I'm inclined to say if that article/manifesto on brutalist design that hit the front page yesterday is even remotely authoritative then some of these sites are breaking what I assumed to be fundamental tenents of brutalist web design already.

Or have I overthought the joke? It's possible, I've done it before.

no i've been following this design style for about 6 months now, and its not something to be boiled down to that manifesto from yesterday. Its actually been a style for a while as seen in the intro for A Clockwork Orange ( https://vimeo.com/49553745 )

Its not a joke either. there are some big companies in that list I shared like Nike, Snapchat, Gucci, etc.

I recognized the style, it wasn't until said manifesto that I even learned it had a name. Or rather that I learned what the name was.

Would you say the manifesto is missing concepts and explanations of the style or are there inaccuracies and in your opinion what are they? You've got a captive audience in me on the affair, I'm not a designer but I oddly like the language of design and hearing specialists discuss it.
