Chapter 3 2. Evil Minimalism

I'm a hipster in principle, so when minimalism was all the rage, of course I followed suit for a while.In those few years, my life changed a lot. I became a puppy, chasing my own tail every day: Oh, this cup does not affect the overall beauty of the kitchen; ah, the flowers in that vase There are too many color incongruities; alas, who put a piece of paper on the desk looks messy; all in all, I'm afraid that any trace of life will pollute my advanced and simple environment.A few days ago, I carefully looked through foreign home furnishing magazines and found that minimalism is finally out of date.Thankfully, the days when design ruled life is over.

This minimalism is the design hegemony of designers, and it is the fascism in aesthetics.In the past, everything a designer made was for life. Minimalism turned this concept upside down, and life followed design. As a result, I, a person who is greedy for comfort, was tortured to clean up the house every three minutes.I summed it up, there are three sins of minimalism: First, the master is redundant. It is best not to live in any minimalist house, once people live here, it will affect the very clean lines here; there should be no traces of sleeping in the bedroom, and the quilt should be more angular than that of a soldier; there should not be many flowered pillows in the living room , blankets and other things, otherwise it will not match the sofa on the buttocks; the kitchen must not have any signs of cooking, especially Chinese food, it is so cumbersome, so many things need to be cut, and the food is scattered everywhere. How can it be.Is there anything to eat in the kitchen besides that plate of matching fruit?If your house is simplified, then you are the first thing to be simplified.All you're doing is ruining style and polluting the environment, so it's best you don't mess around in your minimalist house.

Second, the attitude is cruel. There is a book that was also popular in the United States when simplicity prevailed. It is called "American Psycho". The protagonist in the story is a minimalist lunatic. can also perceive it.His house is all black, gray, and white, and he can't have any warm colors, or he will be out of breath.His suits are rehearsed in the closet by color from dark to light, and all his girlfriends are not allowed to stay overnight, and the sheets are changed immediately after sex.Only this kind of cool guy is a model of simplicity. Third, it's something rich bad guys play.

Take a closer look at Hollywood movies such as "Bed with the Enemy" and "Enough", where the villains are loyal followers of minimalism.Especially the husband in "Same Bed with the Enemy", even the cans in the kitchen cabinet have to learn to stand upright, and if one is crooked, he slaps his wife twice, which is very excessive.But those who can afford simplicity are rich people. The house needs to be big, and things need to be expensive. It’s impossible to play within fifty or sixty square meters, unless you simply sleep on the floor. Minimalism is gone and I can finally go home.Clothes can be thrown around, dishes and dishes can not be washed, cooking every day, and marrying each other every night.This is called comfortable life.
