Industries Millennials Are Killing And The Reasons Why


Lifestyle | Harriet King

Millennials are popular targets for the tabloid press. Young people are criticized for everything from their style to their sexuality, and are routinely dismissed as snowflakes, overly sensitive, or unrealistic about their social and political beliefs. It's no wonder they sometimes seem to have so little hope for the future.

Not content with critiquing just about everything about the way their children and grandchildren choose to conduct their lives, the older generation have now started blaming their descendants for the closure of several businesses, and the death of established traditions. Apparently, there's nothing that can't be wrecked by the young.

In this list article, we're going to take a look at every dying trade and practice which the press has accused millennials of sabotaging and killing off. It's almost like they believe the under-35s are doing it by choice, as opposed to the fact they just don't have any money!
