Millennials are killing or have already killed these wonderful traditional American things. Note that I included only those things that I felt were being discarded due to Millennials’ choices & non-usage rather than things that are being supplanted by technology, such as newspapers & landline phones, both of which are shunned by Millennials, but they aren’t dying because of Millennials — they simply have been replaced by advances in technology, which are the internet & smartphones respectively:
> Any TV show that isn’t reality-based
> Full-service restaurants, both casual & fine
> Bookstores
> Mens suit stores
> Bars (they “entertain” at home)
> Non-Fantasy-based movies
> The housing market, both new & pre-existing homes
> The pool of unskilled & technically-skilled blue-collar labor
> Premium anything (that isn’t a waste of money)
> Desktop computers (they use their smartphones only)
> Beer, or at least non-flavored pilsner beer, like Bud, Miller, Coors, etc
> Diamonds & other expensive jewelry
> Bars of Soap
> Golf
> Department Stores
I got the last 5 from an article I read on Inc.com & it inspired me to add to that list as I did here.
