I'll latch onto any occasion to cry about the utter travesty of minimalist design.

It absolutely it, it's a modernist essence that has never been properly ejected from postmodernism, and as a result, taken it over. Minimalism as a term never under modernism, because there was no need for it, it was just the regularity of it.

Mininalism is a rotten leaf that remains of the fascist aesthetics that is modernism.
