The "angry young men" were a group of mostly working- and middle-class British playwrights and novelists who became prominent in the 1950s. The group's leading figures included John Osborne and Kingsley Amis; other popular figures included John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, and John Wain. The phrase was originally coined by the Royal Court Theatre's press officer in order to promote Osborne's 1956 play Look Back in Anger. It is thought[by whom?] to be derived from the autobiography of Leslie Paul, founder of the Woodcraft Folk, whose Angry Young Man was published in 1951.[a]
In Britain, following the Second World War, the quality of life for lower-class citizens was still poor;[6] Osborne used this theme to demonstrate how the state of Britain was guilty of neglect towards those that needed assistance the most. In the play there are comparisons of educated people with savages, illuminating the major difference between classes. Alison remarks on this issue while she, Jimmy and Cliff are sharing an apartment, stating how "she felt she had been placed into a jungle". Jimmy was represented as an embodiment of the young, rebellious post-war generation that questioned the state and its actions. Look Back in Anger provided some of its audience with the hope that Osborne's work would revitalise the British theatre and enable it to act as a "harbinger of the New Left".[5]
Not all members of the movement were angry, young, or male, but all disliked the title "Angry Young Men". Life in 1958 wrote that "the most common prevailing attitude among them is of wry irritation", and named Osborne, Kingsley Amis, John Wain, and John Braine as the best-known. As a catchphrase, the term was applied to a large, incoherently defined group, and was rejected by most of the writers to whom it was applied:[6] see, for example, "Answer to a Letter from Joe" by Wain (Essays on Literature and Ideas, 1963). Publisher Tom Maschler, who edited a collection of political-literary essays by the 'Angries' (Declaration, 1957), commented: "(T)hey do not belong to a united movement. Far from it; they attack one another directly or indirectly in these pages. Some were even reluctant to appear between the same covers with others whose views they violently oppose".[7]
Friendships, rivalries, and acknowledgments of common literary aims within each of these groups could be intense (the relationship between Amis and Larkin is considered one of the great literary friendships of the 20th century). However, the writers in each group tended to view the other groups with bewilderment and incomprehension. Observers and critics could find no common thread between them all. They were contemporaries by age. They were not of the upper-class establishment, nor were they protégés of existing literary circles. It was essentially a male "movement", but Shelagh Delaney, author of A Taste of Honey (1958), was described as an "angry young woman";[11] other female members included Iris Murdoch and Doris Lessing.[6]
In the song "Where Are They Now" from the 1973 album Preservation Act 1 by The Kinks, the following lines appear: "Where have all the angry young men gone?/ Barstow and Osborne, Waterhouse and Sillitoe/ Where on earth did they all go?"

Like Irving Penn's photographs of dignified workers on view in the exhibition Irving Penn: Small Trades, a movement in the 1950s called the British New Wave gave the common person visibility. These films popularized the ideas of "angry young men," developed by British authors such as John Osborne whose works championed the lower classes and critiqued the wealthy. The films are gritty and beautiful as were their blazing new stars: Albert Finney, Richard Harris, Tom Courtenay, and Richard Burton.

(1963, 134 min., 35mm, not rated)
Directed by Lindsay Anderson
In a dramatic contrast to some of his later great roles (Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series, for instance!), here a young Richard Harris shines as a poor Yorkshire miner turned hopeful rugby star.
In this gritty and beautiful work, director Anderson created not only a fine essay on working-class angst, but also a film that looked new and different thanks to unusual editing, riveting cinematography, and a haunting score.
Alarmist images and stories describing enemy "Others" support the supposed divide between Islamic "fundamentalism", and the liberating force of the US and its allies -- a divide that is often referred to in current debates about "terrorism". One example is "youth bulge" theory, which refers to people aged 27 years old and under, the majority of whom live in the South. Developed by the CIA, the theory equates large percentages of young men in a population with an increased possibility of violence. It originally aimed to provide US intelligence analysts with a tool to predict and uncover potential national security threats.
