The social structure created by consumerism's need to self-perpetuate has given rise to the evolution of increasingly costly symbols of wealth, and the acquisition of extravagances that do not meet real needs but perpetuate the system. Wanna be a Superstar embodies the uselessness of these behavioral patterns, and the damaging effect they have on those wanting to improve their lives. It symbolizes the absurd reality created by the mechanisms and underlying forces that drive contemporary consumer society. Wanna be a Superstar is a metaphor for our destructive pursuit of acquisitions and the pillars on which we place them. It embodies the ever-increasing production of symbols we try in vain to acquire. Wanna be a Superstar intends to ask us to consider the irony of behaviours which unwittingly increase the disparity of wealth, and hopelessly cement our positions within the new social class system.
