Does anyone have any thoughts on Huxley's attraction, if any, for youth? In what ways could he be considered a youth rebel?

Post Victorian youth liked him for his heretical, modern thinking--also later counterculture had him briefly as an elder statesemen. He tended, in his writing, to parody the fatuousness of aesthetic youth. Studying to be a psychologist, I liked his description of the youthful mind, found it very perceptive. See descriptions of Denis Stone, Sebastian Barnack, Gumbrill, his various other protagonists.
