The question whether or not minimalism is dead? I think is very interesting and subjective. As really it provokes the question ~ what actually is minimalism? Moreover, what is minimalism in terms of also being a minimalist video creator and being able to continue creating content.
So for this video lets put minimalism under the microscope…
Does the above, culminate in asking, is this the end of minimalism? That is, when the very nature of minimalism goes against the grain of society, advertising & physical content to show in minimalist videos.
I explore in this video how some may think minimalism is dead. If Minimalism is equal to only decluttering. How furthermore minimalist channels on youtube may die when they run out of content, if it has only been a minimalist journey of stuff rather than the minimalist lifestyle. Albeit, I address the problematic nature of being a minimalist content creator. That is, that large platforms want to use videos' as a vehicle for showcasing products and advertisements. Therefore, the minimalist video maker, is not going to be a priority for the marketing algorithm Gods 😂

I grew up in the 60s and 70s , there just wasn’t the stuff to buy , not as many restaurants and malls either , no cable no internet no social media no cell phone no computers, it’s a modern day overload. We spent a lot of time outside, doing physical things , and reading , journaling , and just daydreaming ! It’s almost hard to remember not needing constant stimuli. We didn’t have much , families had smaller houses , shared 1 car , simpler meals, hand me downs , we didn’t have plastic bags , or water bottles , it was tap for all. It was a simpler quieter time , we are a desperate world spinning out of control
Lovely insights… hopefully we will reach a point where we realise it has to stop
I don’t think minimalism is dead; I think the talking heads on the subject are declining. I have to admit I am not interested in watching people talk about minimalism, and using stock photos. I like to see how they live; like you. You show how it affects your life and thoughts. I remember when I first started watching your channel you said you had a goal, to travel - it’s great to see your journey. What’s next, minimalist travel, setting up your new home? Also what’s important is liking the content creator.
Thank You very much 😊 that is lovely compliment and is what I hope many of my viewers want 😊 as I too am not interested in talking ‘only’ about minimalism. 😊
We are spending ourselves out of existence. It's really scary!
It truly is 😧 & all the waste 🤦♀️
@@SagelifeMinimalism we are leaving such a mess for the next generation 🤬
🌞Cluttering up our lives and decluttering has become a vicious cycle and we are missing the point of minimalism. I love your viewpoint and your videos!
Thank you ☀️ 😊
For me personally? Never.
🙌 🙌
The pendulum always swings. We are in a “attention” economy currently. Everyone wants our eyeballs. The currency is our time. Be careful who you give it to.
Totally agree 🙌
I was a military brat thru the 70s an 80s. I was never poor. But I was never aloud to have any thing because we would have to move at a moments notice. I have been a minimalist since the 70s and I am now in my 50s and I am still a minimalist. I just didn't know that's what it was called until like 5 years ago.
That’s interesting. My partner was the same. He’d been living that way for years. He knew he just didn’t like having a lot of stuff to take care of or to move. Then when I started to realise I wanted less and researched decluttering & minimalism all of a sudden we had a name for it 😂 😊
I see a decluttering trend on TH-cam that many videos are named things like “Getting rid of everything”, “From horder to minimalist” or “I got rid of 90% of my stuff”. In that sense I believe it is super trendy.
However, many people are afraid of saying they want to be a minimalist because that is promising something that they may not be able to achieve or even want to achieve.
But when one gets to a specific point in once decluttering something happens. I never ever thought I would go as far as I have done and there are more to come. I am minimalistic and I will be a minimalist shortly. It is great.
Thank you ☺️
I’ve recently started watching your channel. I am going one step further. My minimalist journey will eventually lead me to my final goal. I have fallen hard for the tiny house movement and that could be built on a trailer or turning a bus or even a cargo van into a tiny home.
I just love the idea of being able to move at a minute’s notice. The thought of waking up in a different place every other day along the coastline with my dog is what makes me keep striving towards that final step…
That’s lovely 🥰 our eventual aim is to build our own small cabin or renovate one 😊in the woods somewhere 🌲
I do find it harder to declutter some items more than others. Seeing your process helps inspire me to go further with my decluttering and think more about what I actually do need, and what I don't. Thank you!
