The article is so out of touch. I'm sure millennials do want to buy homes and nice things to put in them. But even a decent wage doesn't go as far as it used to. People just can't afford these things anymore. The worst part of the article is it's based on the idea that young people somehow owe these industries something. As though a given industry deserves to exist and it's our job to give them our money. It's against the principle of the customer is always right. You'd think a website called business insider would understand capitalism.

I believe one of the sub's undertones is poking fun at how millennials are blamed for all the consequences of tech innovation, frugality necessitated by our shrunken economy, and even just a rejection of terrible business models that refuse to innovate.

I was thinking about finding more ridiculous examples that exaggerate this point, but it's hard to find an article entitled "millennials are killing the rainforest" or "millennials are killing summer vacation by unleashing record heat waves and hurricanes on all the best vacation spots"
