As an 18 year old who just graduated high school, I have noticed this:

Where people used to hate on the nerds, my age is beginning to appreciate the intellect that nerds have.

People from lower income have a culture that is aimed away from intellectual values and more toward the gossip and fashion that you talked about.

I am not saying this applies to the whole of my generation, (and I will note that I come from a city where most everybody's parents are engineers or have careers that require an advanced education) but it has at least started to take a rise and I can't wait to see what we have to offer to the world.
