manimalism 

A minimalistic lifestyle practiced mostly by single males who are only concerned about satisfying their most basic needs ie. when creating their living space. Compared to minimalism, manimalism is often described as "sad" because it is a sideproduct of one not caring about their surroundings and thus isn't concerned with appearances or finding beauty in things at all. For example a manimalistic interior has no identity, no style, and every object in it is chosen solely for its function. For example a manimalist who goes to a regular day job and does boxing in their spare time only needs a boxing bag and a bed to fuction. Everything else is non-essential and should be given as little thought as possible.

Manimalism from an outsiders perspective:
"You know the only furniture he had was like an old disgusting armchair and a tv. He was a true manimalist."

minimalist 

A person who exists with few possessions

Klaus invited me to his new minimalist apartment. I presented him with an antique Crown Derby figurine as a house-warming gift. Klaus thanked me and put it in a charity collection bag.

maximalist 

n: Someone who celebrates life in all its messy, offbeat, fresh and exciting glory! (also adj, as in "maximalist decor.")

Because she's an unabashed maximalist, Dawn's decor is always a joyous explosion of colors and textures, her living room an edgy, eclectic refuge from the ghastly "tyranny of good taste" that sometimes threatens to flood North America with a beige too far.
OR
Being a maximalist, Sarah enjoys a wide variety of friendships with people of all colors, shapes, sizes, genders, outlooks, and fashion preferences -- boho to preppie to goth to motorcycle to suzie creamcheese.

Bitcoin Maximalist 

A low IQ, low energy Bitcoin-loving bigot who thinks that any coin that has not been approved by the maxis ("shorthand for Bitcoin Maximalist"), should be thought of and labeled as a shit-coin. They are considered to be narcissistic, heavily opinionated and ill-mannered. A bitcoin maximalist will come in hot in almost any discussion but will not answer coherently, especially when their views are debunked.

Some refer to bitcoin maximalists as crypto-thought police, as they often dictate crypto narratives that end up shrouded in misinformation. They speak from an authoritative standpoint about Bitcoin and/or crypto, regardless if their positions and beliefs are based on complete B.S. Bitcoin Maximalists are notorious for using straw man arguments and will often block anyone that calls them out in any public forum.

Bitcoin maximalism ranges from Bitcoin obsession ("sees no other coin but Bitcoin") to Bitcoin conservatism ("believes that other coins can exist, but that Bitcoin is superior and should never change"). It is quite common to see newcomers, especially those coming from other overlapping industries (such as law or economics) taking the position of Bitcoin maximalist to be seen as knowledgable or to fit, despite getting into the space after a few months to a year and with no skin in the game.

Sarah: "It's great to see such a vibrant and open community developing Ethereum. I think I'd like to get involved."

Steve: "You do realize that Bitcoin has like 110% dominance. All other shit coins will go to zero, why bother with Ethereum?"

Sarah: "What evidence do you have that Ethereum will go to zero? Secondly, the DeFi applications are cool, not to mention there are countless applications being built on it, I feel Ethereum will continue to have a bright future."

Steve: "If it's not Bitcoin it's garbage and that's a FACT. Everybody on r/btc and r/bitcoin agrees with me so end of debate. Look, give lightening network like 20 years, and I promise you'll regret going to Ethereum."

Sarah: "You sound like a bitcoin maximalist Steve, having an open mind about crypto helps you know."

meat minimalist 

Someone who eats a minimal amount of meat in their diet. Though not vegetarian, a meat minimalist will live on a mostly plant-based diet that is augmented by small amounts of meat. A meat minimalist doesn't restrict eating a specific kind of meat but will eat small amounts of a variety of animals. The goals of a meat minimalist are to reduce the detrimental effects of mass production of meat products on the environment, economy and human/animal health. In addition, meat minimalism helps support small, organic/all natural and sustainable farming practices.

I tried to be a vegetarian but I love many meat dishes; I'm now a meat minimalist and only eat meat once or twice a week. I always try and eat only meat from organic or naturally raised animals.

Maximalism 

Any art movement characterized by a boundless devotion to embellishment, elaboration, complexity, palimpsest, and T-shirts that are sorta hard to read. Overlaps with so-called grunge styles.

My mom made me shop at the Gap all my life. Now that I'm on my own, I've rejected Functional Minimalism. Instead I choose the path of Maximalism, as you can tell from the calligraphic skulls all over this copy of "Beautiful Decay." Wanna see my inkblot doodles?
