Well if it's an alternative trend, some of those people are doing it to impress other people who are following that trend. That sounds like quite the opposite of being anti-social to me. That's not to mention that if your group is different from everyone else, it's likely that you're in a closer-knit group because of that alienation. It could be the case that some people are anti-social who pick up on these things, but I'd say it leans more in the other direction.