Supporting the theory are two related images of angry young men of colour as potential terrorists and veiled young women as victims of repressive regimes who control future population growth rates. The implied dual threat -- of explosive violence and explosive fertility -- provides a racial- and gender-based rationale for continued US military intervention and US-promoted population control initiatives in other countries, particularly in the South. It also justifies government surveillance of Muslims and Arabs within US borders.
This briefing sets out a short history and critique of youth bulge theory in the context of the attack on New York's World Trade Center on 11 September 2001 and the subsequent growth of US militarism at home and abroad. It calls attention to how the theory reflects, and is reflected in, racial, gender and age discrimination, and suggests how it is being contested. It links the theory to negative images of young people promulgated in the US -- "superpredators" to describe young men of colour and "teenage welfare queens" to describe women of colour, particularly those with children -- and the punitive policy measures that aim to control them, as well as to patterns of global US military and economic aggression.
One example is so-called "youth bulge" theory, which refers to the large proportion of the world's population aged 27 years old and under, the majority of whom live in the South. In the eyes of many Western demographers, military analysts and intellectuals, this "youth bulge" -- now 50 per cent of the world's people -- has a double aspect. In countries that provide formal education and employment for large proportions of their young people, the youth bulge is a "demographic bonus". In the South, on the other hand, it often spells a "political hazard"5 and a threat to social and economic stability and security.
Developed in 1985 by geographer Gary Fuller during a stint as visiting scholar in the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA's) Office of Global Issues, formal "youth bulge" theory originally aimed to provide US intelligence analysts with a tool to predict unrest and uncover potential national security threats. It claims that a proportion of more than 20 per cent of young people in a population signals the possibility of political rebellion and unrest. It equates large percentages of young men with an increased possibility of violence, particularly in the South, where, analysts argue, governments may not have the capacity to support them.6
Bolstering the theory is a twinned set of images employed by US government and other Western intellectuals since well before the events of September 11, 2001 - images of angry young men of colour as potential terrorists and veiled young women as victims of repressive regimes who control future population growth rates. The implied dual threat - of both explosive violence and explosive fertility - provides an apparently seamless racially- and gender-based rationale for continued US military intervention and US-promoted population control initiatives in other countries, particularly in the South. It also justifies government surveillance of Muslims and Arabs within US borders, since it pictures young people of colour, wherever they may be, as a threat to security, the environment and democracy.
Media commentators have eagerly embraced all these images. In a special October 2001 report entitled "Why Do They Hate Us?" speculating on the reasons for the 9/11 attacks, Newsweek magazine published a picture of a five- or six-year-old Arab boy holding what appeared to be an automatic weapon, together with photos of young Arab men protesting and burning an effigy of President George W. Bush at an anti-US demonstration. The answer to the magazine's question, it claimed, was in part that:
"Arab societies are going through a massive youth bulge, with more than half of most countries' populations under the age of 25 ... A huge influx of restless young men in any country is bad news. When accompanied by even small economic and social change, it usually produces a new politics of protest."7
"Dangerous demographic trends typified by a massive youth 'bulge' - an extraordinarily high proportion of young people among the population - all but guarantee increased social instability that few regimes will be able to withstand."8
This briefing aims to help fill this gap by linking the theory to negative images of young people promulgated in the US and the punitive policy measures that aim to control them, as well as to patterns of global US military and economic aggression.
The "superpredator" theory equated a rise in the proportion of young men in a given population with a rise in the numbers of criminal young men. It institutionalised the view that there is violence in numbers - specifically numbers of young men of colour in the US. In the words of the Princeton professor who first thought it up, John DiIulio (who has since served as the first Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under George W. Bush), "more boys begets more bad boys."9 DeIulio's influential article, "The Coming of the Super-Predators," predicted that with the strength of numbers behind them, young male criminals, or "superpredators," would tend to commit ever more serious crimes. DiIulio saw young black and Latino men in the inner city as the instigators of this wave of super-crime, with criminal activity only later spreading among young white men in suburbs and rural areas.
