That's my definition as well. I've drawn different conclusions, though. Hedonism, nihmism, etc... they've all gotten a bad name because of Edge lords who burn out. You don't have to be over consumeristic or do copious amounts of drugs. That would go AGAINST hedonism because you'll be unable to pursue pleasure in the future. It doesn't have to be an immediate payoff.
You're upset with people who are short-sighted, not hedonists. Those things aren't exclusive, but I think you catch my drift.
I think what you described here is epicureanism, not hedonism.
