Contemporary us moral values come from subjectivism, relativism, and nihilism. This is at odds with contemporary moral philosophy, which is predominantly realist. The relationships and expressions are deeper than forever 21 or hot topic. If this is the maximin depth that a person has plumbed in the contemporary moral field, the problem isn't the field, rather, it's the laziness of the diver. Rejection like this...is the moral version of leather jackets. Anticapitalism is also a brand.
To be clear, I'm not making any specific claims about morality in my response to Bel, just wanted to share my perspective on a particular aspect he brought up. I admit my views on morality aren't hugely fleshed out, I put it largely down to empathy but I know philosophically speaking there's much more to it than that.
