A smash capitalism sticker on a fucking MacBook with a visable Starbucks cup in view is just peak artfag. I'm half surprised there's no signs of obvious self harm on her legs.
Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

I know the two of us sperg about religions a lot, but this is something I know a bit about and I thought I'd add my $0.02.
There is (or was - he died about 50 years ago) an American bishop called Fulton Sheen, who said "if you don't worship God, you'll end up worshipping something and 90% of the time that something'll end up being yourself". Whether you're a fan of organised religion, you have to admit that a lot of the people who end up "worshipping themselves" or consoomerism don't follow an organised religion and see buying the latest thing, doing mookbongs, or whatever as a replacement for that and a way to fill that "religion-shaped hole".

The memes are real
NGL I do love that sparkly sakura coaster, though. I confess to being the girl who hated pink as a kid but likes it as an adult.
And, having been inspired thusly...

"Some people don't understand collecting. They don't understand wanting to have all of this space [gestures wildly to cramped room], dusting and maintaining it, they-they don't understand that. My generation may be the last generation that is really into collecting. Young people aren't interested in things, they're more interested in experiences."
I mean... I think this thread alone disproves that. Young people today are definitely sucked into this collecting shit. Especially when the pandemic became a thing and you were forced to stay inside. It's just not collecting mounds of Winnie the Pooh dolls. Now it's funko pops, naked anime figures, everything DISNEY and starbucks. The thing is, it's going to end up the same. Your kids and your grandkids don't want your worthless junk and most will be thrown away.
You could buy a cheap water bottle, stick some water and ice cubes in it, and not have a giant clunky fridge in your room to store your unhealthy soda. Just a thought.
I do have to kudos you for always finding the consoomer kawaii shit though, NoReturn. It's helped me horrify my friends now for the past two days.

Reading this thread made me really sad.e
I dunno if it is only me, but I only value the experiences of things, not the fact that I own a book or a movie. What is a book that isn't read by no one? just a pile of paper.
The same goes for collections, I recently started collection shells that I took from the beach, it was me getting it, I did not bought the cool ones and that is it, it was the experience, the shell is just something to remind me of those days, but it isn't like I will pick ANY shell in the beach just for collection or bragging sake.
I hate consoomers, not because they consume, but mostly because they are more hoarders than anything, some do not even open or pozload my neghole that they get, and if they do, sometimes they buy two of it.

They also always have the cat paws cushion, cat ears headphone from yohu or razer, Starbucks overpriced cups and cup holders, the sakura cup holder, a trillion mechanical keyboards and keycaps, giant mousepad usually themed like a nitend switch
and of course a lot sailor moon/sakura cardcaptors themed things everywhere.

I read something a few years ago about Elvis Presley memorbilia plummeting in value due to his demographic dying off. IIRC, it all plummeted pretty suddenly, and hard.
That’ll happen to just about every single one of these collections. So many kids born after 2010 are going to be throwing away enormous collections passed down from their parents/relatives.

Whenever I'm in Reno it's common to see small shops and casinos that have Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne or even Betty Boop memorabilia. Granted most of the people who visit casinos to gamble are middle-aged or elderly. But it's crazy that there are baby boomers who are still fans of something that was relevant in the 50's or 60's. In a way this has harmed popular gambling towns like Reno because of their reliance on tourists who are dying and younger generations that are more interested in social networking and video games than gambling.
It's difficult to connect to younger generations because the majority of them don't have a chance to experience what their own parents or grandparents had done as kids and teenagers. How many young gamers today have to blow on a cartridge to make it play or how popular the Kiss Army was in the 1970's. That's why I feel someone like Elvis, who's marketed as the King of Rock & Roll, would lose popularity, while franchises like Star Wars are still popular enough with fans of all ages.

This always makes me laugh. It's always an apple product, not some no-name or custom made laptop running Linux or something, and it's always Starbucks not some local indiependent place.
These fuckers are the biggest consoomers, got to love it. I get that everyone needs some kind of pc in modern times, but an Apple product lol.

is gonna be brutal for Retro videogames. Outside of few exceptions (stuff like Earthbound, Panzer Dragoon Saga) videogames are not rare items at all, they were mass produced mainstream products and so there's way more old games in the market or in people's attics collecting dust than there are people interested in buying them. Price increases don't correlate with rarity, only increased hype, and you can actually see the age of collectors just by looking at the games that are increasing in value, like N64, ps1 and ps2 games going up because more millenials are all gay for them.
A big burst is bound to happen eventually and a lot of people who though Duck hunt and a jizzed Silent Hill 3 copy they paid 400$ for for would put their kids trough college are gonna be left carrying the bag. In fact all this stuff is still extremely cheap in Japan, retro games are still easy to procure for cheap in bargain bins, maybe jews do fear the samurai.
