Consumer Culture Quotes

Consumer culture is contradiction in terms Picture Quote #1

Behind the criticism of fashion as an artistic medium is a highly ideological prejudice: against markets, against consumers, against the dynamism of Western commercial society. The debate is not about art but about culture and economics Picture Quote #1

I encourage people not to be passive consumers of music and of culture in general. And feeling like, yeah, you can enjoy the products of professionals, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to completely give up the reins and give up every connection to music or whatever it happens to be Picture Quote #1

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that’s a very sad thing. It’s film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that’s everywhere around the world Picture Quote #1

In our culture, we get very much into shorthanding people. And I got shorthanded as That Guy: Jennifer Lopez, movies bombed, therefore he must be a sort of thoughtless dilettante, solipsistic consumer blahblahblah. It’s hard to shake those sort of narratives Picture Quote #1

Pop culture is not about depth. It’s about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism Picture Quote #1

We get off track. Capitalism takes us off track. You get off the real and get on the wheel. The wheel becomes the winning and losing, the succeeding and failing, the I will achieve. All that stuff becomes so preoccupying, particularly if you’re born with low self-esteem, or no sense of yourself, or even if you’re just born in the consumer culture. It’s very powerful Picture Quote #1

What would a church look like that created space for quietness, that bucked the celebrity trend and unplugged from noisy media, that actively resisted our consumer culture? What would worship look like if we directed it more toward God than toward our own amusement? Picture Quote #1

I’m part of the consumer culture... I’m just using the space I am given to express something that is out of the space so I’m part of the consumer system but I’m advocating stepping out. Which is a contradiction but I could be part of he consumer system and say, ‘let’s consume even more.’ Picture Quote #1

Feckless as it was for Bush to ask Americans to go shopping after 9/11, we all too enthusiastically followed his lead, whether we were wealthy, working-class or in between. We spent a decade feasting on easy money, don’t-pay-as-you-go consumerism and a metastasizing celebrity culture Picture Quote #1

I’m part of the consumer culture. I was part of the baby boom generation. I have a car when I shouldn’t, a couple of computers; I can’t be anti-consumerist in that sense Picture Quote #1

We live in a consumer culture, and Black Friday is like the July 4th of that culture. It might be good not to live in this culture, but it terms of what we can do to make people safer at big sales, it seems more useful to try to avoid dangerous crowd conditions Picture Quote #1

I think America and Britain have a different culture from France. They discovered marketing and consumerism before France Picture Quote #1

I’m someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song Picture Quote #1

I love consumerism, TV culture, shopping malls. There’s nothing I’d ever buy, but I like being there. It’s wacky Picture Quote #1

The reality is that a consumer culture which chucks out its iPhones for a new version every nine months is completely unsustainable, because Earth has already reached the tipping point. ‘The General Strike’ attempts to personalize these issues and encourage listeners to look for a new model Picture Quote #1

The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in Picture Quote #1

I’m caught up probably just as much in the consumer culture as the next person Picture Quote #1
