Original question text by @phantomwise@lemmy.ml

What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

  • Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine's programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.
  • Every website looks like it's made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.
  • Actually EVERYTHING looks like it's made for a phone... Like what's the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it's not like you're lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can't be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

Rounded screen corners.

It's very hard to find unique colors these days. Everything is becoming color graded for digital. That means everything starts looking the same because screen displays are limited, especially in the web.

I hate single page apps that force you to click on a post to see comments, and don't let you open them in a new tab.

San-serif fonts across everything.

Pants and suits coming in slim fit. Went to Macy's, they had like 5-6 of the maybe 8 clothing things with only slim fit. Mf this is fucking McDs loving USA. Ain't nobody got time for that slim fit nonsense. Why do people not realize that shit also makes the rise some uncomfortable? At that point you just hate have testicles to the point that you may as well admit you're into a fetish.

Apartment complex websites that photoshop (outright lie) about what the apartment is like and you're not allowed to see the actual place before renting (current tenant is still there, or the manager/owner just doesn't want you to see even if it's empty). And - there's so much competition for apartments in the area you either sign the lease sight-unseen or you live in your car.

I've done OK in some of these. None were what the website pics and descriptions offered, but they were still OK. Some others, though, turned out to be absolute broken down dumps. And every single one of these places have great online reviews. Imagine that.

The trend to more complicated but cheaper instead of doing it right. Result is news about security incidents every single day.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Light colored text on a light colored background, in the thinnest font possible. It's like, let's make wrenches out of rope because that would look cool.

Probably preaching to the choir but: Corporate Memphis

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't seen it much in the last year or so, but Corporate Memphis art style in any and all tech was causing so much rage inside of me. I'm so relieved it's not so much a thing anymore, but for a few years it was everywhere.

touch screens aren't a design trend. they're a way to save cost.
