To late us millennials already claimed that. Pretty sure we killed restaurants around the same time we killed movie theaters, trade schools, and domestic beer.
Yeah some places have gotten better and can be a pretty good deal. I’ll do olive garden and they give you a salad and bread sticks with your entree, do carry out and have 2-3 meals for about $20 depending on what you get. Just have to have the right expectations.
Domestic beer?! If there is one impressive thing millennials have accomplished so far, it’s putting a brewery in every neighborhood of every major city in the western world. Locally brewed beer has been having a really good couple of decades.
Hot take, Coors Light is better than the thousands of IPAs that seemingly occupy 95% of the craft beer market. Also, and maybe this is less controversial, I can get 36 cans of Coors Light for the price of 12 IPAs, and my mouth will be happier with each can of the Coors. Honestly, beer is a rental anyway, why drink IPA when there are Belgian ales, pilsners, and cervezas?
I actually don’t get the criticism of the generic domestic beers like Budweiser, Coors, Miller, etc. They don’t taste bad at all, are actually drinkable, and have a higher ABV than anything outside of a hard cider or an IPA. If someone put a craft IPA and a can of Bud Light in front of me and asked me to pick one, I’d take the Bud every time because at least I will enjoy it more than trying to choke down the bitter craft brew.
While it’s true that IPAs are most common, there are plenty of choices, especially at this time of year when everyone makes a Marzen, then a pumpkin, then a holiday ale. One of the reasons I like my local brewery is the variety of styles they make
I don’t know if Millennials get credit for that. The legislation allowing it was signed by Jimmy Carter before these kids were born, and us X’ers did a lot more to get the industry established
The author of this article, specifically, Chloe Berger, is in her twenties. Maybe early thirties. The youngest Baby Boomers are in their late sixties. They aren’t, generally speaking, working anymore. Pretty soon you’re gonna have to find a new age group to be your boogeyman. I assume it’ll be Gen X.
If you’d only bought fewer iPhones and avocados you could have bought a 5 bedroom house with 3 garages, a pool and a white picket fence and take a holiday abroad twice a year. You just need more discipline, pull yourself up by the bootstraps*!

Domestic is typically classified as beer like Budwiser and Miller. You’re describing craft beer which as you said it’s doing great… For IPAs
gonna be honest “domestic” beer deserves to die

Because I like IPAs more? I’ll fully admit that the market is way over saturated with the style, but people do still enjoy them.

As an Australian i support this position. In the US market.
It’s the only legal way to kill ourselves and it tastes better than smoking.
As long as you like IPAs

In my fridge right now
I know this - my husband is actually a small batch brewer himself - but IPAs very much dominate the market, which is what i was poking fun at

Well we killed chain restaurants… Mainly because nobody can afford to waste our money on microwave crap when we can make better food at home
Well yeah, but they’ll move on from millennials at some point! Soon everything will be gen z’s fault!
Gen z killed " millennials killed" articles
What will the lazy boomer authors do now? Won’t someone think of them?

Fair enough, it’s just a stupid take then.
Or maybe I call out Zoomers and make them my boogie man. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do 😁
Or you could hate people for their actions and not for how old they are. Your call.
