minimallist

A "consuming" style of living dat involves spending significant time and resources while partaking of da various "sights 'n' delights" at one or more small multi-store shopping malls. Considered to be just a "basic and bare-bones" existence by today's advertising-jaded youth.

A classic "grim grins" example of "minimallist living", from an old late-'80's-era "teenagers and their parents" type comic strip:

Exasperated father, speaking on the telephone: "Look --- will you quit bugging us?! I already told you --- Junior is grounded until he gets his grades back up, and so he CAN'T GO TO THE MALL TODAY!"
Mother: "Oh, honey --- you shouldn't talk to our son's friends that way! It's only natural that they'd miss seeing him at the mall!"
Exasperated father: "Our son's friends?! That was the MALL MANAGER on the phone!"

Minimalism

Not just an aesthetic, but a way of life. This philosophy is characterized by owning only essentials, and not buying anything that you won't use. You must make as much utility as you can out of a thing. Space cannot be wasted with superfluousness. Accessories, swag, beauty, boring or unproductive activity, and useless objects are not recommended. Minimalism is wrongly associated with sleek, white, and boring products, but those things are often NOT actually minimalist because they have no use other than looking aesthetic. Minimalism is about essentialism and materialism, not appearance. Minimalism is not anti-color or anti-fun.

I only have 3 outfits in my closet, 3 close friends, and 2 meals a day because I am practicing Minimalism.

decolonial minimalism

A philosophical, cultural, and aesthetic movement that merges the principles of minimalism with decolonial thought. It advocates for rejecting excessive consumerism and colonial influences in favor of intentional, ethical, and culturally rooted practices. Decolonial minimalism emphasizes sustainability, indigenous knowledge systems, and the reclamation of identity through simplicity and conscious choices.

His paintings embody decolonial minimalism, stripping away colonial aesthetics to highlight indigenous symbols and narratives in their rawest, most powerful form.
