Someone Rounded Up All The Industries Millennials Are ‘Killing,’ And Here’s How Millennials Responded
Millennials have stopped spending money on houses, motorcycles, and dates at expensive restaurants, and the world is falling apart because of it.
After decades of comfortable income, the hard-working CEOs of countless major industries are suffering serious losses due to a disturbing rise in social consciousness and financial awareness among today’s young adults. A shocking wave of reports by Business Insider shows a direct connection between the shameless frugality of millennials, and the slow decline of vital industries such as golf, napkins, and Buffalo Wild Wings. They’re even refusing credit cards now. Don’t they know debt is just a part of life?
Society as we know it is crumbling at our feet, and all these morally depraved hipsters can do is gripe about ‘living wages’ and ‘local businesses.’ Why can’t they just be good little spenders like their parents were? For the companies these heathens are selfishly dismantling, there’s nothing left to do but desperately market the products they’ve always sold, and hope that someday soon, the millennials will come back to the light.
And how did these ‘killer’ millennials respond to it all?

Who cares? Millennials are killing golf? So what? Millennials aren't buy diamonds? (I read that elsewhere) That's probably for the best. Why are we worried about wing restaurants closing?
My thoughts, why we make such unimportant things to a big problem in our lives?
Load More Replies...If Baby Boomers are guilty of killing all these businesses, and more, then the blame should go to the ones who beget, and raised them. Can you guess which generation that was?
Oops, I screwed up. I meant "If Millenials are guilty of...". And I gave away the correct answer. My Bad. 😞
Load More Replies...Baby Boomers killed Mom & Pop Shops to bring in large corp stores (go into any city and you will be surrounded by the same 20 store that you have in your own town, it's sad). Millennials are bringing small business and skilled crafts back... Each generation does things differently than the last and I'm sure the Millennials will blame the kids that come after us for something.
They complain that we don't spend enough, and then complain when we want decent wages.
Just the phrase "Group XYZ is killing industry ABC" is utterly stupid. At least in market economies people do not kill industries. Rather, only those industries survive that keep on reinventing. And this good, for it secures grow in welfare for all through technological progress. I am pretty much fed up with whining CEOs. It always is the same. 1st step: "This Tesla/Uber/Amazon/Napster/you name it is ridiculous. People will always need fuel-based cars/own cars/bookstores/CDs/you name it. We do not need to change because some stupid startup has stupid ideas for hipsters." 2nd: "Uh oh they make business, sue them! We have the patents, we have the lawyers!" 3rd: "Uh oh they get serious market share. Regulators, help us! This is...not right! We were always big!" 4th: "We get out of business! Who could have known! Now think of the stockholders...erm...well, all the poor employees that we exploited...erm, I mean we now sadly need to fire them because we did not see the evil tide of economy!"
Hubris is the only matching term for these CEOS, and for the "journalists" reporting on these issues as well.
Load More Replies...As a Gen-X marketing consultant for small businesses, this post just made my day! The Millennial response is SO on target - our economy is completely messed up right now and Baby Boomer-led corporations refuse to recognize their role in that. No matter how hard things get, just remember, people are more powerful than money.
Well said! We are suffering from our elders' mistakes right now. It takes time to turn business around/nothing great happens overnight.
Load More Replies...So funny. It's not like we're paid enough or, you know, can afford these luxuries along with our college debt and rent/mortgage. You can tell me that we're killing these industries, sure, but how about you actually do something about it - such as pay us a realistic amount? Not expect 10 years of experience for a 23 year old? Consider college debt?
Most of these problems aren't new, but if something changed within the last two decades, it is the opportunity to learn new skills. People who will enter workforce in the next few years were born in the world (let's limit the issue to the US for now) where virtually everyone has access to new technologies and can learn to use it very early. Roughly 50 years ago programmers had to go to the university to learn practical programming. People born at the beginning of this century most likely have the access to the computer and more tutorials and training material than they could possibly read throughout their life, not to mention the possibility of real-time communication and collaboration with people over the world that facilitate learning. Seriously - half a century ago a vision of 20-years old programmer with notable portfolio was laughable, today people around 20 are creating state-of-the art games and utilities. Things change.

