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!"

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.

Get the minimalist mug.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.

Get the minimalism mug.A style of music originating in the 20th century. It is characterised by repeated motifs, varied slightly over a long period. Also common are long notes played over these repeated sections.
Interestingly enough, John Cage's famous silent piece 4'33'' is not considered minimalist, even though it is the most repetitive and minimal song ever composed.

Guy #2: No that's a Philip Glass CD. It's minimalist music.
