On A Clockwork Orange

Here's an interesting thing on the novel. Now, I read somewhere that the characters in A Clockwork Orange were supposed to be a satire on British youth popular culture, and what everyone thought being "cool" was - the slang, the manner of dress, the behaviour. It was what these young people were, if they were amped up to the Nth degree.

Now, there's a lot of teenagers dressing up like them for Halloween. I think that these young men think that Alex and his boys are cool.

I wonder if these were the same children who dressed up as clowns for Halloween when they were younger.