Milenials are killing golf? I can't imagine how golf still exist. It's SO BORING!!!
That too. I graduated college in the heart of the recession (2009) and barely recovered. That's why all my disposable income goes into savings. I don't trust the economic instability enough to spend it!
Load More Replies...wow! business insider (and NOT the millennials) seems to be the "triggered snowflakes"... kinda pathetic.
My 60yrs old boss called me a 'typical millenial'. Not in a good way. I didn't follow 9to5 rule. She forgot about all the weekends I worked.
Please. The world constantly changes.and various industries dieing are result of that. The enormous ammount of debt , student loans, rent ,is the reason why people choose on what to spend and its their right. They shove all kinda commercial c**p up peoplea throat and are unhappy because their future? Well our future is uncertain too because were in debt long before 30.
What about it? The only thing that remains constant is constant change.
I thought corporate america loved "The Free Market". Now they're whining because a generation with greater freedom won't consume their mass produced beer and mediocre chain restaurants. WAHHHHHHHHH no fair!!!!!
The lack of good and affordable options simply makes room for Blue Apron and skilled cooking instructors to thrive. You're right- absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Load More Replies...I love the article ~ hilarious and truthful all at once. Maybe millennials will save the world after all. I'm glad they are responsible, aware, and consider their actions in the global context. Do we really need another buffalo wing eating, motorcycle riding, napkin using person? Really??
I approve of this contribution! Makes me want to buy a cloth napkin, and ride my non-motorcycle vehicle to the nearest Whole Foods so I can cook my own dinner and kill off a beer and a few local chain restaurants. Maybe I could single handedly kill smoking and the pet toy industry while I'm at it. Worked in real estate before I entered foreclosure law, so I've spent the last 11 years killing the housing market.

Fellow Millenials, let's save the world by killing the industries! Fossil fuels, animal agriculture, processed food, chemical pesticides, plastic, disposable goods, pharmaceuticals, and so on. We're the one's who need to keep this place up and running.

"due to a disturbing rise in social consciousness and financial awareness among today’s young adults" ---- yyyeaaahhh, no, it's because millennials aren't being paid enough. Prices have risen, salaries haven't kept up.

"Millennials are Killing The Golf Industry" Heh, every cloud has a silver lining
Thank you Millenials. My generation (Boomers) are not only totally screwed up but raised you. How youturned out so well balanced is a mystery to me
The Millennial's aren't "killing" any industry. The various industries are doing that to themselves. If I were in this age group I'd go to a dinner for lunch over Wendy's.
Like almost all "social" problems, the problem (and solution) isn't as simple as those who are Pro or Con on an issue would have others believe. Besides the notion of entitlement that's been increasing with every generation born since the 1950's, personal responsibility has been declining in equal measure. Millennials (along with Gen X, Y, and Z) are no more responsible for the decline of any business (or industry) than previous generations are for the economic conditions younger generations live with now. Both are consequences of the same thing. It's the economy. Technological progress changes it and politicians mess with it. Some (Sanders, Hillary, Trump, et al.) ignorantly, foolishly, and/or naively think you can have a controlled (in some form or another) economy without negative consequences. History (U.S.S.R., PRoC, eastern European nations) shows otherwise.
a causal look into the issue of 'killing ...' etc is notably 99% filled with unrealistic 'damage control' articles written usually by the those who feel threatened. that 'look' into this is because being empathetic I totally can understand how abuse of the subject could unfairly place blame... but it can also unfairly defend shortcomings of said generation. But again if there is any fair complaints, they are buried by the 'clever'. I am guessing that some of them will eventually get to enjoy the same disconnect when they are older with newer generations that are 'clever' and crafty etc. That said I don't wish anything unhappy or unfun on anyone
Don't feel bad guys. My generation killed off McDonalds French fries and Drive in movies. Man, I miss good fries.
millennials are even f*****g your step-mom stop complaining about your flaws
'Killing businesses and industries' is more commonly called 'free market economy'. Nothing is given there and the prosperity of the businessmen depends on the will of the customer to buy from him and not from the competition. And because it is _free_ market, then in the place of a company that went bankrupt another one will emerge. It is funny how businesses defending free market are now the first to criticize its basic tenets :) Previous generation killed the videotape industry, buried 8-bit computers industry, maimed landline telecommunication (in Europe at least) and inflicted a grievous bodily harm to the telemarketing and teleshopping. And you know what? I'm glad we did it (and doing it still, as people born in the 70's are now developing new technologies). Industrious people adapt to these changes, those less capable of doing business must leave the stage. This is how the free market operates.
okay come on now like when is it ever the adult's faults because first off they drink too and as well as use napkins and eat chicken wings and do all those things
good lord, that .... that i did NOT proof-read that post before I POSTED it?

