Your description would cover most types of performance poetry. It started out in the 1950s with Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti and the beats - but it got even better in the 1960s with John James, Chris Torrance, Allen Fisher and Lee Harwood.
And then you should hear some of the black poets:- Benjamin Zepahniah or Linton Kwesi Johnson or John Cooper Clarke (he isn't black - but he is so punk).

Beat or confessional. It was made popular in the 50's and 60's even earlier on some counts.
Bob Dylan came from that era... He often played those clubs & coffee houses..
Anne Sexton
Robert Lowell
Sylvia Plath

Yes, it is called the "I am a stupid liberal moron who cannot think for myself so I have to listen to some really stupid, inane prose that some other moron calls poetry, and I have to pay a high price to do it because after all, it is is the other guys job to save the whales, I need my pseudo-intellectual mental masturbation exercises this week" coffee bar and bean curd cafe.

Beat poetry was the original template for this.
It was popular in the fifties and sixties... and then kind of fused with the rap thing and became popular in the nineties.
