It's possible your theory might apply to kids under the age of maturity--but once people get out of high school, they don't tend to follow group trends so slavishly.
Members of a group of high school students tend to look much more alike than members of a group of college students, in my observation.
Then why do neurotypicals idolize celebrities, politicians etc... when they are over 18? Why do neurotypicals still hang out with a group of friends in the weekends? Neurotypicals still follow alphas when they are over 18 unless they are alphas.
Neurotypicals need social interaction which is why they are less likely to think for themselves.
Most people I know dispise the cult of celebrity as much a I do. Fan as shorthand for fanatic. Which means they are going to obsessivily watch celebrity oriented progamming and read celebrity oriented news articles. Media and culture will pander to loyal viewers and readers who will buy celebrity products that advertisers will want to pay media to attract. Therefore the amount of media attention to celebrity is greater then actual interest creating a false impression of mass celebrity obsession.
While there is some overlap schzoid personality is bieng confused with Autism. Difficulties in interaction with the NT world causes perception and self perception of less need to aversion to social interaction.
