Millennial modernism doesn't mean the generation. It's the industrial design and UI aesthetic that took hold around the turn of the millennium. AFAIK Jony Ive, one of its main architects, is a genX-er. Generationally I associate it more with genX since it took hold when that generation was entering higher levels in the corporate world.
I do agree that there is more wrong with the advert than this. I was just pointing out something nobody'd brought up.
Thank you - I understand what you are saying, and feel like I agree. I would thumbs-up in ascii if it were appropriate here.
I may be over sensitive to generational comments as I've been 'feeling my age' for several months. And the comment you posted makes sense to me better now. <3
It was repulsive.
The issue for me is not about minimalism, so this reframing is not appropriate in my case.
