The Trend Trap

[Micah Ryans]

Everyone's chasing the same bento grid, glassmorphism, AI-generated aesthetic in 2026 and clients are starting to notice everything looks identical.

Is originality dead or just expensive?

chasing the same bento grid, glassmorphism

What does these fancy words mean? I'm a noob

If they describe a clanker image, then I already know what they mean. lol

originality isn't dead, it just takes more time, more thinking, and clients willing to pay for it

yes recently every one use same effects for video and also in design get same ai picture. its also because less time taking or less thinking and designer don't need to explore the design

originality isn't dead, people are just lazy lol. it's way easier to grab a figma template with bento grids and call it a day than actually think about what fits the brand. the real problem is clients want "modern" but what they mean is "make it look like that other site i saw"
