Trend styles that fight legibility

Both styles make sufficient contrast and clear hierarchy structurally difficult — neumorphism in particular defines every element with shadow alone, which fails at 3:1 almost by construction. Trend styles also age badly: the more of them a product carries, the more precisely it is dated. Minimal styling that foregrounds content lasts longer. Experiment freely — but not where it costs legibility or excludes people. Everywhere is its own failure. A frosted panel over a video is a layering decision; frosted cards, a frosted nav, frosted buttons and glowing glass borders on a flat page are decoration applied to everything, and they solve no layering problem at all.
