MCM is this permanent? Am I the only one who hates it?

[Anonymous]

I just don’t see the appeal-at all. So is this is a fad or is the whole mcm craze here to stay?

Loved by architects, hated by everyone else

All styles fade after a time.

Mid-century modern?
Lots of people like it because of its clean lines and un-fussiness. I can see why they do, although I prefer Louis XV furniture myself

You realize that mid-century refers to *last* century, right? So no, it's not a fad.

[Anonymous]

I hate it too.

Sorry PP but I don't like that fussy French stuff either.

It is very clearly used to describe 1950's-60s style furniture/decorating etc.. Mid century(half a century being 100) so yeah 1950. Good try though.

I like this style. Ideally with a tiled fireplace, lots of pretty wood trim, stained glass, and inlay floors.

My house itself is mcm but my furniture is not, for the most part. But it was a very stylish era.

I love MCM, but none of these look even remotely like it.

Yes, that is my point. It's been around since the 1950s. Therefore, it is not a fad. No idea what "good try though" is supposed to mean here, but I can't understand how you thought reiterating my comment was refuting it either.

If you don't like it or want to use it, then what is your concern here?
