I mean, isn’t the message of the song kind of anti consumerist?
Wrapped up in a lovely consumerist package. Like a Che Guevara t-shirt!
Humans and the things we make can be funny little bundles of contradictions and ideological mismatches.
I don’t understand people that pay to be a walking logoboard for companies. Nike should be paying me to dress in a boring shirt with their logo on it. It’s a work uniform.
It’s worse for me. The Christmas songs are all about love and romance, the one thing I really can’t receive. It’s why I can’t listen to pop music for an extended without feeling depressed. For me, a consumerist song is literally refreshing compared to the constant reminders of what I’ve missed and will seemingly never receive.
This is the only Christmas song I approve of.
