It is no wonder this happens, because 'minimalism' today is just a memepack attenpting to address the dichotomy in working class people's heads between the amount of labor they are investing and the amount of rewards they can reap for it, by attempting to link it to Walden-style minimalism. But it's quite different IMO. Modern minimalism simply reflect the reality of not owning enough living space to store things (because they rent and rents are high) and not enough free time to use them (because they have to work too much). There is a song by Mes Aieux that I feel explains very well the feelings of young people with regards to this: https://www.youtube.com/embed/3O9FQ4ZSuBo https://www.youtube.com/embed/3O9FQ4ZSuBo (Video is Yellow Vests themed but it has English subtitles).
