Consumer culture

Lifestyle hyper-focused on buying material goods

Consumer culture describes a lifestyle hyper-focused on spending money to buy material or goods. It is often attributed to, but not limited to, the capitalist economy of the United States. During the 20th century, market goods came to dominate American life, and for the first time in history, consumerism had no practical limits. Consumer culture has provided affluent societies with alternatives to tribalism and class war.