Thank you ☺️
I think you‘ll find that minimalism is a good deal older than 2017… It‘s been going in waves for decades and it‘s certainly been much written about and online since the 80s and 90s. Whether it‘s simple living, frugalism, voluntary simplicity, essentialism or minimalism, versions of it, including extreme minimalism, have been around for a very long time. It‘s been a big visual online since at least the early 2000s because I‘ve been following it!! Terms like Affluenza (book came out in 2002) are nothing new, consumerism as a problem has long since been identified. The Six Items or Less challenge started in New York in 2006….
So no, minimalism isn‘t dead. It‘s ongoing, whether on YT or elsewhere, and from my (older) pov there are indeed more people concentrating on the essentials of life, people, not things.
Yes, I know it has been around for much longer as people think it is comparative with stoicism too. Alluding to the point that the ancient Greeks were minimalists. I started by saying ‘trending’ as in it had TH-cam ‘virality’ in 2017. Even though it had been discussed before online. My opinion was that it peaked online in 2017. But from a content creators perspective, content about it was on the decline for the time being. I’m very much talking about its presence on TH-cam & the subject matter about it on TH-cam throughout.
🌞my minimalist journey is now 3 years and I made it to comfortable place but journey isn't over.looking forward to see where you are moving too
Thank You ☺️ ☀️ So am I 😂 We have no definite plans yet. The idea is to explore and decide. We’ve seen very affordable cabins in Sweden, Norway, USA & Canada. So we are keeping our minds & hearts open 😊
While doing dishes and listening to this, I didn't expect the random pause at 4:00 and stared blankly at my phone to the right of me, just like you did 😂
15:19 I so agree with this. I had way more stuff than you and don't considered myself a minimalist yet (there are categories I am definitely an extreme minimalist tho!) When we were between homes, 95% of my family's possessions were in storage. The rest we had with us were in duffel bags and a few crates. Then when we release the kraken, omg, I was not able to manage when all those stuff coming back in my life. It was stressful living in a small apartment moving boxes around just to find or get what I need. But I feel so good, now my son is in summer break, I could really focus on decluttering. I already made 3 trips to the thrift stores with a full trunkload of stuff, but I still look around and still overwhelmed with things. So it is still a journey! I just want to get to the point where I am close to living with how minimal I used to live when I was in between homes.
Thanks for your response in another of your previous videos. I got the courage to declutter the to-be-read book pile. I was also encouraged to switch out my everyday purse thanks to your bum bag videos. 🙂 I am loving living lighter.
Brilliant 🤩 😊 thank you ☺️
The trend of minimalism might be dying but for those of us who've always lived like this, or those who've found out how wonderful it can be, we'll just shrug, smile and carry on with our lovely simple lives! ❤
Yes 🙌 ❤️
I will never ever stop being a minimalist. A lifestyle can't be 'dead' as it isn't and shouldn't be a trend that goes in and out of fashion (although minimalist aesthetic might change over time but I feel that's different as people who adopt the aesthetic aren't always minimalists but just like the look). Ultimately, minimalism is a lifestyle that strips life back to what is important/essential to you and once adopted it eventually extends far beyond physical stuff to every area of your life. That said, minimalism for some people can certainly end up as just a label for the ego to cling to and to get clicks or shares on the internet, same as any other label or identity.
