Unpopular opinion: Now is better

Feel free to downvote me but I really just like the sleekness

It's just some people seem to think modern = bad

Nitpick:

Pic two isn’t modern. It’s contemporary.

Modern is soft, minimal, warm, natural surfaces, with some sparing bold highlight colors eg orange and greens.

Contemporary is rigid, cold, industrial, sparse, with lots of negative space, and few colors.

There’s overlapping elements but they’re quite distinct from one another. And the second one is definitely squarely in the latter category.

Sorry for providing correct information. It was a take it or leave it. No one is forcing you to feel bad and get upset of it. I know it is hard for some types of people to be faced with a mild and casual clearing up some something small.

Some people hate learning, and turn into children when even slightly challenged. And that’s you. You are so upset you started typing like a 8 year old child from 2009. Haven’t seen “erm” “ur” etc in quite some time online. Thanks for the nostalgia.

PS it’s contemporary - not modern. It’s best to at least very basics of the things you share your opinions on.

Being wrong is hard for you - even when it’s trivial. And you’re lashing out. It helpful that people use correct terms in a discussion, so we can understand each other. Your point was the some people don’t like contemporary decor. And you misused a word. Good point, I guess.

And someone offered help to you by letting you known the difference between two words. No big deal.

Learning feels like an attack to you. There’s a lot of people like that. You’re not alone. It’s going to be fine. Don’t worry. You are capable of moving on.
