Man critiques modern clean aesthetic from @lohause
A man, seated in a room filled with eclectic art, delivers a monologue critiquing the homogenization of modern aesthetics. He argues that the pursuit of 'clean' design has led to a world where cafes, apartments, and brands lack personality, color, and character. The video concludes with his assertion that 'good taste' has become the 'absence of taste' as society has systematically removed clutter, ornament, and personality.

Transcript excerpt
The modern world has become very clean. Too clean. Every cafe looks like a showroom. Every apartment is beige. Every brand uses the same font. Every video has the same background. Somewhere along the way, good taste became the absence of taste. We removed the better, then the color, then the ornament, then the personality.
