An editorialist got pissy that millennials weren't buying diamonds, and the take was millennials were lazy and not working hard enough to make boomer money.

So I'm cynical long before I read the take, since many of these kinds of articles are writteb to appeal to the insecurities of news agency owners rather than what the public is actually experiencing.

Yep, this feels exactly like the articles that attacked millennials when we were coming up. If Gen Z isn’t clubbing, I guarantee this article has the reason why wrong.

IOW, sounds like someone's night club is failing and it's the damned kids staying home all night to blame
