Yes it does, but in other groups it is generally based on strong personal opinions that people share, whereas the young are much more likely to go along with the popular opinions of their peers rather than be different. The young are generally more focussed on fitting-in.

It isn’t until they gain more experience of life that many start to think differently and form more individual opinions. We have all been there so we all speak from experience on that.
