> Generally it's such a shame that society is made to ridicule anyone who is wearing or behaving in a way that is out of fashion.

These subcultures would probably have much less interest and much higher turnover rates if they weren't considered different and ridiculed for it.

That's part of the appeal. The pressure applied from the outside makes the members of the "we-dress-this-way" club feel closer to each other.

To some extent though can you blame people for this form of cultural trolling? Some people will get violent with anger over what someone is wearing. Having the power to expose such a ridiculous reaction is probably very satisfying.
