Article: Millennials are tanking the entertainment industry

[CyberCubed]

We, the Millennials, our generation....are killing the entire entertainment industry! Our parents are shaking their heads in shame.

Yet you're also sinking discussion here with your posts at times, what's your point?

Millennials are destroying the world, and probably the universe, apparently.

How do you kill paper napkins... do they have a napkin app instead? Wipe their faces on their phone? Don't they still need paper napkins when they go to McDonald's? I doubt McDonald's is switching to cloth. Wait... they're killing McDonald's with their promiscuousness. Somehow. Ah, so by killing a fast food giant they are hurting the paper napkin market. Gotcha.

"Millenials are killing the movie business!"

haha, I don't think so. Hollywood just makes garbage.

It's like Baby Boomers think we've hiveminded and decided to not partake in these things.

Not like we need most of them. Golf is usually played by superrich old guys and wastes gallons of water to keep their courses green in places where they shouldn't. We don't drive because we can't afford cars and prefer to carpool, which is why Über is booming (I personally hate driving from an eco-minded and focus perspective). Paper napkins, wasteful. I guess cloth napkins are coming back? What does promiscuity have to do with McDonalds losing business? Is it not being more aware that they're terrible...not just because their food is unhealthy, but because employees tend to have horrible experiences while struggling to pay their loans and bills.

Entertainment Industry? Hack production jobs and blaming the viewers for deciding to put their money elsewhere.

Millennial is such an arbitrary classification. How can someone born in 2000 belong to the same generation as someone born in 1981? Someone born in 1981 had to go through their first 15-20 years of life without browsing the internet daily whilst someone born in 2000 doesn't remember life before facebook, twitter and youtube.

It seems people basically associate millennials with selfies and social network obsession, but I see older people, including middle aged people obsessing over social media as well.

I personally think baby boomers are a pretty interesting generation.

People born 97-onward are ruining everything.

The youngest person in my circle was born in 1995, I think. Someone born in 1997 is 18-19 year olds today. A bit too young still to "ruin everything", I'd say.

Anyway, being born in a certain time period doesn't necessarily make you a member of said generation or movement. I was born in 1990 and I don't understand or am I aware of lots of things people born 1990 and onward like/do.

What's a Millenial again? Someone born in the late 90s, early 2000s?

That aside I doubt anyone is ruining anything.

Yes! It must be the kids who are wrong!


But yeah, kids f*cking suck and Hollywood doesn't good movies anyway.

[CyberCubed]

My favorites news article is, "Promiscuous Millenials are killing McDonalds."

LOL, what does that even mean? Google it and find out.

[Utrommaniac]

I found it

By "promiscuity", they refer more to it in brand loyalty than sexual promiscuity, especially in the face of chains with more customizable and sometimes "healthier" menus like Chipotle.

someone born 1989 onward, basically anyone in the 90 who grew up in the 90's/2000....

80's-90's kids are Milllenials, oddly enough:



^ This is what teenagers in the 80's and early 90's were like. Look at that 80's mullet hairstyle, the pink shirt, and the old TV.

God, the kids of today don't know how good they have it.

Millennials are everything wrong with everything forever, the end.

Agreed. Although, it doesn't help that Michael Bay's trash keeps getting @$$loads of cash despite being so hated...Seriously, what happened to boycotting...??

I'm never so glad to be a member of Gen X as I am when the whiners come out to blame everything on millennials

[ProactiveMan]

The entertainment industry is just struggling to adjust to new technology. The internet has changed the entertainment landscape - it's not the millennials' fault, it just coincided with their coming of age.

Generations are stupid anyway. No one can agree on when they start and finish.

Exhibit A:

This guy in my class back in 8th grade got blue colour contacts for a few days. Since he wasn't used to wearing contacts he messed up and thus his eyes were irritated throughout the whole day. He was crying in art class even

EDIT: Goddamn you for making me click a buzzfeed video.
