That's why I think it very much worth looking into these kinds of pop cultural phenomenon, though I'd leave the moralizing as a final, not a first step. First is to figure out what's happening in the larger culture/economy to explain this change in identity formation.
The answer, however, will not likely be "guns/video games/comics cause X behavior" since addictive behavior towards these objects is for those involved (and as you have framed it) the solution to some other, larger problem.
I have no problem with that argument whatsoever.
Also agree about tattoos. When I was a kid, they were things that old ex-military dudes had (like my dad and grandpa). Now they're just random pictures on whoever pays for them.
