There has been far too much stuff about minimalism on Cult of Mac recently, and it’s time we had a revolution.

Break free from the minimalist yoke! Fill your desktops with downloaded files! Abandon disk images and .pkg files all over it, strewn haphazardly among a mess of screenshots and torrents and clippings.

Delete your “everything boxes”. Trash Yothinkbo, Devonjim, Notational Tindernote and all the rest. Allow their contents to spill out across your desktop. Buy an external monitor if you don’t have enough desktop space to fill.

Follow the examples of these fine practitioners of the art of Unminimalism.

So, are you inspired to abandon your minimalist ways and follow the Path of Cluttersome Destiny? Have you always been a member of the Church of Mess? Can your desktop clutter beat any of the ones we’ve featured? Let us know in the comments.
