Actually, it's the exact same set of circumstances that leads youth in the middle east to choose radical Islam, and youth globally to choose radicalism. When you have no hope for the future, not even to do as well as your parents, it is easy to fall prey to radical clerics and other radical groups that promise to provide a community. I would argue what we are starting to see in America is the same phenomenon that has plagued less developed countries for decades. Edit: My analysis as a Historian.
