions.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was not a member of the Lost Generation. Though he was closely associated with writers of the period, such as Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, he was not considered a part of the Lost Generation in the same way.
The Lost Generation was a name for the young generation of Americans who were in Europe during the First World War and returned afterward as a way to rebel against mainstream America. This generation was skeptical of authority and writers often portrayed America as a nation that made them lose hope in modern society. These writers tended to adopt influences from European cultures instead.
