Mate I'm in the EU and neighbor has got a statue of big gorilla on his balcony.

The EU is just as consumerist as the US. I can't tell you the number of young dudes who think they look cool because they're wearing a fake Hermes manpurse and who wear a cap as if a videoclip from the 90s from Vanilla Ice just called (don't get me wrong: I love Ice Ice Baby and I read Vanilla Ice is a good person. But it's 2026).

And there have been several EU companies getting funding to create an "AI personal shopper app" (all getting pwned by Google and other big players).

No really: the EU is incredibly consumerist too.