yes exactly allison G.... we millennial are creating our "world" that isn't an exactly replica of prior generations..... and in 20, 40, and 60 years, we millennial will watch newer generations alter "our" world with their generation's characteristics. ............................................... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and honestly, didn't the baby boomers continually p**s off their parents' generation? and theirs before them? One hundred years ago, middle aged generation saw women cutting their hair short, playing golf, and wearing pants and that the world was going to end. It didn't end.... it's just vastly different.... The ONLY constant is CHANGE. Quit complaining, older generations. We'll get our comeuppance with the next generation changing things. Chill.
Millennials aren't the problem. Entitled Boomers are: https://roguemillennials.org/2017/06/09/the-entitled-generation/
People are free to spend their money wherever they want. That's the beauty of capitalism. Why shouldn't they have that freedom? Companies need to adapt to consumers, not the other way around.
While us millennials are on a killing spree can we finally kill off s****y listacle sites that offer absolutely no substance? Im doing my part with some of that good good, adblock action.
I don't know about Millennials, I'm officially a few months too old to be a baby boomer. I do have 2 daughters, a gen x and y. They've never been too interested in new and more and bright and shiny. I've probably learned more from them about what's important than they ever did from me.

Oh noes, market forces are changing with technology and companies are being forced to adapt or go out of business. THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE GUYZ.
Millennials are broke and/or being less frivolous and less wasteful and spending money on things that enrich their life experiences. Better hang them for it. Maybe Previous generations shouldn't have created an industry of consumerist wants vs needs. We're too busy with school loans for that c**p anyways lol
Considering Applebee's food is awful and only Cracker Barrel has worse food Millennials are doing God's work by killing them. Thank you, Millennials!
So are the people who write these articles even the least bit aware of how capitalism is supposed to work? Industries are supposed to die when they are no longer useful. Either adapt or die. Looks like were doing good work people keep it up.
GO ON! Lovely, lovely millenials. They'll be the saviours of this planet.
Well I'm a baby boomer and I don't go to expensive restaurants, drink beer, play golf or many of the things on this list. They are a different generation than my own - that does't make them bad people. They grew up in a different era than me and therefore see the world through different eyes. Not bad eyes - just different ones.
This makes me super proud. It means that Millenials have chose to be better than the past generation and it's truly affecting the market and economy. That is fantastic.
The younger half of the millennial crowd is still in college and possibly living with their parents or renting first apartments. However, I'm a 30-year-old divorcée with my own home, car, college degrees, 14+ years in the workforce, etc. Plenty of millennials are still buying homes, cars, getting married and having families, etc., they are just waiting until they are financially stable. Too many of us saw our parents (baby boomers) generation living outside their means. I'm a foreclosure paralegal and I see instances of older generations losing homes much faster. They are more likely to spend outside their means and take out larger, riskier loans. Each generation has something to learn from their elders, but much positivity comes from the young , as well.
so many stupid people, so so many, this isn't the new generation changing things, this is people in general in the market changing them. the market flows tech moves change happens if you think it's one group or another group you are completely wrong. people are all the same, deep deep down and you can see how they work with the system. The wheel will turn and my old cloths will become new cloths and the cycle will continue ps did you notice they are making clothing to last less long because of this? neat .. now if you all get smart and get your heads out of your asses I'll be super super happy..
All those correctly spelled headlines, and you still screwed up the URL for this article.
At 62, I am living like a millenial. No mortgage, no credit card, few fancy dinners, few retail purchases, no golf, no car payment, no fast food or chain restaurants, etc., etc. It's a better life.
Yea, Vanessa...because Millennials work in the "fake world." In my experience, as a Millennial, being promoted up through a company based on tenure is NOT how it works, anymore. Pay raises aren't nearly as common or as substantial as they once were. As the millennial generation is building their life, and growing their families...which they need more money to support, sometimes the only way to move up a level on the payscale is to move to a different company. The "career in one company, resulting in a nice pension for retirement" ideal just isn't reality anymore. Our generation has to be more creative in order to grow their resume and acquire more money. That's the "real world," today.

