Not certain, but my money is on Jack Kerouac.Jack Kerouac was definitly essential in the whole beat generation. His 1st book, On the Road. A review appeared in the New York Times Weeks later proclaiming Kerouac as the voice of a new generation. The term "Beat Generation" was invented by Kerouac during a conversation held with fellow novelist Herbert Huncke. "Beat" to describe someone living with no money and few prospects. "Beat to my socks," he said. Huncke coined the phrase "Beat" in a conversation with Jack Kerouac, who was interested in how their generation would be remembered. "I'm beat," was Huncke's reply, meaning tired and beat to his socks. Kerouac used the term to describe an entire generation.

Kerouac responded by dismissing Podhoretz's criticism as a misunderstanding of Beat philosophy and lifestyle. He argued that the Beat Generation's rejection of mainstream values was a conscious choice to live authentically and explore alternative forms of expression. Kerouac believed that Podhoretz's critique missed the underlying messages of creativity and rebellion that the Beat Generation sought to convey.
