I love cereal but I end up eating it more at night than in the morning. I'm in a rush in the mornings and a bowl of cereal ain't exactly something you can eat in a car (unless you are Dennis Reynolds) and if I have time to sit down and eat something before I leave, I prefer eggs.
Millennials are actually having less sex then prior generations.
Also dabbing stopped being cool last year.
What you call lazy I call efficient.

Beer is a weird one. I know a ton of craft beer snobs (being a bit of one myself). Maybe it's just macrobrews getting hurt?
With credit unions? That's how I bank!

The reason for any of these as to why "Milennials are killing X" is that we don't have money.

Oh come on! How do they expect us to afford those things after buying the latest iPhone.

I require a source for this information. I find it believable but I want a backing for this so I can share this fact with confidence.
Hey, I've been paying for a gym monthly for like three years now (even if I haven't gone in like nine months). Get up off my back, olds.

For a lot of these people it's not about being trendy, it's just that these 'trendy' areas also happen to be home to the better jobs; especially true for my line of work, as I'm looking at basically living in or near London when I graduate or working in the type of career I don't want.
Casual dining is awesome ):
I don't drink
Paper Towel is superior
Internet porn and $8 Pizza Hut wings
Homemade breakfast
I hope Golf survives
We can barely gets cars and insurance

The blurb about oil brought a huge smile to my face. That industry will follow the path of coal in the near future, so many of us already being aware of that truth is refreshing to see.

...Personally I like using fabric softener sheets. I can feel and smell the difference, or maybe I'm just lying to myself out of habit.
But yeah a lot of this is boiling down to an intersection of cost of living and quality awareness both going up, and functional wages staying fairly stagnant. People don't have tons of money to work with, so they want to be sure that what they're paying for is genuinely worthwhile.

We also killed the spread of HIV. By not having sex like they did in the 70s.

thank you good sir. It is pretty much as I expected it to be. Reminds me of the struggle going on in Japan. The smarter generation is producing less and less.
When many millenials are coming out of college with a mortgage of loans it's no wonder why we can't buy homes.......

If home ownership is down, shouldn't market prices reflect the reduction in demand?
The median affordable home price is ~160k in 2016, the average millenial can only afford ~140k:
They really need to stop phrasing it as "millennial reluctancy" and call it what it is, an unreasonable housing price bubble.

Bars and clubs have always been that way. For every one successful one there's 10 that shut down.

There can still be fewer people selling than buying if very few people are selling and investors are doing a lot of the buying.

The reason I don't go to Applebees has nothing to do with it being casual dining and everything to do with it being shitty food only availible in suburbs. If my family is in town I'll take them to dinner at the greek place down the street. The atmosphere and prices are about on par
This. It's super easy to work out at home if you're not buying some expensive equipment. Even if you are, it's way cheaper in the long term and you're not locked to the policies or stigma of a gym.

I mean all the others are fair enough but Bounce fabric softener sheets are mandatory for my laundry regimen.
40 yr old here:
Causal dining restaurants - No great loss
Beer - don't believe that for one second [at least in New England there is a new brewery making a quad-megahop-douple-IPA-heady-topper-9.8-style-beer every other day]
Napkins - Paper towels are better.
Cereal -You don't need a bowl of diabetes every morning.
Golf - 0 fucks given its not a sport
Motorcycles - aka death scooters
Homeownership- how are they killing an industry they are unable to participate in?
Yogurt, especially light yogurt - you don't need a cup of diabetes every morning
Banks - Credit unions are better
Department stores - Amazon is the far better option
Designer handbags - waste of money to keep your money in?
Gyms(Crossfit for the win, all you need is some dangerously heavy shit and rope) - You are not wrong. HIT and a weighed backpack is all you need.
Home improvement stores - If they can't buy a home, why would they need to go?
Football - FUCK THE NFL.
Fabric softener - its pointless so again no great loss.

Kind of surprised at all the hate for golf here, but I get it. It gets a rep for being an activity for curmudgeons.
I sincerely hope more young people pick up the game as the boomers age out (aka die), and appreciate the game and change the narrative. The barrier to entry isn't as expensive as people think, and places like Top Golf should help the game reach a younger audience.

Then Millennials will write articles how Gen Z are killing all of their favorite establishments.

This one is fucking weird. Who enjoys going to the bank? I don't go to the bank because nearly all the services are availible remotely
And nothing of value was lost.
Some guy on gaf chose it for me but I'm a big turtles fan. Lol.i swear I'm 22.
What? This is one place where having a physical location helps a ton, why is this good?
Every good size city has those buildings that have been like 32923 different clubs.
