Challenge: Beatniks vs. Hippies

There have been many fights between rival subcultures such as mods vs. rockers, and Mexican emos vs. metal heads. So how could there be a situation where the pacifist, drugged-out beatniks get into a fight with hippies?
 
The beatniks were the ancestors of the hippies. Not sure it's possible.

They were ancestors of the hippies, and apart of the Hippies once the Hippies burst onto the seen. The Beatniks (along with bohemians) essentially just evolved into the Hippies. And then more people became Hippies once it got popular.

Jack Kerouac though in the 60s tried to distance himself from the hippies by fashioning himself a conservative.
 
I'm sure they were contemporaneous at some point before beatniks all disappeared or turned into hippies. Part of the challenge is to make them both exist at the same time in enough numbers to compete with each other.

My first thought was of Jack Kerouac. He could whup the asses of ten times his weight in hippies. Fucking grab a copy of Big Sur and send 'em home with fucking concussions.
