Minimalism got me, friends... Don't know how to get rid of it. I just like this shit, both in print and on web, but it seems "normies" don't.
How can I cleanse my taste?
My man, calling that minimalism is a bit of a stretch. But I'm surprised you think 'normies' don't like it, that botanical / geometric white text fad is 2 years deep now

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHA
Anyway... Whatever the fuck you want to call it - stuff like these (check out the thumbnails)

Bold text, preferably in caps, centered, background image that is always either blurred or darkened. It is pretty simple and I see it everywhere. How do you feel like this? It is relatively easy to do compared to some other styles.

how do you feel about* this?

teach you what? I don't understand what your question is, your op post was unclear too. cleanse your taste? teach you something? what do you want?
and can you not be so sensitive lmao? you are ignorant so you were mocked. one post is nothing to cry over, sheesh.

I'm not sensitive but I can never get a normal discussion on this board. This is not a first post, it's more like 30th.
I'd basically like to know how do designers feel about this style and if they think it is cheap, because I see it everywhere.
And okay, I admit that is not a "minimalism", but it is still pretty minimalistic - I don't know how else to call it.

What a tough question. People have been debating this for centuries. Is any art or design better because it's more difficult to do? In some ways, yes. In some ways, no.
Depends who's doing it, why they're using it, where it's being used, how much it's being used, etc.
I reckon for those YouTube videos it's perfect and not cheap. A great photo + clear and interesting typeface is ideal design for thumbnails. Great design is also knowing WHEN to use what style.

>typography is minimalistic
oh friend...no....
the OP image isn't minimalism, consider minimalism, black and white with the least amount of text as possible. Type isn't the only part of minimalism
