- Abstract
The culture of consumption and postmodernism that is applied everyday causes an interpretation of self-identity and lifestyle. In this postmodern era, there have been emerging thoughts that are reconstructing existing thought patterns, including the culture of consuming gender. This Consumer Culture raises the pros and cons for consumers because of the emergence of incompatibility with their gender. Segmentation of gender raises certain interpretations of product identity. But for non-binaries, this phenomenon has a different effect, whereby a person can use products of different types of gender. This research aims to investigate the images and feelings of non-binaries who buy products that represent their gender expression because now products with support unisex or non-binary. Researchers have interviewed non-binary volunteers about things in their environment about the reasons they are comfortable being referred to as non-binary, public reaction to them, considerations in the selection of goods, their feelings after buying a product, then how they react to their environment after learning about products that are opposite of their gender, and their expectations of gender awareness of the products they use. Researchers found from interviews that a postmodernist impact on gender deconstruction that integrates with a consumer culture that can cause euphoria of its own and cause a reaction to gender deviations in the public.
