Web brutalism means:

?

@gaditb I voted the second option, but I would probably narrow it to "one stylesheet, probably written by hand (i.e. not Bootstrap or whatever, though a reset may be acceptable), with at most a trivial number of classes, probably no ID-specific rules".

Follow

@aschmitz @gaditb i think “no CSS selectors other than bare element selectors (perhaps with qualifiers like :hover)” is an interesting constraint i could get behind (altho i think it is also very possible to make websites which are definitely NOT brutalist within that constraint)

@Lady @gaditb Sure, and of course in theory you can do arbitrary element names in lieu of IDs. I think it's neither necessary nor sufficient, but I would hazard a guess that I'd say most(?) websites that met that spec were at least brutalist-adjacent these days.
