This is rather good in a hipster kind of way, New Order's Blue Monday played with antique instruments.  Sounds pretty similar to me.

I did find that really interesting, but...

I don't mean to be pedantic, and I know it's still contemporary, but I still think using a theremin for this sort of thing is cheating a bit...

It's funny how you get reminded of things, though...

 

A few days ago I saw an IMDb poll about instrumental (mainly classical) music that you can't think of in the same way again (e.g. the William Tell Overture after seeing "The Lone Ranger"). Combined with this thread, I couldn't help being reminded of this: the Manchester Passion's interpretation of Jesus and Judas at Gethsemane...

(Apologies for the poor quality.)

I dunno if I can answer for everyone ...

Showing off is one thing. Keeping up with, or bettering, the Jones'  (again - showing off).

Some people just like nice things and sometimes those things can cost.

Some believe it somehow makes them more alluring (again showing off)

 

For me it's selective - that watch (above) is around ÂĢ2500 (I don't like most Breitling for example)

I wouldn't have a Ferrari - i'd prefer a classic Mercedes SL = ÂĢ20,000

I'd never have a super yacht - a sloop is better

It's kinda buying into a restrained luxury lifestyle
