Life Before Corporate Minimalism

life before corporate minimalism

A nostalgic montage tours colorful, densely decorated retail and public spaces from the pre-minimalist era: a bookstore, children’s play area, phone shop, fast-food restaurant, game store, Claire’s, Spencer’s, and a Mountain Dew vending machine. The joke contrasts this loud, cluttered corporate design with today’s stripped-down minimalist branding, making the clip useful as a reaction to boring modern interiors and logos. The soundtrack is Lieka’s melancholic indie-pop song “I wish that youd talk to,” whose wistful mood heightens the nostalgia and absurdity.
