Anti-modern strategies

Wanted to clarify the strategy against those annoying modern defenses. Initial strategy I tried was "castle opposite then pawn storm", but it wasn't working well. Then somewhere else I've heard about other approach: developing slowly, keeping good control over bigger territory and eventually outmaneuvering. 

I've tried the latter approach yesterday and it seemed to work overall well, however I'm still highly unsure if that's the thing I should be doing and I didn't just get lucky.
