          1. Here’s a tip: if you were planning on writing a piece that includes the words “Why”, “Millennials”, and a question mark? Don’t.

          Same goes for the phrase “Millennials are ruining the ________ industry”.

        First of all, millennials aren’t legion. (just like women aren’t, black people aren’t, latin@s aren’t, etc)

      But second of all, many of those pieces could probably be replaced by “millennials were screwed by banks behaving badly; have less money.”

    obviously that’s an oversimplification—millennials were screwed by a *lot* of things that boomers did. that one’s really easy though.

      “Millennials are ruining the paper napkin industry!” paper napkins are an expense and honestly a luxury. So… pragmatism wins the day?

        “Millennials are killing the diamond industry!” diamonds are expensive. oh also so is food in 2016, so, priorities.

          “Millennials never take vacations!” with what PTO? And what savings?
          1. …in reply to @gesa
            Millennials gotta hustle just to stay in a job, and especially since boomers got that “kids don’t work hard enough” attitude, no time off.

              I’m gonna end this rant with sheepishly linking to a tweet I just realized could have saved me eight. @falchionpunch/768210664183791617

                (rant courtesy of @SaraLang tweeting @TheAtlantic’s “Why do Millennials hate groceries?” piece which wouldn’t be that bad but for the title)
