As a minimalist myself, yeah but it depends what you mean by minimalism. To me, minimalism is buying the bare minimum, nothing too fancy and saving money that way instead of indulging in luxuries or unnecessary treats or whatever. It's basically just owning less and saving money while doing it.

Companies being like "yes we are gonna sell you minimalism" using aesthetics or specific "minimalist" marketing is not minimalism, it's just a trap for trend chasers.
