Based on the population peak within the most consumeristic age group (18 to 35), do you think we will see the plateau and possible decline of consumerism in one of those two decades, and if so, which one?
I think we’re in the decline and don’t realize it. Mostly because the new meta hasn’t made itself clear. The American dream is about consumption. So we need a new narrative of how to individually and collectively live. Exciting time truly.

why this decade and not the 30s?
We already passed through consumerism peak imo. It was in the 2000's.
why so?
Y2K era and mcbling are best examples of overconsumption (most things of that era are tasteless and went out of style really quickly).