P.s love your videos as I'm really into extreme minimalism, and I'm also from the UK :)
Maybe that is another reason some people consider it dead. Yes, the people who are adopting it as an aesthetic or as a trend they have seen. Good addition to the discussion 😊 thank you ☺️
I am an extreme minimalist but I am definitely the anomaly you mentioned, I do a lot of one-in-one-out 😂 having ADHD and autism makes it hard for me to be “satisfied” causing what has recently been termed obsessive compulsive spartanism (which is a disorder that involves hoarding and realizing the hoarding and subsequently decluttering drastically). I always feel guilty because it feels like I’m defeating the whole purpose of minimalism when I do this. But I have learned to try to be kind to myself and do my best to really analyze what is bothering me about what I have and if it really needs replacing. I’ve been a one-bagger for a long time now but I’ve gone back and forth between different sized “one bag” 🤣 Finally feeling content with one tote maximum but currently on the bum bag train as well! Thank you so much for these thought provoking videos my friend, they are so so so helpful and validating as well ❤
If you have a condition that is a rationale for why you do this rather than a need to overconsume I don’t think you can include yourself. 😊 Some people I think simply want to continue to buy, and upgrade what they already have with not very valid reasons. Other than they just want the latest new thing. Some are at least able to let go of some stuff to make way for these new things. By casting the older things aside. Maybe simply for less clutter but also maybe because the old thing lost value to them. Now there is a new trend or edition. What you are describing sounds like a consequence. Not something you actually want. Be kind to yourself. 😊 ❤️
Theres only so much to say about minimalism because its ... minimalism. 😅 my husband and I will never go back to the way we lived before minimalism, but he doesnt watch minimalist content at all and i watch it very intermittently. But im glad I found you! 😊
Thank you ☺️
I agree its very hard to imagine living with so much stuff all the time. Im a sewist and sewists creating content are really maximalist. The massive fabric stashes, walls of drawers and bins filled with notions and fabric, its overwhelming to me. I keep my sewing stuff very minimalist. It fits in 2 shoeboxes, and my pattern paper rolls and long tools are in an umbrella stand in a closet. Otherwise, i buy for each project.
Thank you ☺️
I often listen to youtube videos while going about my daily routine, I'm so glad I decided to watch this one with the screen on, Casper was very entertaining!
😂 😂 thank you 👻
Every time I try to film, the neighbours downstairs decide to shout and you can always hear word for word on camera, ick
It’s frustrating isn’t it 😂 I’ve started trying to film really early before it gets as noisy. I hate to think how people in places like New York get on with constant police sirens and things. I’ve heard several video creators saying it’s unbelievable. Like every 30 seconds so they just have to try talk over it. 😊 Sometimes it makes me not be able to hear myself think though 😂
🌞as always love your content and questions.
Motivating and thought provoking.
Thank You ☺️ ☀️
Wow, did you see that sunlight shining in the corner at the very end of this video?? I would LOVE to see you start doing videos helping others declutter. Could do like other content creators who do it for free...as long as they're ok to be filmed! I'm pretty minimal-ish...but wish I lived in a locale where you'd be and could be offered such a thing!
Yes 🙌 absolutely I get to film & they get to have a minimalist Clutterfree home. I already have 2 friends who have volunteered 😊 🎥
I think the greatest benefit for society is that if minimalism and decluttering is talked about it will start a change in attitudes that will change our society in the now and in the future. It is in some way like the vegan movement and lifestyle. When I started my vegan journey I would get a piece of cucumber and a tomato slice to eat in a restaurant (as the main meal). Now there are many options. That doesn’t mean many people are vegans, but it helped change society.
Yes topical discussions about things are always useful to raise awareness 😊
🌞
Thank you ☺️ ☀️
Minimalism is not dead, I love watching your videos and seeing how minimal your home is, I would love a home like that but the trouble is many people dont understand how clutter is a constant chore, always having to sort, clean, tidy and make space for more and more is so stressful. Other people dont always get that and want to get more and then people constantly trying to declutter and explain how it affects them get drained and exhausted of trying and feel like they have no choice but to accept some extra things in their home that they know they dont need or want. Minimalism is not dead but consuming is contagious.
Yes very good point. There is a social pressure to consume isn’t there. Also like a keeping up with the jones mentality. Which I suppose it’s why it’s so important our mindset changes too 😊
Well said.😊I think as a red hot trend it's petering out/dying; but as a lifestyle choice for us, it's alive and well.
I love your comments Trekkie Cat 🙌 always supportive. BTW - does your online name mean Star Trek? Or something to do with cats 🐈 😊 either way I love both 😂 🙌
@@SagelifeMinimalism thankyou! I'm a Trekkie (Star Trek fan) who loves cats! My real name is Fiona.
