I can't wait for the "GenZ are killing the restaurant business!" headlines.

[-] MacGuffin94@lemmy.world 167 points 1 year ago

To late us millennials already claimed that. Pretty sure we killed restaurants around the same time we killed movie theaters, trade schools, and domestic beer.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 year ago

Domestic beer?! If there is one impressive thing millennials have accomplished so far, it's putting a brewery in every neighborhood of every major city in the western world. Locally brewed beer has been having a really good couple of decades.

[-] MacGuffin94@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Domestic is typically classified as beer like Budwiser and Miller. You're describing craft beer which as you said it's doing great... For IPAs

gonna be honest "domestic" beer deserves to die

[-] Followupquestion@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Hot take, Coors Light is better than the thousands of IPAs that seemingly occupy 95% of the craft beer market. Also, and maybe this is less controversial, I can get 36 cans of Coors Light for the price of 12 IPAs, and my mouth will be happier with each can of the Coors. Honestly, beer is a rental anyway, why drink IPA when there are Belgian ales, pilsners, and cervezas?

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Because I like IPAs more? I'll fully admit that the market is way over saturated with the style, but people do still enjoy them.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I actually don't get the criticism of the generic domestic beers like Budweiser, Coors, Miller, etc. They don't taste bad at all, are actually drinkable, and have a higher ABV than anything outside of a hard cider or an IPA. If someone put a craft IPA and a can of Bud Light in front of me and asked me to pick one, I'd take the Bud every time because at least I will enjoy it more than trying to choke down the bitter craft brew.

As an Australian i support this position. In the US market.

It's the only legal way to kill ourselves and it tastes better than smoking.

While it’s true that IPAs are most common, there are plenty of choices, especially at this time of year when everyone makes a Marzen, then a pumpkin, then a holiday ale. One of the reasons I like my local brewery is the variety of styles they make

In my fridge right now

  • marzen
  • “festbier”, spiced German ale
  • Boch
  • esb
  • and of course an ipa
[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

I know this - my husband is actually a small batch brewer himself - but IPAs very much dominate the market, which is what i was poking fun at

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t know if Millennials get credit for that. The legislation allowing it was signed by Jimmy Carter before these kids were born, and us X’ers did a lot more to get the industry established

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Well we killed chain restaurants.. Mainly because nobody can afford to waste our money on microwave crap when we can make better food at home

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Well yeah, but they'll move on from millennials at some point! Soon everything will be gen z's fault!

[-] MacGuffin94@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Gen z killed " millennials killed" articles

What will the lazy boomer authors do now? Won't someone think of them?

[-] rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

boomer

The author of this article, specifically, Chloe Berger, is in her twenties. Maybe early thirties. The youngest Baby Boomers are in their late sixties. They aren't, generally speaking, working anymore. Pretty soon you're gonna have to find a new age group to be your boogeyman. I assume it'll be Gen X.

[-] JonEFive@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough, it's just a stupid take then.

Or maybe I call out Zoomers and make them my boogie man. Yeah, that's what I'll do 😁

[-] rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or you could hate people for their actions and not for how old they are. Your call.

[-] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If you'd only bought fewer iPhones and avocados you could have bought a 5 bedroom house with 3 garages, a pool and a white picket fence and take a holiday abroad twice a year. You just need more discipline, pull yourself up by the bootstraps*!

*I am now going to research what bootstraps are.
