Yeah man, rock on! Don't be a conformist, rather, conform to the non-conformists. We're so different, lets go to Hot Topic at the mall.

Just because one isn't bound for Wall Street doesn't mean they're a loser. Plenty of people have no interest in that route, and get piercings, etc., knowing that the professions they are interested in are accepting of that sort of thing (most art-type professions, for instance). You can be extremely successful in careers such as photography, commercial illustration, advertising (depending on the firm), writing, and so on, with all kinds of body mods. Personally, I wouldn't get anything too extreme and visible done, because of the work I want to go into. And of course, I don't really like the idea of too much pain. But that's just me.
As for your last paragraph, completely agree
I don't think I know anyone over the age of 15 who shops at Hot Topic ...
