i notice this issue whenever i watch new films--everything looks so sterile and uninviting. culture has taken on this showroom/instagram aesthetic that gestures to class but has no character, taste and doesn't look like anywhere where anyone would actually live; it's nowhere where anyone sensible would want to live, at least.

calling it minimalistic is disrespectful because that word and style aren't mutually exclusive.

    yeah but if you say this to people they just think you're an asshole, and worse, you're probably poor.

    this is the aspirational standard that dominates American mindset. you also need a grey luxury car to go with it, preferable an Audi or Tesla.

    the point is to be as flavorless, generic, and bland as possible, because that has the broadest appeal. it's come to the point where real estate agents now tell people to remove family photos when they try to sell their houses.
