It's more than culture, as any species consumes as much as it can, and breeds to the maximum carrying capacity of the environment. US industry benefited from WWII, and the relatively high economic prosperity allowed high levels of consumerism. Any group of people under the same circumstances would behave similarly.
That said, I expect most men will be impotent when VR catches on. Births will tank, and we will rapidly lose population.
