Angry Young Man:
A (literary) character type who appeared in the works of a group of young British writers during the mid-twentieth century. He expresses the bitterness of the lower classes toward the establishment, and is exemplified best in John Osborne's 1956 play "Look Back In Anger."

Argh! I'm in angry young man, and I'm not going to take it anymore! So you bloody well better stay out of my way.
hmm a few thoughts come to mind about this post.....but tell me more how you came across this one?
It's in a funny little book I have.
so it's supposed to be comical then right?
Well, the "angry young man" really is exactly what the definition says it is. The book then gives a comical example, but I didn't include it because it would be in poor taste since the person they used as an example has passed away since the publication of the book.
Here at Jive To The Monkey, we respect the dearly departed.
Ahh ok, just with the way things have been with me, after reading this lil posting, I was ready to make some serious comments. But I didn't want to overload if it waslight hearted and not serious.
Billy Joel was an angry young man
Now he's a rich old man.
Well, maybe not "old" old.
You crack me up.
