 The official term for this kind of thing is crapification
Not sure why it isn't more widely known

I know this is hardly new, but fashion exploiting the "look" of the impoverished.

Like hosed up jeans. Man the kind of jeans you have to pay extra for nowadays are the same types of jeans I used to get beat up for wearing to school. Back in those days I wore hosed up jeans because we couldn't afford JC Penny's fancy fuckin 17 dollar pairs of jeans oohhweeee
Yeah the early 2000s were weird about jeans
Pre-ruined baggy jeans and then some guys were wearing flared jeans that were disturbingly close to bell-bottoms, which was at the time grosser than tight jeans would be 5 years later

I hate to repeat myself but am I the only who saw this? Like a day or 2 ago it was usual google maps, now it's been modern-UI'd, with all that entails. There's also a bar on the left side that's empty except for a hamburger at the top.

No change here. Clear your cache and reload, sounds broken.
It's not a cache thing, they replaced the background color on the default view with a background loosely based on the vegetation from the satellite view. They did this today -- for me at least. I did several google searches before I posted that for "google maps is now unusable" to see if others were seeing it... now I just pulled up maps again and it's reverted. It's like they experimented with just my account. That is fascinating.
