consumerism

1. the practice of conspicuously buying flashy, expensive items and expecting them to fill the voids in one’s life.

2. a pejorative used to malign people who enjoy material luxuries, implying that it’s impossible for a person do so without having an unhealthy fixation on them. usually used as a sour grapes excuse to hate people who can afford more luxuries than one’s self.
1. “tiffany keeps spending all of her money on expensive designer clothing. when will she realize that it’s personality, not consumerism, that wins friends?”

2. “ugh, did you see ted’s new bmw with heated leather seats, a gps navigation system, and a 6-disk cd changer? anyone who would buy luxuries is obviously a disgusingly shallow and materialistic consumerist.”
consumerists are slaves with white collars. advertis-m-nts have them chasing cars and clothes, working jobs they hate so they can buy sh-t they don’t need. they are the middle children of history. no purpose or place. they have no great war, or great depression. their great war should be a spiritual war. their great depression is their lives. raised by television to believe that one day they’ll all be millionaires , movie gods and rock stars. but they won’t.

a seriously over-rated form of modern day cult of commerce, whereby people buy goods. this has led to a rise in needless temptation as well as popular culture, which in turn results in mindless youths sinking into the mor-ss of peer pressure and attention-seeking behaviour, all for the name of cold, hard cash.

otherwise, a desirable practice.
humans think consumerism is the key to a better life.
buying stuff we don’t need and killing the earth’s resources.
