Millennials: the generation everyone loves to hate. The babies of 1980 to 1995 take a lot of heat. I mean, we inherited a crashed economy, earn stagnant wages, live with crippling student loan debt, and try to enact change in a rigged system but our affinity for avocado toast and use of technology has wrecked society as we know it! As a tail end millennial, I wanted to know what I was ruining and, like any other annoying millennial would, I did some research. I scoured the internet, read online newspapers and scrolled through every listicle I could find. So, in case you needed another reason to resent the millennial in your life, here are the 100 industries we've killed, things we've ruined or concepts we've destroyed.
Movies
GiphyWe're killing movie theaters, too
Sitcoms
Cable
Sorry, but Netflix and Hulu beat cable every time.
DVR
Once again, Netflix and Hulu
Golf
Find me a more expensive and boring sport, I dare you.
Running
The Olympics
Gyms
GiphyBanks
Our trust issues with the banks go way back... like all the way back to 2008.
Hotels
Vacation
Because we don't take them? or because we take too many? or is just our presence on vacation a problem?
Cruises
Post cards
But is anyone sad to see them go?
Canadian tourism
Mexican internet
Still not sure how, why or when this happened but apparently it's our fault.
Suits
Designer handbags
My $10 bag from Forever 21 will work just fine, thank you.
J. Crew
Department Stores
Macy's, Sears, Bon-Ton, JC Penney's... we've killed them all
Diamonds
Diamonds are little out of our price range but we can afford to propose with a ring pop!
The Anti-Aging industry
Motorcycles
Cars
Sorry for trying to save the planet
The Toyota Scion
Home Depot
Retail
Online shopping is the only way to go.
Grocery Stores
GrubHub and Postmates... all day, everyday
Costco
Cereal
Light Yogurt
Regular Yogurt is next on our list of "Things no one liked but will complain about us ruining"
McWrap
Sorry, McDonald's
Marmalade
Honestly, I don't think millennials know what this is.
Beer

I find this one very hard to believe
Wine Corks
Drugs
Boobs

Sex
Exorcisms
Does this mean millennials are less possessed? have less demons? someone please elaborate

Wait, I thought millennials spent all of their money on avocados and Sunday brunch?!
Casual Dining

Lunch
We killed brunch and lunch?! two meals?! say it ain't so!
Napkins
Did we kill just the paper ones? or the cloth ones too? Are we wiping our mouths on our sleeves? on our arms? the tablecloth? Who knew killing napkins would cause so many questions
Print News
R.I.P every local newspaper ever
The 2016 Election
*insert deep breathing here*
Democracy
Corporate spending in elections? Russian interference? Corrupt politicians? Wrong! The correct answer was: Millennials
America
Last I checked, we we're still here... but what do I know?
Patriotism
www.youtube.comThe American Dream
The European Union
So is Brexit our fault, too?
Working
Bosses
I'm hoping this meant the concept of a "boss"... because actually killing your boss is taking the "Millennials kill everything" way too far.
9 to 5
Probably because most of us have to work 9 to 9 to make ends meet
Salary secrecy
This one should have been dead a long time ago
Serendipity
The restaurant in NYC? the concept? Both?!

The tree hugging, go green, recycle everything millennials are also the ones killing the trees: a conspiracy theory

The Oil Industry
We like our glaciers frozen, our cities above sea level, and our polar bears alive and well
Call Centers
The Focus Group
These shouldn't have been around in the first place
Crowdfunding
Education
The crippling student loan debt? The stagnant wages for teachers? The underfunding of public schools? the school to prison pipeline? All of those are our fault? yes? oh, okay great
Gen X's Retirement
Sorry, mom and dad!

Because "It's all good" is obviously not an acceptable replacement for "you're welcome"
