I would think that by 22 you'd pretty much lose interest in that sort of rebellious, shock behavior.
At a certain point, earning a living and conforming to society's demands (on the outside) should become a necessity if one desires to have a certain standard of living, unless one can capitalize on one's nonconformity, such as an artist or entertainer.
This is why I stopped dressing the way I like to...
You see, dressing like that is not a spoiled brat statement. Yes, it was popular to dress like that to piss off your parents. Those people have since grown up and lost interest. However, for some people, this style of dress has nothing to do with shock, attention, rebellion, angst, or any of that shit. See, for some people, the guy or girl wearing all black, with huge boots and massive eyeliner is actually attractive. They actually feel pretty when they put black lipstick on- the same way your girlfriend feels pretty wearing a bikini and dying her hair blond. You and everyone else just have to accept that some people like things that just aren't typical.
Though my style is different than this, the sentiment is the same. I stopped trying to feel pretty because everyone downed me for it, and now I feel completely uncomfortable AND unpretty. Live and let live, or else don't be surprised when people are upset.
