Compared that to Instagram where the buttons are obvious.

It takes literal ages to edit videos in this style so while the end result may resemble h.264 encoded ADHD, the process does not.
Literal ages is such a random gen-z way of describing this! I'm literally a video editor/motion graphics person, so no, this doesn't take "literal ages" to edit.

This may be more a case of boomer mode, but I opt for everybody in software development to be put on customer/user email support for a while. It's very educational, humbling, and maddening.
You could have a giant flashing camera button permanently in the UI and you'd still get this question. People still can't find it or they can and then double-click it, shutting it down again. The amount of ways in which people can misunderstand even the simplest of interactions is a sight to behold.
This still pales compared to what for some websites/apps is 75% of their support requests: logging in. You think you've drawn out every process, sub process and exception, but people will find many new ways to screw this up.
One of the core UX lessons is that people don't read anything, so any instruction is in vain. They operate on vague patterns from other experiences, muscle memory and basically just click based on intuition, and if that wasn't what they wanted, they go back and try something else.

I blame Ritalin for this type of video, either someone took too much or needs to up their dosage. Visual graphix aside, it's just exhausting to listen to. Dude, take a breath, or at least allow your viewers to take one. Had to double check I didn't leave my YT player in faster than normal playback speed.

For those who don't get the farm auctioneer reference:
I hit partiful.com and found this after scrolling a bit: The Recyclable Camera Includes development, a prepaid mailer, & free shipping. Photos are sent straight to your phone, where you can upload them to your Partiful party page. Go ahead, make some memories (The specs: Premium Kodak 400 ISO 35mm film with 27 exposures.) Really? Everything old is young again!
Design trends come and go. Minimalism is has probably already peaked, and typically when a trend peaks the next trend intentionally runs against it. The "gen-z" look reminds me of the early web when people thought that and were really exciting html elements. Those were noisy pages, but they had the feeling of an enthusiastic hobbyist scrapbook, and that was part of the appeal. "I could make something cool like that."…

Agree. I feel like I've heard so many comments recently that the web looks so boring, and people miss the old fun of the early web. And people who miss the web of the 90s and early Oughts are by definition not Gen Z... I'm excited for a bit of bang and pop and messiness and individuality to come back. With it, I hope for return of websites. You can't display individuality on an endless scrolling feed of social media.
I haven't heard nearly as many people wanting a return to maximalist 90s web design. People miss the time when a website wasn't a 3 megabyte download, and didn't pop up a newsletter signup form. They don't (as often) miss the web pages with 100 animated gifs on them, an over the top tiled background, blinking text, and so on. Many more people want the minimalism of a page that gets out of the way and shows you the co…
It's hand written. This was also an early web thing: no npm build pipeline. I feel a little bad not making the modal view fallback to image-is-a-link when JS is disabled (I also would've opted for no google fonts, but it ultimately isn't my site)
Meanwhile another friend built a similar site: https://kaeillustrates.art which may have more of that Gen-Z aesthetic (albeit we're millennials, so it doesn't go overboard) & is built on tailwind/react
Hopefully minimalist-as-fashion design will go away & minimalist sites can return to being small memory/dependency footprint
The younger people want the pop and sparkles. The older people want what they're using to simply work because they value their time. The pop and sparkles are a distraction that doesn't add to the functionality.
