Lol this is not Memphis, which is an art movement from the 80s. "Corporate Memphis" is new term to describe the over-the-top illustrated landing pages which are very common in modern web design.

It seems you are conflating "Memphis" from modern web design. What we see on the Laws of UX cards is geometric abstraction.

Hmm are you sure? google "memphis style symbols" and let me know if you see any similarities.

It's like saying Apple is not Bauhaus.

Googling “memphis style symbols” gives no useful results, just poorly made stock art. The design of the site is not at all akin to the Memphis Group, which is characterized by a sense of whimsy and lack of gravity, clashing colors and dazzling patterns.

Regarding neumorphism, I’d bet that will be much like the “long shadow” trend of yore; an interesting style that is hyped until, a short time after, the appeal of the newness and uniqueness wears off completely.
