The definition of luxury has changed. It's now more about value, utility, and stability. Luxury means owning property in a high-end location, a MacBook Pro, fast optical networks, clean drinking water, and a reliable car.
- blueline 6y agothat's... a sweeping statement without much evidence beyond your personal experience. do you really think that people buying Saint Laurent jeans last year are now worried about "fast optical networks, clean drinking water, and a reliable car"?
- fakedang 6y agoMacBook Pros are luxury goods now? What someone, such as myself, doesn't really like them, and instead prefers Thinkpads, like most of my peers?
- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoWhat you like has little to do with luxury, and in many cases is actually anti-parallel to luxury. I like my comfortable cotton tank top and my mom's mac and cheese but neither of them are luxury goods. In fact since a lot of luxury is actually about signaling, if it's too comfortable / has high utility, it might actually lose status.
