Post Minimalism

Post-Minimalism emerged in the late 20th century as a cheeky response to the rigidity of its Minimalist predecessor, proving that if you throw in a bit of emotion and complexity, you can actually have a right good time without abandoning structure. It often sounds like someone cleverly fighting against the constraints of repetitive patterns, mixing lush harmonies and unexpected dynamics, all the while probably sipping a nice cup of tea. The genre has been said to reflect the complexities of modern life, but really, it just means its fans can nod knowingly as they hear an avant-garde piece that occasionally resembles a slightly chaotic kitchen sink drama.
