People like counter culture and contrarians. I mean, we're literally a country that was built on rebellion. It resonates with us. Screw the bow tie and that top button! Who cares? They are such silly social conventions anyway. Why do we wear dumb superficial pieces of cloth around our necks anyway? When you stop and think about it, it is all rather silly.
Perhaps, but rocking the messy hair and unbuttoned tie in a room of people with tuxes is just as much, if not more, or an intentional affectation than wearing a full tux.
Like a teenage boy sagging his jeans, Tarantino put just as much decision into looking like he didn't care for everyone watching as someone would put into looking like they care. His rebellion is just as much an artifice as anyone else's conformity.
