Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

Actual cancer. "I can't watch a gang bang while getting groceries? Tyranny!" But seriously, why walk with these things on? I get it has augmented reality, but the battery life is like 2 hours or some shit. At least with something like Master Chiefs helmet, it's hooked up to a nuclear reactor. What are you even supposed to do in 2 hours while walking on the street wearing this paperweight???
Show that you own it

I am curious on what percent are genuinely using and what percent are merely flaunting it. Probably both is what most are but still.
 
Not to drag out the water-tok/cup-craze discussion but lol

this tubby lady is the target demographic for the shit. Note also the hoarding of flavored syrups, that's another trend, though one that's been around a long time. yaas kween consoom
I still can't get over the fact that these bitches need these weird, artificial flavours to drink simple water, completely deranged trend.

It's probably similar to the 'cool factor' of wearing headphones around your neck, except that people actually did cause they were listening to music and just put them down
This? This is signaling to people that you're a douchebag
 
They're also so addicted to Apple Vision Pro that they're seen walking in the streets with this thing on. This is a new low.

All hail the new flesh! Now even gayer.

While making this joke, I had a hazy feeling that that scene where guy is shown walking still in VR helmet is among cut ones, but I only watched Videodrome once
 
XBros losing their shit over console exclusivity.

A grown man, serenading an Xbox. Wat?!?

demanding a brand deliver on it's promises isn't consumerist in my eyes, it's the opposite, a brand works for the consumer, not the consumer for the brand
My guy… Let’s ignore THE MAN SERENADING HIS XBOX TO SAD MUSIC, in what way exactly, does it harm an Xbox owner, that MS will go multi platform?

What CONCRETE drawbacks does it have to an Xbox owner that Starfield or Gears of War will be available on PlayStation? In what way are they hurt, inconvenienced or disadvantaged?

That’s right. Zero. It’s all about having put your identity into some lame “Nuh-uh!” console war.
 
Is "Stationery" consooming a thing? I mean artfags are one thing but some stuff has been showing up in my recommended recently.

And every singe video on that channel is "Why you NEED [insert useless shit]"
To be fair, that channel is the Youtube channel of a stationery online store (they are selling a lot of japanese stuff, iirc), so it is somewhat normal to try to sell shit.

But stationery consooming is absolutely a thing, just like art&craft supply consooming. Some Youtube "collections" are insane and there are dedicated cult like followers (there has been some drama about someone reviewing some other Youtubers art supply line and some rabid fans going apeshit because it wasn't all positive.)

One example are Blackwing pencils. They might be good pencils (I've never used them), but they are overpriced, not to mention there is a new *limited edition* every other week.
