Nice, the list is growing...Guys we need to come up with a new list of industries to destroy at our next Millennial meeting...come up with ideas and come prepared.

Well if the value of the dollar was anywhere near where it was like 15 years ago, and $20 bought me a cart full of groceries (like it did in about 1999 or so) rather than just a pack of chicken and a carton of milk (like it does now) maybe all milennials would dine out more often.

i've personally forgotten the fabric softener numerous times and have never noticed an actual difference.

A lot of those things are ripoffs.

What? I thought killing the Snuggie was a good idea! How was I supposed to know it was already dead?

Someone should just start writing articles about baby boomers destroying America whenever something bad happens.

Bar soap + washcloth = clean times. Also doesn't help a lot of liquid soap has some gel that I'm allergic to.

Its funny to me how many things tie into each other too..like Fabric Softener for example....the same companies that make fabric softener also make laundry detergent. They make "special" detergent that promises to keep clothes "fresher" and implies that fabric softener won't be needed as its all in one...

...Then when people see that prices of both products are going up, so they opt for the all in one instead of paying for 2 items, those companies blame the consumers...

$20 did not buy a cart of groceries in 1999.

Unless you're going to argue 10x inflation in 18 years...

I never buy fabric softener.

Actually 10x inflation is pretty accurate and if not then it's damn close.

It really is accurate. Yes, I do clearly remember being able to buy a whole hell of a lot more for $20 in 1999, and now I mean it when I say it gets me 2 items. Maybe "cart full" is a bad term, but the $20 bill had waaaay more value to the point where it's actually frightening.

Maybe not a cart but you could buy more stuff then

-Cereal
Instead, younger consumers are turning to convenient options with minimal cleanup that can be eaten on the go, from yogurt to fast-food breakfast sandwiches.

-Yogurt

Huh, maybe you should rethink that article.

- Cereal
- Homeownership

- Bars of soap

Only four that deserve preserving tbh.

I'm fucking telling you, the destruction of the carving messages into potatoes and mailing them to people industry would cause society to un-fucking-ravel
---

Mediocrity does not deserve my money.

Particularly in the case of casual dining places like Applebees, Breasturants, Banks, department stores, and diamonds

fucking fuck diamonds

that scam. hope that industry freaking dies.

That's awfully selfless of you.

- Diamonds

This is a very good thing.
---

Most of those need to die. The rest won't die, they'll just stop being as popular.
---

Those that use bar soap and share a shower with more than one person (besides a SO i guess)... do you guys have a bar of soap each or what? every time i see only one in a shower I just imagine everyone else cramming that very bar between their ass cheeks, armpits, and genitals and I'm just like no. i'll wash my hands with basin bar soap though. gel for lyfe.

I don't get why people rub the bar on their body directly anyway. I always rub the soap onto my hands and then lather up. You're gonna miss spots with an inflexible bar.
---

Well, maybe these things wouldn't be dying if they weren't worthless. Well, most of them are.
Also, we as a generation have way less disposable income because everyone thought it'd be a great idea to let lenders scam us and colleges price-gouge us.
Oh, and if IIRC, "real" wages(i.e. wages adjusted against inflation) have been stagnant for a little over 30 years now.

Not millenial, but I'd like to contribute to the list of things to destroy.

- Pop music
- Broadcast Television
- Starbucks
- SUVs
- Reality TV shows
- Store-bought juice

- SUVs

Generic-ass bars of soap can go. I've got shower gel for that. That specialty stuff with the perfumes and skin softener or the ones with the oatmeal, they can stay.
---

1. Because we don't have the disposable income to buy useless shit constantly

2. The internet has let us know that a lot of things are useless, immoral, or straight up scams. Like the diamond industry and it's fake monopoly. Also homeownership is not always a good financial decision depending on which area you live in and your lifestyle. I live in LA county there's no way I would even consider homeownership in the state of California. I'm not spending millions for a 2000 sq foot box somewhere.

Beer

i hate that this always makes the list, because it's pretty much always talking about miller, bud, and all those trashy beers

millenials love their microbrews

- RuPaul is single-handedly saving reality TV right now
- Pop music is mostly trash, that said there's at least a couple bomb albums a year. And then there's Carly Rae Jepsen's "Emotion" which pretty much re-affirms the thesis of pop music from 80's synthpop to now.
- I don't know what your beef is with store-bought juice.

all those things suck anyway

except maybe yogurt

First they kill yogurt. Then they come for your family.

Because millennials somehow "owe" these industries their patronage.

hey, these people didn't waste all their time and money making a brand just so you can ignore it!

Yogurt is also situationally redeemable provided we're cooking with it and not just eating melted ice cream or whatever.
