Well obviously they do "give a ####," otherwise they wouldn't invest hundreds of dollars in buying this stuff and maintaining their augmented self.
Was actually really curious about how this trend came about and why so many beautiful young women do this to themselves? And how many of the younger generation males actually find this look attractive? Please help grand pa out here.

No one's here critiquing you for wearing sandals with socks or khaki cargo shorts grandpa.

Yup, that's pretty cringe inducing too, and I don't condone it either. Cargo pants/shorts are also a generation or two after me and I don't understand that at all either. In fact, I don't understand the way people dress at all anymore. I come from the generation of wearing a suit and tie to work and dressing was a show of respect to your customer and trying to make a positive first impression. So, I find I'm over-dressed everywhere I go anymore which is probably just as cringe, even though I get plenty of compliments on my attire. There is some awfully interesting plumage out there which makes people watching so much fun these days.
BTW, I'm with EldrickonIce that most forms of expression are cool. I loved the punk and goth movements because of the expression of themselves and the counterculture they embraced. It was the general fashion trends that were always so strange to me (bell bottoms, leisure suits, parachute pants, etc.) but it was still cool in a way. Where I get lost is the body augmentation stuff, and it's not just this generation. I never understood the attraction of the plastic surgery boom, but that's probably because of my religious upbringing (the body is your temple).
