You'll always be able to say "Well, I..." but just because you had a different experience doesn't mean every JAPANESE person that was asked questions is somehow the wrong ones and you're right.

I wouldn't think he was trying to fight you on your analysis just that the youth of Japan are becoming much less traditional. So if you are asking a group that already finds it weird/unappealing to wear a yukata of course they are going to think a foreigner wearing one when "I'm Japanese and I don't want to wear one" mentality exists.
One thing I found funny during my time in Japan...I really wanted clothing/hats that had a Japanese style to them but all I could find was Lakers or American surf company labels. When I asked my friend why I could not find any hats that were Japanese in style she said because it would be weird for Japanese to wear a Japanese styled hat...go figure.
So this is from the same demographics you selected and as MMM pointed out this same group would probably find a foreigner wearing a Onigashiyama hat weird because they are all wearing Long beach and Laker's gear.