@@trekkie-cat oh brilliant - I love Star Trek too… my mum is a real Trekkie and always loves to say to me live long & prosper 🖖 do you prefer the films or series? Little fact. Patrick Stewart is from the area I grew up. He use to go to the same cinema I went to as a child. But as I also love William Shatner my favourite Star Trek movie is the one where they are both in it. On the nexus 😊 Star Trek: Next Generations. Although I love Star Trek 4 with the whales 🐋 Leanord Nimoy is so Funny in that. I think the themes of the movies reflect a lot of key philosophical issues. Like ‘the needs of the many’ etc 😊 🙌
You inspire me so much to release more and more things even though I didn't think it was possible to get further down in number. Thank you🥰We also have 🌞in Denmark😀
Thank you 😊 ☀️
i love your fresh outlook. It is a very personal journey! I think there are silent and multi generations of people who are making the changes. I'm 66 yrs old and I have experienced many waves during my seasons of life. I am on a donate all I can so that may children and grandchildren do not have to deal with my bad choices or sentimentalism that has nothing to do with their lives.
☺️ Thank you…very selfless of you 😊 🕊️
I am on the same journey but still have a way to go. I want to travel extremely light full time. I find you content inspiring, not just the decluttering but how you are living with less now and most importantly your thought process for deciding what goes next. Watching you decluttering in layers and living with it for a while then making a final decision, has helped me tremendously. Part of my struggle is what do I keep for now vs what I will need when I travel. I never realized how many little things I owned. I just keep mimicking your process and have made good progress. Thank you for your content. 🌞
Thank You ☺️ that is lovely to know. Yes I feel it’s nice to let things settle for a while and see what works. What to declutter next then comes intuitively some how. ☀️ 😊
I believe minimalist/maximalist is a personality trait, just like introvert/extrovert. It's not black an white either, it's all a grey scale. 🌞
☀️ 😊
Minimalism isn´t dead i love it and it makes my home very peaceful and makes cleaning so much easier i´ll never quit minimalism
According to The Minimalists, minimalism is a reaction to decades of affluence and hyper-consumerism. We are drowning in stuff! But in times of economic hardship, people will be less inclined to downsize what they have. If things get really unstable, they may instead stock up and become preppers. Perhaps this accounts for the waning interest in minimalism videos. Or maybe minimalism has outgrown its focus on material 'stuff' and might instead focus on inner minimalism, and the minimalist cultural movements in poetry (haiku), art and music. Less clutter for the mind, perhaps. Which is what I like about your channel, it's about more than just counting socks! 😀
This is brilliant 🤩 yes along the lines of thought I am having too. Ironically I tried writing some haiku’s on my TH-cam shorts along with some tanka. Very few people were interested 😂 🙄 maybe I’ll save it for somewhere else 😂 🕊️here it is ⬇️ A Peaceful Minimalist Haiku Poem| MINIMALISM #minimalist #poetry #zen

@@SagelifeMinimalism Too bad your haiku didn't get more views. Perhaps shorts get less attention overall. Social media can get quite clamorous and drown out quiet reflective moments.
I’d love to follow your other channel when you are ready. But I enjoy this channel also for your journey so far.❤
Thank you ❤️
I think the minimalism for a person is a way of being and not a trend or a fashion, so I believe that it is not something that goes through periods, I am a minimalist and I don't think that I will change according to the various trends. 😊
Good 😊
I can't find a sun emoji on my Tablet! Love your content, I find it inspirational, when I find a TH-cam channel I like (like yours) I make my way through all their past episodes x
Thank You very much that is lovely ☺️ x
That's their opinion. Minimalism is forever.😂❤
🙌 🙌 😊
Good video, I love minimalism! 🌞

Ok, so I’m a minimalist by heart, so no, I’m not going to turn into something else, like a maximalist! I love being minimal in what I own. Why would I want to clutter up my life with junk. No thanks! Minimalism is not a trend for me, it’s a lifestyle that I’ve chosen & feel comfortable with.
I think maybe you didn’t watch the whole video? 🤔 As this is not what the video is saying? I’m discussing the lack of minimalist video makers and how minimalist content could come to an end if we think it is only about decluttering? I actually go on to say minimalism is not dead. And will not come to an end for those who think it is about more than decluttering and just the stuff. And at no point did I mention an end to minimalist content meaning the reintroduction of tons of stuff? Rather the converse, that for some people their journey of making content about minimalism ends once they have decluttered all their stuff. Not that they reintroduce things to become a maximalist. It ends, because they have no more stuff to declutter- unless they continually buy more to declutter further. Which again, I elaborate, decluttering alone is not minimalism ✌️
