The trend of “underconsumption core” romanticizes buying and using only what you need. Yes, being normal is now trending. Experts say it’s a response to a period of economic hardship.

    Good…I hope there’s a huge way of people buying nothing but good basically. Let these companies get destroyed

      The first time i heard the term: conspicuous consumption back in the esrly 2000s it really resonated with me.

      Our family is far and away removed from this, and one of the other driving factors was spending Christmas with my family and OH boy did that shit last forever…like, up at 5am and still opening presents at 3pm…absolutely over the top ridiculous.