I don't know about Millennials, I'm officially a few months too old to be a baby boomer. I do have 2 daughters, a gen x and y. They've never been too interested in new and more and bright and shiny. I've probably learned more from them about what's important than they ever did from me.

Oh noes, market forces are changing with technology and companies are being forced to adapt or go out of business. THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE GUYZ.
Millennials are broke and/or being less frivolous and less wasteful and spending money on things that enrich their life experiences. Better hang them for it. Maybe Previous generations shouldn't have created an industry of consumerist wants vs needs. We're too busy with school loans for that c**p anyways lol
Considering Applebee's food is awful and only Cracker Barrel has worse food Millennials are doing God's work by killing them. Thank you, Millennials!
So are the people who write these articles even the least bit aware of how capitalism is supposed to work? Industries are supposed to die when they are no longer useful. Either adapt or die. Looks like were doing good work people keep it up.
GO ON! Lovely, lovely millenials. They'll be the saviours of this planet.
Well I'm a baby boomer and I don't go to expensive restaurants, drink beer, play golf or many of the things on this list. They are a different generation than my own - that does't make them bad people. They grew up in a different era than me and therefore see the world through different eyes. Not bad eyes - just different ones.
This makes me super proud. It means that Millenials have chose to be better than the past generation and it's truly affecting the market and economy. That is fantastic.
The younger half of the millennial crowd is still in college and possibly living with their parents or renting first apartments. However, I'm a 30-year-old divorcée with my own home, car, college degrees, 14+ years in the workforce, etc. Plenty of millennials are still buying homes, cars, getting married and having families, etc., they are just waiting until they are financially stable. Too many of us saw our parents (baby boomers) generation living outside their means. I'm a foreclosure paralegal and I see instances of older generations losing homes much faster. They are more likely to spend outside their means and take out larger, riskier loans. Each generation has something to learn from their elders, but much positivity comes from the young , as well.
so many stupid people, so so many, this isn't the new generation changing things, this is people in general in the market changing them. the market flows tech moves change happens if you think it's one group or another group you are completely wrong. people are all the same, deep deep down and you can see how they work with the system. The wheel will turn and my old cloths will become new cloths and the cycle will continue ps did you notice they are making clothing to last less long because of this? neat .. now if you all get smart and get your heads out of your asses I'll be super super happy..
All those correctly spelled headlines, and you still screwed up the URL for this article.
At 62, I am living like a millenial. No mortgage, no credit card, few fancy dinners, few retail purchases, no golf, no car payment, no fast food or chain restaurants, etc., etc. It's a better life.
Yea, Vanessa...because Millennials work in the "fake world." In my experience, as a Millennial, being promoted up through a company based on tenure is NOT how it works, anymore. Pay raises aren't nearly as common or as substantial as they once were. As the millennial generation is building their life, and growing their families...which they need more money to support, sometimes the only way to move up a level on the payscale is to move to a different company. The "career in one company, resulting in a nice pension for retirement" ideal just isn't reality anymore. Our generation has to be more creative in order to grow their resume and acquire more money. That's the "real world," today.
