I think it's pretty clear what they're protesting, a political and financial system that is enormously beneficial to and protective of those that need it the least. One protester said he had a degree in business, but he was also $100k in debt, couldn't find work and couldn't afford rent. His situation is not unique. Does not sound like anger for anger's sake to me.
The only thing that will make these protests ineffectual is if they peter out. If they continue to grow they could become very meaningful.
