Yeah, I wonder if these trends the author is picking up on (i.e. "Millennial Boring on Purpose" and "Millennial Minimalism" vs the Gen-Z "Excitement" and sparkles) is more of an actual age thing vs. a generational thing?
I'm still in my 30s, and I prefer the Millennial Minimalism now, but I didn't always. And I find myself bumping up the font size to 125% once in a while - and I expect to be doing it more and more as the years progress.
- gunfighthacksaw 5y agoYea, from what I remember of the leading edge Gen Y/ trailing Gen X culture in early 00s it was similarly fucken crazy and eclectic. Cat photos with cut out style animation playing guitars. The whole electroclash thing. Just watch the music video for The Knife’s heartbeats. I associate the sterile corpo chic with 2015 onwards because in my young adult days (2011-2014) we were wearing Aztec print stuff, ripped 501 jeans and iridescent shell jackets with fresh prince colour vomit snap backs, bright plastic sunglasses and abusing psychedelic amphetamines like it was 1988
- omgmajk 5y agoSame, and I agree fully. I saw the websites that came out when flash/shockwave was new and they were DECKED OUT and that sh*t went sour way too fast. I went from crazy designs to "millennial minimalist" as soon as I turned 30+.
