Conspicuous Consumption 1 2 3

Conspicuous Consumption 1 

Perpetuating conspicuous consumption with fear 

Shame the victim with fear tactics

You’re not good enough

You’re not smart enough

You’re not good looking enough

Transform yourself with products

Hair, skin, body

And let’s not forget steroids

Our youth are being oppressed

With anxiety about being ‘not good enough’

So they buy stuff to make themselves ‘better’

They were great to begin with

And we’re silent on oppressive conspicuous consumption

 

Conspicuous Consumption 2

Perpetuating conspicuous consumption 

Everything is disposable mantra

Everything can be replaced 

Everyone is disposable mantra

Everyone can be replaced

The illusion of

Modernization

Convenience

Cutting costs

Better living with new things every day

In a disposable world, people are disposable
