'the birth' of the consumer? when was that? 1950s? 1900?
these days it's possible to consume design itself let alone the stuff that design is apart of.

exactly, consumerism really took hold after Industrialism, but it's been around since the fur-trading days.

Look at the industrial design shift from pure funcionality to "design for obsolescence"(planned obsolescence), or the commodication of style, I think the graphic/typographic change is parallel.
If that doesn't help, try mixing some grape Kool-Aid with Vodka and just write whatever falls out.
