What we call rebellion now is later on simply noted as a societal or cultural change. Music is one of the best examples of this since it changes so rapidly. Look at music like big band and swing. It was the big thing for a few decades, then comes along the "rebellious" rock and roll of people like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry...hardly what we would today think of as being rebellious.
Following rock and roll, every decade has been termed rebellious in some way or another. I'm sure a few of you remember Back in Black. Yet now, it's accepted as simply changing times.
To tie this all in, look at the recent rise in popularity of Michael Buble. He's a phenomenal singer and has brought back swing/big band in a huge way. Hats and other "older" styles are on their way back. If e-bay and our user base is any indication, straight shaving is on its way back. Rebellious? Perhaps at the moment, but I'm betting that all of this "old style" rebellion will soon turn into something of a cultural change.
