“If people find the culture loathsome, they solve the problem by just buying different stuff. Even in the sixties, products were sold as a way of dealing with the anomie of consumer society—things like Volkswagens that were seen as nonconformist,” says Thomas Frank, who’s written about alternative marketing in The Conquest of Cool and about modern conservatism in The Wrecking Crew. “There will always be consumerism as a form of rebellion against consumerism.”
