I think the class warfare aspect of this stuff isn't discussed enough. People also want to differentiate themselves from other classes in some way. These days everyone has money and owns the latest iPhone and can afford nice clothes, so it is a lot harder than it used to be. This is why the concept of "upper class ideas" has surfaced. It is important that these ideas be strange enough that someone from the working class would never except them.
