consumerism

A seriously over-rated form of modern day cult of commerce, whereby people buy goods. This has led to a rise in needless temptation as well as popular culture, which in turn results in mindless youths sinking into the morass of peer pressure and attention-seeking behaviour, all for the name of cold, hard cash.

Otherwise, a desirable practice.

Humans think consumerism is the key to a better life.
