[afterthefact]

I completly agree, and I don't think it's only fashion that is involved. A kid I know got mad at me because I dared to speak against the movie Twilight. I mean, he was mad. I told him that you can tell a lot about the role something like that plays in their life - be it music, movies, whatever - by the way they defend it. If he were to say, "You don't know what you are talking about. You never saw it; that movie was great, and here's why: (insert reasonable points)," then that simply means that he lifes that sort of thing, and therefore enjoyed the movie. But by pushing me out the door and saying "You spoke against Twilight!" (and, by the way, he did actually say that; I'm not exaggerating), then he has taken it to a whole new level to where now his style of living is dependant on these sorts of movies.
