But rather than nitpick, I just wanted to say that I find the current “style maximalism” to be quite fascinating. That was always the promise of globalization to me: the juxtaposition and mixing of aesthetic and cultural traditions. Of course you will sometimes get Trump’s gaudy excess, but that’s more of a comment on his lack of taste than an argument against the baroque in itself.
Edit: For an everyday example of what I'm referring to: compare the original Blade Runner (1982) to the sequel (2017). The first film is far more baroque, dusty, maximalist, and messy - and it lends the film a real sense of atmosphere and authenticity. This scene is a good example [1]: it's raining, there are neon lights everywhere, the characters are speaking in a hodgepodge of numerous languages including Hungarian, Japanese, and German. Later in the movie, you have a variety of bizarre characters, androids, robot dolls, and city environments.
Then, compare a similar scene in the new film, 2049.[2] Its style and atmosphere are far more minimal, modernist, and simplified. It feels a little too sterile, too clean for a post-apocalyptic city with hundreds of millions of people. The rest of the film follows suit: the abandoned locations don't seem that abandoned and the characters are all pretty straightforward. It is nowhere near as strange of a film as the first one is.
