I used to be all into it but now I've realized it's just another stupid trend. Seems a little pretentious too. Like they shun the very thought of possibly increasing their arbitrary object count and act as if anyone who likes to collect things whether out of interest, hobby or nostalgic purposes is some sort of brainwashed product of modern society.
I just look at most of the people I know who are into it or the "leaders" of the movements in terms of online presence and they all just seem fake or pretentious to me.

Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Absolutely. They're just telling themselves they are minimalist, and keeping their place relatively clean.
After I watched that documentary, I cleaned my house and realized it was all bullchit. 99% of the stuff I own, I may not need right now, but I need it. Stuff like a toolset, a travel wallet, extra USB cable. All of the "clutter" filling my closet is stuff that if I threw away, I'd be pissed that I can't find it within 2 weeks. I'm not even saying this is a bad thing. I got rid of 1% that was junk, and cleaned my apartment...
TLDR, there's no difference from "minimalism" and just keeping your chit clean.

minimalism makes me feel genuinely content in life, i don't give a fuk if other people do it as some kind of trend, all I know is it makes me a lot happier and I think i'll be living this way for the rest of my life. Well, I hope so.
Do what makes u feel good bruh, disregard anyone else's views

What's more ridiculous is our society where everyone buys stupid things to try and one up each other. Blind consumerism. At this point a bit of minimalism is a good thing

Minimalism is an excuse for being poor
It's "I don't have a lot of money to buy stuff and I may end up living in my car soon so better keep the amount of chit I own light"

My logic was "if I can go an entire year abroad and not miss, need, or think about this stuff when i come back then it's junk." 12 months, and $850 in storage fees later 99% of that was junk and maybe 1% of it was actually needed.

People just need to live within their means and not fall into the trap of rampant consumerism... invest in yourself, your hobbies and things that make you happy, but do it wisely

There's a reason it's a millenial trend, because nobody can afford to buy in this market and everybody is renting and moving around constantly when their landlord turns out to be a dick

I think you've totally missed the point of minimalism. I'm not a 'minimalist' myself but the concepts are universal.
It's not about just throwing out all your stuff.
It's about how there's a lot of people living in huge, heavily mortgaged homes, with huge amounts of credit card debt, working jobs they don't like just to pay for these things. It's about being content with less and thinking more about how you use your resources

The minimalism idea is appealing, but not as appealing as being prepared for anything, so I'd prefer to have to much stuff. I try to reduce my carry when hiking or flying, but if I have a vehicle with me, it's gonna be stocked full of **** I may not need.
Clean simple homes are appealing as well, but my wife and I have a house full of antiques, she collects stoneware like bowls and crocks, has probably a hundred, I have 1-200 antique axes, so we are closer to hoarders than minimalists.
My latest axe restoration, Clear Cut acid-etched head, manufactured for a hardware store (Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden) out of San Fransisco between 1888 and 1927.

Maybe a couple hundred is a bit excess, but I sell them as a side business, had a misc bro buy a nice jersey pattern a year back.
I find the EDC trend to be more lame than the minimalists, they seem to add clutter to their pockets for the sake of sharing a flatlay photo.

My mind automatically wandered to art & photography when I read the thread title... I love minimalism in creative applications, I wouldn't mind having less clutter around the house though, I live with a Woman who shops, there's clothing with tags from 2-3 years ago around here somewhere I'm sure and we live in a 1500sq. foot house with no place to put the ****, I'll get on board lol.

[QUOTE=W1LLW post_id=1507412851]Meh, calling bullsht on this one. Using my own "clutter" as an example. 2 years ago I left the states for a job that had me traveling around europe a lot. I took everything i THOUGHT was important and put it in uhaul storage.
My logic was "if I can go an entire year abroad and not miss, need, or think about this stuff when i come back then it's junk." 12 months, and $850 in storage fees later 99% of that was junk and maybe 1% of it was actually needed.
We don't truly understand how much useless sht we have until it's time to packup and bounce.[/QUOTE]honestly I think it's both.
i havesome clutter laying around that I keep "just in case" or for security reasons, IE mail, that I could easily clean out. At the same time, I also have multiple items that are not "clutter", but not absolutely essential. However, were I to get rid of those things, I would eventually need to buy them again.
I think sometimes the minimalism "trend" emphasizes it a bit too much, to the point people might think they should get rid of things they might or will need in the future just because it isn't being utilized every day.
And like you said...idk why we need a fad or trend to keep your stuff organized and not hoard unessential stuff.

We don't truly understand how much useless sht we have until it's time to packup and bounce.[/QUOTE]honestly I think it's both.
i havesome clutter laying around that I keep "just in case" or for security reasons, IE mail, that I could easily clean out. At the same time, I also have multiple items that are not "clutter", but not absolutely essential. However, were I to get rid of those things, I would eventually need to buy them again.
I think sometimes the minimalism "trend" emphasizes it a bit too much, to the point people might think they should get rid of things they might or will need in the future just because it isn't being utilized every day.
And like you said...idk why we need a fad or trend to keep your stuff organized and not hoard unessential stuff.
[QUOTE=BlueSasquatch post_id=1507415221][b]The minimalism idea is appealing, but not as appealing as being prepared for anything, so I'd prefer to have to much stuff.[/b]I try to reduce my carry when hiking or flying, but if I have a vehicle with me, it's gonna be stocked full of **** I may not need.
Clean simple homes are appealing as well, but my wife and I have a house full of antiques, she collects stoneware like bowls and crocks, has probably a hundred, I have 1-200 antique axes, so we are closer to hoarders than minimalists.
My latest axe restoration, Clear Cut acid-etched head, manufactured for a hardware store (Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden) out of San Fransisco between 1888 and 1927.

Maybe a couple hundred is a bit excess, but I sell them as a side business, had a misc bro buy a nice jersey pattern a year back.
[b]I find the EDC trend to be more lame than the minimalists, they seem to add clutter to their pockets for the sake of sharing a flatlay photo.[/b][/QUOTE]and also both of the bold in this post. always mirin your axes hard af man

just lol if you keep any documents/papers at your house. brb my parents have huge cabinets stacked with documents from 20 years ago, "maybe we'll need them sometime!". scan all your chit to a flashdrive and throw it away, if you'll need it just print it out later.

So this is where we are...people have gotten to the point where they are so obsessed with buying material possesions that we now have a label for living a normal life of being clean, tidy, and not overspending.

Someone explain minimalism to me. Is it just having the minimal amount of everything in your life? or certain things? just getting by with absolute necessities? I have seen minimalistic style houses but never heard of it as a full on lifestyle.
