I’ll address the polarization in this manner:
The attack on traditional values has borne people who go with it and those who react against it. Those who go with it have given up the complicated search for meaning in favor of instant gratification or they swing against it, thinking doing so is some sort of revolutionary act (remember, many my age view lgbt as a civil rights issue). Those people are attempting to capture thestruggle which has been missing, aping the hippie movement. Those for trad values aim to do so without the apathy of their forbears which they feel made the issue happen in the first place.
Those of us who save money do so to weather the storms ahead, and those who don’t are ok with living in apartments and all that. With drugs, those who do them do so to escape our defeatist mindset and to transcend the programming we feel has been done to us. Those who don’t view drugs as a social ill and often have witnessed their effects on their family and friends, and for the latter reason.
We mostly group together (after we leave high school especially) to have a network of people to offset the isolation we feel by ourselves with our technology
