I don't really see what the fuss is, it's not like this hasn't been going on before now - just with a different name...grunge, alternative, new wave what-have-you. There is always a contingent of youth who find solace in being "different" (which usually requires looking the same as their peers), who look to a past they didn't live through, who think their artistic mode of expression hasn't been done a thousand times before and better. Some of these kids grow up and retain their pretentiousness, but most of them grow out of it when they realize fashion takes a backseat to real life.

And really, while it may be annoying that they don't realize they are in no way shape or form original, I don't think anything is wrong with it.
