Consumer android. People who buy products as they are told, like robots. The life forms that dwell in the aisles at Walmart. Also can stand for Consumers with Hemorrhoid. Those are the life forms on their way back from Walmart. The ones that get in front of you in the left lane going 50.

Get the consumerocracy mug.a term coined by Bruce Levine to describe the mindset of a group of people who "are singularly attached to cheap stuff."
The term describes a culture that "creates increasing material expectations" that often can not be satiated, "devalues human connectedness," "socializes people to be self-absorbed and selfish," "obliterates self-reliance," "alienates people from normal human emotional reactions" and "sells false hope that creates more pain."

Fundamentalist Consumerism is demonstrated en-mass on every Black Friday. On Long Island, NY in 2008, Wal-Mart employee Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death by customers stampeding into the store when the doors were opened. Police attempting to clear the scene were met with hostile reactions from customers, some insisting that they "had been waiting in line since yesterday morning" to get into the store. Fundamentalist Consumerism devalues all life in pursuit of 'stuff.'

Get the consumerism mug.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.
