This is a fad for sure. In my day it was cool to be a lesbian but only because men wanted two chicks to make out and it was not cool to be gay. Will some people think they are gay when they are not? Sure. But I think the real key is self confidence. If people can start to regain self confidence they will snap out of it. (there are kids outright lying about being gay just to fit in I guarantee you that) Look at all the social constructs aimed at destroying self confidence. The start of it was the relentless attacks on straight white men but it seems to be spreading lately. You can also substitute self confidence with faith in Jesus (IMO harder but I try), ironically also under attack.
Well yeah it isn't going to fix everyone. Certainly having a tangible and achievable dream such as home ownership would help normal people with self worth issues. However in my original response I suggested that inherent self worth coming from yourself would be better because it doesn't rely on a system which can be sabotaged, while true faith coming from (Christian) religion is probably even better because it cannot be taken away (though harder to achieve IMO).

Well yeah I agree. Obviously if the young socialists could get homes they wouldn't be socialists anymore. That was on purpose.
