    To an extent. memes allow you to go back to this since memes are user generated and cheap to make their isn’t much stopping users from “going back” to a less minimalist time on those memes. I do have to say though that I think there a number of reasons as to why companies are more into minalism these days.

    1. Physical media is less prevalent, everything is happening online now, and so they might just be keeping in theme with modern web/app design.

    2. open source software is more prevalent and because of this, why would companies innovate at all if the interfaces are available to them for free.

    3. apple does it, and everyone has to follow apple. it’s the trend in business.
