A number of youthful (although no longer exactly young) activists claim to represent the demographic particularly with regard to relations with the police, but I could find no evidence of support for these activists; generally the opinion is that the activists represent only themselves and are interested in only themselves.
Nevertheless, an impressive array of cultural commentators have written about the demographic including musicians, journalists, "cultural curators" and academics - I am not looking at any of this work, but if you get time you might want to do some further desk research.
The inter-generational chasm that separates the demographic from older generations seems to be, in part, focused on differing attitudes towards illegal substances.
Although a bourgeoisie has developed within the minority community, there does not seem to be any class-based conflict - the minority bourgeoisie is very close to the minority underclass and children of the minority bourgeoisie are often found in the demographic.
The demographic is often obsessed with materialist culture, and aims to acquire significant amounts of money quickly (the mundane route of working for money is rejected as a blind alley that will not deliver quickly enough, if it ever delivers at all).
Possibly the hostility the demographic shows towards the opposite sex may be related to the high divorce rates in the older generations - this is just a hunch, but you might want to pursue the idea.
