just relax man. its good that you are passionate about something, even if that something is making fun of and stereotyping people that have to make guesses about, as you said yourself.
i know a few people from st mikes that certainly arent terribly wealthy from any means, and its bullshit that you would stereotype the entire school as being yuppie poseurs. this kid i know, and all of his friends, truly do care about the environment, and they practice conservation all the time. yes they do smoke weed, but they feel it is the gift that the earth gives back to them in return for their service.
i do agree with you that alot of people only listen to reggae, smoke weed,and pretend to celebrate 4/20 just so that they are looked upon as "chill kids" "hippies" and "stoners". but this problem doesnt seem to be as big in colleges as it is in high schools. kids i see every day waste every second of their life, and all of their energy putting up a false image of themselves. sure they are the "cool kids" because they do and say all the things that are stereotypical of a kid in their position, but they're lying to themselves.
im not sure if you know what the origin of 4/20 day is, and there are many different reasons that it is a celebrated day, but, i can tell you that the day does go back to haight-ashbury, where the greatful dead are from. is not just a day for kids to brag in school about being really really ripped, but that meaning is lost in translation sometimes.
regardless, you shouldnt call people out that dont deserve it
