well. maybe that just goes to show that it's time for you to move on. because being disaffected and disenfranchised still exists, people of my generation and younger who truly feel that way probably just don't dress the way you described anymore to express it. and maybe you are no longer in touch so can't understand the difference.
besides, i think it's a bit sad to assume that people are expressed purely by how their dress. it's also sad to assume that those were your 'symbols'. everything is made shallow by fashion sooner or later. anyway, when you were a teenager, dressing was probably more important in terms of expressing what kind of person you are. it's important to us too, but in a different way. and it's sad, but my generation and the ones below are more likely just shallower, but that's the way we are, and you will have to accept it and understand that you are thirty three years old and the time in which you could assess those things with validity has passed, since it's unlikely that you understand them anymore or understand the subtle differences in the way fifteen year olds nowadays choose to express themselves.

i don't know, that's just my opinion.
