Excellent analogy, I'll be quoting this at some point claiming it as my own in conversation.

If you want to destroy consumer capitalism, the way to do it is to redically conform. Stop being a trendsetter. Stop being cool. Stop buying into the bleeding edge of culture. You are just feeding the cycle.

I don't think even this would work. Not being cool would be the new cool and looking not cool would be available for 50% off at Kohls.
