>Being of low status, avoiding markers of low status is extremely important.

It doesn't seem that many see it as important. I see lots of loud attention seeking behaviour, vulgar displays of material goods etc.

This is them displaying high status among their peer group.

YOU see it as a low status marker because you're higher than them. Being able to look down on people is a sure sign of being higher relative status. It's one reason why we humans heartily enjoy it so much.
