Gen-Z mode would get me more excited, interested to use the app for its intended purpose. Shouldn't all apps aspire the same?

I agree, I am not much younger than OP, but I think the GenZ version he posted is much more engaging. His default one is definitely lacking soul. But I dont think you have to give up Minimalism to gain that soul.

I find this weird but i've always sort of resented generations (Boomer, GenX, etc) that aren't mine (Millenial) but Gen Z is the first one i've really liked. I find the general Gen Z humour to be very funny. I love their mercurial embrace of trends and tearing down of sacred cows. The way they approach work/life balance, call out stupid cultural norms. Their attitude and acceptance of people not like themselves.

By the way I know this resentment is stupid and unfounded in any reality - its just a feeling I have.

I know this is all generalisation and not everyone born between two arbitrary years are like this - but the general vibe I get from their generation is that the kids are going to be alright.

At one point the entire web was fun and quirky, then myspace came along and everyone stopped making their own webpages opting instead to customize their profile in crazy ways, then facebook came along and only allowed rigid government like structure. Tumblr was a beacon of hope for a time, but then wild creativity moved to sanctioned playgrounds like minecraft, or to the personal web pages of highly skilled artists.
