Let's assume that the "coolness" factor does not account for all of the increase. Then you have to ask, what is causing this? Diet/Food? Pharmaceutical drugs? Recreational drugs? Stress/over-population affecting the development of the unborn and children? If the trend is actual and not just Gen Z's version of shock-Rock-n-Roll, then what's causing it?
This is most likely the answer. To be the majority and therefore average, gets you no attention. I worked with a guy once who grew up upper middle class, the son of a construction company foreman and a mom that was the CFO at a bank. However, he comes to our low end version of Hooters and he seemed to be upset that he came from such a comfortable existence. The rest of us were trailer park denizen that had stories. He had none really. His little bubble had kept from seeing life's seedy underbelly. In the 1.5 years i worked with him.. he seemed to go out of his way to make his life suck even more. Drinking too much, getting evicted from his dumpy apartment, having no romantic partners. etc.
