That style is called "Broken." Some of the Broken School's common themes are:
* Jarring headlines that use "..." when inconvenient content doesn't fit the designer's expectations
* Using an open layout that looks socially interactive or personalizable but completely lacks social interactivity or personalization
* Closely related to the above: the ability to create a free account with no apparent motivation for doing so.
The Broken School evolves every 7 years or so. The current consensus is that this is Broken 2.0.
