*Minimal: A word that has gone out of favor, or a sound that has gone out of favor?

Minimal wasn't even minimal at the end, so it was a word for something else, whatever it was. The real minimal tracks were on labels like Studio One, Profan, Axis and so on. This kind of music I would still call minimal, because it definitely is. But that is the problem with people naming trends: Most of the time the names don't suit the trend.
