Making fun of millennials

Baby boomers have been blamed for bankrupting Social Security and other evils, so my generation takes pleasure in headlines about all the things young people are destroying.
Headlines that say “millennials are killing” this and that have been so numerous that they’ve become an internet meme.
Most recently millennials have been killing American cheese. (See “Millennials Kill Again. The Latest Victim? American Cheese” by Bloomberg.)
Among the things millennials are killing with their consumer behavior are breakfast cereal, paper napkins, bar soap, fabric softener, razors, golf, big beer brands, department stores and casual dining chains like Applebee’s and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Just the other day I read that millennials think “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” is racist.
After the classic animated special ran on ABC, young people took to social media to complain that the only black character sat by himself on one side of the dinner table. (See article by the Daily Mail.)
Finally, I saw a funny graphic online recently that showed a millennial’s investment portfolio: blockchain, crypto, weed, La Croix and avocados.
