In William S. Burroughs' novel "Naked Lunch," a vivid portrayal of rebellious youth is depicted as they energetically take to the streets across various countries. These "Rock and Roll adolescent hoodlums" symbolize a cultural upheaval, challenging established norms through their chaotic actions.

Their audacity culminates in a dramatic act where they invade the prestigious Louvre museum and attack the renowned painting, the Mona Lisa, by throwing acid on it. This act represents a defiance against traditional art and culture, highlighting the tension between youth rebellion and societal values.
