A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

You can at least have the gaming!

IA has most games from that era archived and most consoles can be softmodded to play totally legally aquired backups that absolutely are not archived copies of games

The minimalist design epidemic started in the 1930s and has gotten continuously worse since then

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.
