> I am secretly rooting for expensive cars to become uncool.

Are you also secretly rooting for yummy foods to uncool while bland foods take their place?

Desiring uncoolness in one area does not imply such a desire in other areas and hypocrisy is not the only reason why this might be the case.

Not OP but I'm generally against Veblen goods and that applies to food and cars. Excellent target for taxation as that only makes them better status signals.

Bland, generic foods have already taken the place of many yummy foods.
