ok, I think I have figured what freaks me out about this and it's not the actual look.
It's not status seeking or youth seeking or trying to be a particular ethic or racial group
it's identifying/showing an extremist allegiance to a political ideology . It's extreme because it is body modification for politics. It's not just speaking french or dressing in a certain way or a hair cut.
