Metrospiritual

Another ridiculous, made-up, bullshit media label, which basically states that consumers believe the more they spend, the greater their contribution to the Earth -- and to their sense of inner peace.

Shopping as religion.

Consumer practice as a mainstreaming of Eastern religious values into an easily digestible, buyable form, rather like shopping your way to salvation.

"Phish heads who had to grow up and got stuck chained to a desk job became metrospiritual and reconnect with gayness via hybrid cars and tofurky brown bag lunches."

metrospiritualism

A worldview combining watered-down adherence to Eastern and/or new-age spirituality and full-on consumerism. Anyone who thinks buying an electric car is a forward-thinking solution to life's problems is a metrospiritualist.

"I don't care how much my yoga classes cost, they bring me closer to peace," said the adherent to metrospiritualism.
