I think part of it at least for me why everything is less fun is that we have been on the same minimalist design for over 10 years now.

No wonder the youth are all aesthetic happy. They are just starved for style in general. Even every movie for the last 10 years has mostly looked the same.

And people wonder why I don't watch movies anymore
