I don't think it's only the people attracted into the industry but parts of the industry that attract these people. Ie the webshops that want to "Bring your whole self to work" (I think I heard that phrase from a podcast or something and believe it's quite fitting for some SV startups). It only invites unprofessional behaviour in my opinion/experience and makes your team less mixed/heterogen. In a good, professional team people should be able to work together even if they don't like each other, but apparently you can't have that in modern startups.

(Disclaimer; I'm one of the younger people, I just don't like to party or drink for no reason. I only drink to javascript code.)
