It's here and it's basically the brutalism of the web, see Craigslist or the Drudge Report, or just look at Hacker News. These are not "web 2.0" designed but they are easy to use and well organized.
Except that Hacker News website is just dumb, lacks a ton of functionality and gets very basic design wrong. Have you looked at that upvote button? Is this a website for ants?
Hopefully someday a "lean webpages" movement appears.
