That's an interesting perspective which I had not considered before. There are certainly plenty of people out there desperate to sit in opposition to mainstream culture, not merely to be arbitrarily contrarian, but because they enjoy the feeling of being hated. The fire-hose of scorn and derision maintained by such rote denouncements might attract them to the idea like moths to a flame.
